Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.\nOur mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. \nWe were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. \nOur lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. \nWe are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. \nHelp us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. \nAbout The Team \nThe Test Team is responsible for development, qualification, and acceptance testing of all hardware products at General Matter. We create and maintain the infrastructure and standards to support rapid hardware development. \nAbout This Role \nAs a Development Fabrication Technician, you build the physical test infrastructure the team depends on: test stands, fluid systems, fixtures, ground support equipment, and test articles. This hands-on role provides critical feedback to engineers and ensures quality hardware is built even in a fast-moving development environment. Your primary output is fabrication, but you'll also support test article assembly and, as your skills allow, test execution alongside the engineering team. \nResponsibilities \nFabricate and assemble test stands, fixtures, support equipment, and test articles from engineering drawings and concept sketches \nWeld (TIG/MIG) per drawings and applicable codes - prep, fit, tack, finish, and inspect weldments \nBend, route, fit, and install tube and fluid-system hardware including fittings, flex lines, and supports - pneumatic, hydraulic, and cryogenic \nMachine and modify parts (manual mill/lathe, drilling, and/or CNC) for fixtures, adapters, and tooling \nPerform precision mechanical assembly - fastener install, torque, alignment, and rigging of test hardware \nRead and build from engineering drawings, GD&T, and fluid/electrical schematics \nMaintain shop equipment, tooling, and consumables; keep a safe, organized, FOD-controlled work area \nFeed design-for-manufacturability and tooling improvements back to engineering \nSupport test setup and execution \nBasic Qualifications \n4+ years in technician or development support role \nDemonstrated proficiency with hand and power tools and at least one core fabrication discipline (welding, machining, fluid-system fabrication, structural and mechanical assembly, electrical build) \nAbility to read and build from engineering drawings and GD&T \nPreferred Skills and Experience \nExperience fabricating test stands, support equipment, or pressurized/vacuum fluid systems in an Aerospace/automotive environment \nFamiliarity with test instrumentation. \nKnowledge of Lean/Kaizen principles. \nCross-functional assembly experience. \nFamiliarity with cleanliness and quality requirements for flight, nuclear, or other high-reliability hardware \nAdditional Requirements\nPhysical effort including standing, lifting, and carrying equipment up to 50 lbs. unassisted.\nMust be able to work all required shift hours, overtime and/or weekends as needed.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.\nCompensation and Benefits: \nPay range: $30.00-$60.00/hour\nCompensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data.
