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 This Role\nAs an early career Electrical Engineer at General Matter, you will help build the electrical systems at the heart of a new generation of enrichment technology. From sensors and actuators to power electronics, controls, and safety-critical firmware, you will work directly on hardware that must perform reliably in one of the most demanding engineering environments.\nYou will be trusted with meaningful technical ownership, work alongside experienced engineers across disciplines, and follow your designs from early concepts and circuit boards through bring-up, testing, manufacturing, and deployment. You will learn quickly by building, testing, breaking, and improving real systems.\nThis role is ideal for an early-career engineer who wants broad technical exposure, enjoys solving difficult problems with their hands, and is excited to contribute to fast-moving, Skunkworks-style projects with national importance.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and develop highly reliable electrical systems and components for General Matter's enrichment technology.\nConduct systems trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, design documentation, manufacturing planning, and production test for electrical designs.\nCreate development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise designs to their limits and ensure reliable enrichment hardware.\nWork with experts from other teams and departments to ensure that fielded systems perform their intended function while being efficient, manufacturable, and reliable; challenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar discipline.\nEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).\nStrong understanding of one or more of the following: electrical systems architecture, circuit design, PCBA layout, and/or harness design. \nAbility to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.\n3+ years of design experience designing power electronics (research and extracurricular academic projects qualify).\nExperience developing new hardware, not just incremental updates.\nExperience in firmware development, electromagnetic simulation, or electromechanical integration.\nComfortable quickly learning new analysis methodologies, simulations tools, and circuit topologies. \nMaintains high standards of technical documentation by ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency.\nProactively communicates progress and risks and contributes to a culture of transparency.\nAdditional Requirements\nAbility to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.\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\nThe base salary range for this role is $96,000-$107,000 annually. \nCompensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. Please note that the stated salary range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors.In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5442,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Retirement plans","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nuclear Energy","Nuclear Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:14:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.47,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":76,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":107000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/general-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/general-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T23:24:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31988,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171806},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171806"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/general-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgeneral-matter-electrical-engineer-new-grad"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":437835}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"generalmatter.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":437835},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
