Our 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 Material Control & Accountability (MC&A) Program Manager at General Matter, you'll build and lead the program that controls and accounts for every quantity of special nuclear material (SNM) we receive, process, store, and transfer. You'll own MC&A end-to-end: measurement and measurement control, item control and physical inventory, material balance closure, regulatory reporting, and audit and inspection response. You'll write the program and its procedures yourself rather than inherit them.\nMost MC&A careers are spent maintaining a program someone else designed decades ago. This role is a rare chance to design one from first principles for a new U.S. enrichment facility. You'll work alongside the engineers designing the plant, so accountability is built into the process and equipment from the start instead of added afterward. Your calls on material balance areas, key measurement points, and accounting systems will shape how General Matter operates for decades, and will decide whether we're ready when our first feed material arrives.\nIf you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.\nResponsibilities\nProgram Development\nBuild General Matter's MC&A program from the ground up, including the Fundamental Nuclear Material Control (FNMC) Plan and its implementing procedures, in full compliance with 10 CFR Parts 74 and 75 and applicable DOE and IAEA safeguards requirements\nDefine material balance areas, key measurement points, and the measurement control and physical inventory programs\nSelect and implement the nuclear material accounting system and records that support material balance closure and reporting\nLead nuclear material risk assessments and vulnerability analyses, identifying and mitigating potential threats to material control\nMonitor evolving regulatory requirements and advances in MC&A technology and practice, and adapt the program accordingly\nRegulatory Compliance & Reporting\nPrepare and submit regulatory reports and documentation, including NMMSS transaction and material balance reporting (DOE/NRC Forms 741 and 742)\nRepresent General Matter during audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews by the NRC, DOE, and IAEA\nDevelop MC&A content for the facility license application and respond to regulator requests for additional information\nCross-Functional Integration\nPartner with engineering early in plant and equipment design so measurement, sampling, and containment needs are designed in\nCoordinate with security and operations on program development so MC&A, physical protection, and operating procedures stay aligned\nPartner with operations, security, and regulatory teams to support safe and compliant handling of nuclear material\nTeam Building & Training\nHire and develop the MC&A team at operating locations\nDevelop and lead MC&A and safeguards training for operations, security, and engineering staff\nBasic Qualifications\n3+ years of MC&A program management experience at a nuclear fuel cycle facility or comparable SNM-licensed site\nEvidence of exceptional ability (e.g., an MC&A program, plan, or accounting system you built or substantially improved)\nStrong working knowledge of 10 CFR Part 74 and applicable DOE and IAEA safeguards requirements\nB.S./B.A. or advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in science or engineering\nAbility to obtain and maintain required security clearance and access authorization, including eligibility for access to NRC Safeguards Information\nStrong written and verbal communication skills for preparing regulatory reports and representing the program during audits and inspections\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nDirect experience designing, implementing, or substantially rebuilding an MC&A program\nExperience with Category II or Category III MC&A programs (10 CFR Part 74 Subparts C and D), including FNMC plan development\nHands-on experience with NMMSS reporting, nondestructive assay (NDA), and measurement control programs\nCompleted DOE National Training Center MC&A coursework, active involvement in INMM, or working familiarity with the ANSI N15 series of standards\nExperience at an enrichment, fuel fabrication, or DOE/NNSA site, or prior experience as an NRC, DOE, or IAEA safeguards inspector\nExperience building or scaling a compliance function in a fast-paced, resource-constrained, or startup environment\nPrior supervisory or team-lead experience\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 $150,000-$250,000 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.
