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 Nuclear Safety Basis Lead at General Matter, you'll own the integrated safety basis for a first-of-its-kind enrichment facility - the complete set of analyses, controls, and commitments that establish how the facility is authorized to operate. You'll keep the Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA), management measures, and license conditions consistent and current as the facility designs, builds, and operates, and you'll ensure proposed changes are evaluated for their impact on the safety basis. This is a systems-level leadership role at the center of our licensing strategy: you'll work across engineering, safety, operations, and licensing and interface directly with the NRC on the commitments that let us operate. If your background is in DOE authorization basis work, such as DSAs, TSRs, and Unreviewed Safety Question (USQ) determinations under 10 CFR 830, that experience maps directly onto this role's core structure and is exactly what we're looking for.\nResponsibilities\nOwn and maintain the facility's safety basis - the integrated ISA, management measures, and license commitments.\nEnsure the authorization basis remains current and internally consistent as the facility evolves.\nEnsure consistency between the license application, ISA Summary, and supporting analyses.\nLead safety basis reviews and evaluations for proposed design, process, and operational changes.\nInterface with the NRC on license amendments, commitments, and safety basis matters.\nCoordinate across ISA, criticality, consequence, fire, design, and operations teams to maintain a coherent safety basis.\nLead and mentor staff supporting safety basis development and maintenance.\nMaintain configuration control and documentation to support audits and regulatory reviews.\nBasic Qualifications\nStrong understanding of engineering fundamentals.\nAbility to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.\nBachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.\nStrong knowledge of nuclear safety basis / authorization basis concepts and 10 CFR Part 70, 10 CFR 830, or comparable regulatory framework.\nExperience with safety basis development, maintenance, or change evaluation.\nExperience leading technical teams, projects, or programs.\nExcellent analytical and problem-solving skills.\nStrong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information to diverse audiences.\nAbility to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).\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.\nExperience with nuclear fuel cycle facility licensing, or DOE documented safety analysis (DSA) and technical safety requirements (TSRs) - we consider DOE DSA/TSR/USQ experience directly transferable to NRC ISA and management-measure work\nExperience interfacing with the NRC or DOE.\nAdvanced degrees.\nProfessional Engineer (PE) license is preferred or the ability to obtain one.\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.
