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\nAmerica is building its next uranium enrichment facility, and the people we hire in the next few years will decide whether it gets built. As a Technical Recruiter at General Matter, you'll find, win, and close the engineers, builders, and operators behind it.\nYou'll join a lean, high-impact talent acquisition team and own full-cycle recruiting for interdisciplinary roles across the company, including mechanical engineering, hardware design, test, manufacturing, construction, nuclear engineering, and supply chain. Every step is yours: intake, sourcing, screening, and closing. You'll work directly with engineering leaders, and your judgment on who is exceptional will shape the company.\nWe are building a team that has not only launched products, but launched entire industries across nuclear, space, defense, and finance. If you've recruited hardware engineers in aerospace, defense, or other hard-tech environments, this role puts that experience to work on a mission of national importance.\nIf you enjoy Skunkworks-style projects, value autonomy and ownership, and are passionate about building world-class engineering teams, we encourage you to apply to join our team.\nWe are open to multiple experience levels. We care about capability, drive, and impact more than years of experience, and scope and responsibility will be commensurate with experience.\nResponsibilities\nOwn full-cycle technical recruiting for hardware engineering, manufacturing, and operational roles, from intake to close.\nAct as a key business partner to engineering leaders and hiring managers, including:Provide market insight and quickly calibrate on what top talent looks like for each role.\nRefine interview processes to drive strong hiring outcomes.\n\nDesign and run sourcing strategies for mechanical, hardware, and manufacturing talent that go beyond Boolean searches, including events, networking, and other creative approaches.\nConduct initial interviews that assess technical ability, excellence, and cultural alignment, with strong interview-to-offer results.\nDeliver a candidate experience that reflects General Matter's mission and high-performance culture.\nTrack and analyze recruiting metrics, and use them to improve our process and drive operational excellence.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree and 2+ years of recruiting experience (academic, internships, and extracurriculars at university level qualify); OR associate degree and 3+ years of experience; OR 4+ years of professional recruiting experience in lieu of a degree.\nExceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and clearly explain value to both candidates and hiring teams.\nProven ability to manage multiple competing priorities with autonomy.\nA high bar for personal accountability, consistently delivering quality results with speed, ownership, and attention to detail.\nStrong judgment and discretion when handling sensitive information and advising on hiring decisions.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience recruiting mechanical and hardware engineers (e.g., design, structures, propulsion, manufacturing, test, and integration) at high-growth aerospace, defense, space, automotive, or other hard-tech companies, either in-house or at an agency.\nFull-lifecycle recruiting experience, from sourcing to close.\nSuccess hiring for highly specialized or niche roles such as building architects, chemical engineers, nuclear licensing engineers, or other technical experts.\nAbility to tell the top 50% from the top 5% of talent in their field.\nExpertise in non-standard recruiting methods: cold calling candidates and companies, organizing networking events, identifying industry experts, and building targeted sourcing campaigns.\nDeep motivation to restore U.S. fuel enrichment capability and strengthen national energy security.\nAdditional Requirements:\nAbility to work extended hours and weekends as needed.\nThis position is based in Los Angeles and requires being onsite full-time - hybrid and remote work will not be considered.\nCompensation and Benefits:\nThe base salary range for this role is $100,000-$180,000 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.
