As part of the Systems Enablement team, you will help evaluate, onboard, integrate, and manage the engineering tools and platforms that enable teams across Oklo to design, simulate, and deliver advanced fission power technology. You will work at the forefront of the nuclear industry, helping ensure our internal tool ecosystem is scalable, connected, and aligned to the needs of a rapidly growing engineering organization. Come be a part of powering the future with advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy.\nPosition Description\nThis role will be focused on leading the intake, evaluation, onboarding, and lifecycle coordination of engineering software platforms and vendor-delivered systems. We support a variety of internal “customers” and help ensure new tools are selected thoughtfully, implemented effectively, integrated into existing workflows, and managed responsibly over time. Oklo is a fast-moving startup, and we are scaling the structure around how tools are introduced and maintained without losing speed. You will have the opportunity to shape how engineering systems are researched, introduced, coordinated, and sustained across the company. A nuclear background is not required, but strong technical judgment, organizational discipline, vendor management capability, and curiosity about engineering systems are all essential in this role.\nSpecific responsibilities may include:\nMembers of the Systems Enablement team help align tooling, governance, and execution across engineering domains. In this role you might:\nLead intake and evaluation efforts for new engineering tools, platforms, and vendor solutions.\nGather requirements from internal stakeholders and translate them into clear evaluation criteria, implementation plans, and delivery expectations.\nConduct technical research, facilitate demos, compare solutions, and document tradeoffs and recommendations.\nServe as a primary coordination point with vendors during onboarding, implementation, and follow-on phases of work.\nDrive timelines, action tracking, meeting follow-ups, and cross-functional communication across multiple concurrent tool initiatives.\nPartner with Engineering Infrastructure, IT, and internal customers to ensure new systems are integrated into existing workflows and technical environments.\nIdentify interoperability gaps between existing and proposed tools, including APIs, data flows, permissions, and workflow dependencies.\nTrack implementation progress, surface blockers, and help coordinate internal resources needed for successful rollout and user acceptance.\nMaintain continuity across the tool lifecycle, including additional phases of work, support engagements, upgrades, and eventual decommissioning or replacement.\nBuild and maintain clear status reporting for stakeholders on active tool onboarding efforts, vendor deliverables, and lifecycle health.\nHelp define repeatable onboarding and platformization practices that improve consistency as the portfolio of tools grows.\nMinimum Qualifications:\nWe’d like to see a clear track record of the following, based on your past roles and experience:\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent industry experience.\n5+ years of experience in technical product management, solutions engineering, systems engineering, technical program delivery, engineering operations, or a similar cross-functional technical role.\nExperience working directly with software vendors, implementation partners, or third-party technical platforms.\nStrong technical understanding of software systems, integrations, APIs, permissions models, and enterprise tooling environments.\nExperience coordinating complex multi-stakeholder technical efforts across internal teams and external partners.\nExperience translating ambiguous business or engineering needs into structured plans, requirements, and next steps.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, vendors, and leadership.\nComfort operating in ambiguous environments and building structure where none exists.\nBonus Qualifications:\nPrior experience with our stack and tools is helpful, but not required:\nExperience supporting onboarding or lifecycle management of engineering, simulation, CAD, PLM, or other technical business systems.\nExperience with GitLab, Jira, Confluence, or related engineering workflow and project tracking systems.\nExperience working in regulated, compliance-driven, or high-rigor engineering environments.\nExperience coordinating user acceptance testing, rollout planning, or change enablement for technical systems.\nExperience identifying or implementing integrations across SaaS platforms, internal tooling, or vendor-hosted systems.\nExperience supporting internal platform strategy, systems rationalization, or portfolio-level tool governance.\nExperience building status dashboards, implementation trackers, or structured reporting for technical programs.\nWho you are:\nA startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.\nMotivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.\nA team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.\nAn excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.\nCreative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.\nDetail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.\nAbout Oklo travel requirements:\nOklo requires remote employees to travel to headquarters (Santa Clara, CA) twice a quarter annually, based on business or team needs, including attendance at team meetings, off-sites, and other company events or gatherings. For the first two weeks of onboarding, employees are required to be in person at headquarters in Santa Clara, CA.\nAbout Oklo compensation: $110,000-$165,000\nOklo offers flexible time off, equity, competitive pay, 401k, health insurance, FSA, flexible work hours, and other benefits.\nAbout Oklo Inc.: Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert nuclear waste into clean energy. Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel material from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories.\n#CHOP: Oklo’s Values\nCollaboration: We go further, together. We bring diverse perspectives, listen actively, and build trust through transparency and respect. We work across disciplines, sharing ownership to turn complex challenges into shared successes.\nHumility: We are team players who act for the good of the company and for the world.
