Job description

About the Company

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now underway.

Our 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.

We 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.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first‑principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

We are a mission‑driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high‑energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

You will assist with first builds, development testing, production trials, and rework/repair of critical instrumentation, control, and powertrain assemblies. This is an exciting role in a fast‑paced startup environment with a team dedicated to bringing enrichment back to US soil.

Responsibilities

• Fabricate and assemble high‑quality and reliable wire harnesses and electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Read, interpret, and work from drawings and controlled documentation and processes.
• Perform verification of hardware, and document results in a clear, precise, and complete manner.
• Assist with the development of production processes for first‑time production runs.
• Collaborate with design engineers to troubleshoot failures and issues derived from test data.
• Build and terminate AC power equipment up to 480VAC.
• Build electrical control panels to NFPA 79 & UL 508A standards.
• Solder and desolder through‑hole and SMT components.
• Support conformal coat, masking, epoxy application and coating.

Basic Qualifications

• High school degree or equivalency certificate.
• Understanding of basic electronic theory.
• Experience in electrical troubleshooting.
• Skilled with mechanical hand tools.
• 2+ years of hands on work experience.
• Creative approach to problem solving, with willingness to learn and try new things.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• 4+ years of experience in electro‑mechanical assembly, integration or mechanical assembly experience.
• Experience autonomously setting up and running tests and experiments.
• Maintaining rigorous attention to detail with outstanding work efficiency.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
