Job description

Our Mission Is Simple: Democratize Access To Clean Energy

Welcome to BlueCore Energy! We are on a relentless mission to democratize access to clean energy. By designing and building advanced floating Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) on barges right here in Long Beach, CA, we are bringing scalable, clean, and reliable power to the world. Joining our team means getting in on the ground floor of a revolution in marine small modular reactors (SMRs). If you are passionate, driven, and ready to tackle some of the most exciting challenges of our time, we want you on our team!

Our Values

• Humility — We hold strong opinions loosely, say "I don't know," ask for help early, and let the best idea win regardless of who it came from.

• Inclusivity — The best engineering comes from many perspectives. We build a team where everyone is heard, and we mean it.

• Pragmatism — We solve the real problem in front of us, reuse what already works, and value a tested answer over an elegant one.

About the Role

Don’t see an open position that matches your exact skill set? That doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you! At BlueCore Energy, our ambitious mission to democratize clean energy via floating Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) means our team is constantly growing and evolving. We are always on the lookout for visionary problem-solvers, resilient builders, and pragmatic thinkers who are passionate about redefining the future of marine small modular reactors.

Responsibilities

• Apply your unique functional expertise, whether in engineering, software, manufacturing, operations, or business, to advance the design and production of our floating SMRs.

• Collaborate seamlessly across multiple disciplines to rapidly solve complex technical or operational challenges.

• Adapt quickly to evolving project needs and shifting priorities inherent to a high-growth startup environment.

• Bring a hands‑on approach to your daily work, proactively identifying bottlenecks and proposing practical, tested solutions.

• Champion our core values of humility and inclusivity, ensuring transparent communication and letting the best ideas win.

• Maintain and uphold the rigorous safety, quality, and compliance standards required in the nuclear and marine manufacturing industries.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Demonstrated passion for clean energy, advanced nuclear technology, or marine engineering innovations.

• Proven track record of success and adaptability in a fast‑paced, highly dynamic, or startup environment.

• Strong foundational expertise and a proven history of execution in your specific professional discipline.

• Exceptional analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a bias for pragmatic, actionable solutions over purely theoretical ones.

• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to ask for help early and hold strong opinions loosely.

Working at BlueCore Energy

On‑Site Requirement: Our team works together at our Long Beach facility, right next to our barge.

Highly Cross‑Functional: Startups move fast! You must possess the ability to seamlessly collaborate across multiple teams to rapidly solve problems and keep production moving.
