Job description

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 under way.

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.

About This Role

Enriching uranium in America at scale starts with a supply chain that does not exist, and you would be the one to build it. As Global Supply Manager, you decide how we spot trouble early, hold suppliers accountable, and keep material flowing. Your work determines whether we can get what we need, when we need it, at a cost that scales. If you want your decisions to shape the supply base that fuels the next era of energy, this is the seat.

Responsibilities

• Grow the supply base we need. Qualify second sources, develop new suppliers, and pilot new partners for the commodities that are hardest to buy.
• Map where we are constrained. Trace critical commodities and components down through the sub-tier supplier base, flag anything with only one source or a very long lead time, and turn what you find into clear, timely calls for the operations teams.
• Act as first responder for supply disruptions: pinpoint what is causing a shortfall, pull the right experts together, and get materials moving again.
• Own the outcome. Set the supply strategy, explain it clearly to engineers, suppliers, and partners.
• Put a price tag on supply trouble. Translate late deliveries, quality escapes, and risks into costs.
• Back every sourcing recommendation with data: cost models, scenario planning, and supplier comparisons that lay out the tradeoffs and make the call easy to defend.

Basic Qualifications

• Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, supply chain, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years in supply chain, manufacturing, or operations.
• Hands-on experience launching new hardware products.
• A sharp eye for detail, a strong sense of ownership, and energy for fast-moving situations where the answer is not obvious yet.
• Ability to obtain and maintain any required security clearance and access authorization.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience in a fast-paced engineering or highly technical environment, with a resourceful approach to delivering under tight timelines or budget constraints.
• Experience scaling a product from pilot builds to full-rate production.
• Deep knowledge of at least one hard-to-source category, such as specialty metals, castings and forgings, rare earths and magnets, semiconductors, or industrial power equipment.
• Experience building digital tools for supply visibility, such as supplier dashboards or risk trackers, and a habit of using AI in your daily work.
• Familiarity with export controls or quality-regulated supply chains such as NQA-1 or AS9100.
• Start-up or early-stage company experience,

Additional Requirements

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
