Austin, TX - Fully On-Site

Are you from an advanced hardware technology background within aerospace, space, automotive, robotics or similar, looking to join a fast-growing Austin start-up that is building nuclear reactors?

This is an outstanding opportunity for a Mechanical, Design or Project Engineer from a hardware technology start-up who is craving a new challenge and wants to tackle one of the world's biggest real-world engineering problems: clean, scalable energy.

You'll join a highly ambitious engineering company where you won't be pigeonholed into one discipline or subsystem. Instead, you'll gain exposure across mechanical design, manufacturing, suppliers and project delivery while taking genuine ownership of complex engineering projects from concept through completion.

One day you could be designing mechanical systems, the next owning a major engineering project, solving manufacturing challenges or acting as the technical lead with an external partner.

For an ambitious engineer, this is a rare opportunity to broaden your skill set, take on serious ownership and work on technology with genuine real-world impact.

The Role

• Project Engineers / Mangers
• Owning projects within nuclear reactor buildouts
• Own complex engineering projects from concept through delivery
• Remain hands-on across Mechanical / Design Engineering
• Work across product development, manufacturing and project execution
• Work directly with suppliers, manufacturers and external partners
• Solve complex, real-world engineering problems

The Person

• Mechanical, Design, Project Engineer or similar
• 2+ years' professional engineering experience
• Engineering degree
• Based in Austin, TX
• Background in aerospace, space, robotics, automotive, defense, advanced manufacturing or similar hardware technology
• Experience developing complex physical products
• Entrepreneurial, adaptable and hungry to learn

We are an equal opportunities company and welcome applications from all suitable candidates.
