Job Description
Senior nuclear security professional to lead the security licensing strategy during DOE authorization of our first site, carry that strategy forward into NRC commercial licensing, and ultimately help scale it across future Deep Fission sites.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent (4 years' directly relevant experience in lieu of degree).
- 5+ years of professional security experience in a nuclear, DOD, or DOE-regulated environment.
- At least 3 years working directly with NRC nuclear security regulations at a licensed, applicant, or authorized facility (e.g., supporting a license application, security plan development, or NRC audits/inspections).
- Hands-on experience authoring or substantially revising at least one NRC-reviewed Physical Security Plan or comparable regulator-facing nuclear security basis document.
- Direct experience engaging with NRC staff in pre-application meetings, audits, or licensing reviews, not solely in a supporting role behind a supervisor or team lead.
- Prior FSO or equivalent individual-contributor security lead role at a nuclear facility.
- Experience with advanced-reactor, microreactor, or first-of-a-kind (FoAK) licensing security topics.
- Experience supporting pre-application or licensing engagement with NRC and/or DOE.
- Experience designing security programs intended to scale across multiple sites or a fleet, rather than a single facility.
- Industrial Security Professional (ISP) certification or equivalent security credentials.
- Thorough working knowledge of 10 CFR Part 73 (Physical Protection of Plants and Materials), including protected/vital area design, target set analysis, and insider threat mitigation.
- Working knowledge of cyber security interfaces relevant to NRC-regulated nuclear facilities, including 10 CFR 73.54.
- General knowledge of NISPOM / 32 CFR Part 117 industrial security requirements sufficient to serve as a facility's designated FSO.
- General familiarity with DOE Q clearance and personnel security processes; depth here is not required at hire and can be developed with team support.
- Demonstrated ability to translate regulatory security requirements into concrete design and program requirements, with clear traceability from requirement to implementation.
- Strong technical writing skills, with a verifiable work history producing regulator-facing security documentation (plans, analyses, or licensing submittals).
- Working proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for report and briefing preparation.
- Able to work independently as an individual contributor and build a licensing security strategy from the ground up, without a standing security team in place at hire.
- Able to communicate clearly and credibly with government regulators, executives, and engineering stakeholders alike.
- Working knowledge of the DOE security framework (physical protection, MC&A, information security, personnel security) and relevant DOE orders/standards (e.g., DOE O 470.4C, NE O 470.1, DOE-STD-1271); helpful but not required; our team can support ramp-up.
- Familiarity with target set / vulnerability analysis and physical security design.
- Must be a U.S. person eligible to meet Department of Energy (DOE) Export Control requirements under 10 CFR 810.
- US Citizen; able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance or final U.S. TOP SECRET security clearance.
- Able to travel to Parsons, KS on a milestone-driven basis (frequency will vary; not a fixed schedule).
- Able to operate a personal computer, either desktop or laptop.
- Able to sit for extended periods of time.
- Able to travel via commercial airline and ground transportation for regular milestone-driven travel to the site in Parsons, KS.
- Able to exert up to 10 lbs. of force occasionally, and/or a minimal amount of force frequently, to lift, carry, push, or otherwise move objects.
