Job Description
General Matter enriches uranium.
Key Responsibilities
- The core mission of this team is to accelerate engineering. Some of the projects we’ve worked on include:
- Building AI tooling so that every engineer can run complex safety and physics analyses before design reviews, without waiting on a specialist.
- Automating legacy simulation workflows so engineers can run neutronics with a config file instead of learning decades-old codes from scratch.
- Integrating with internal tools- tickets, design-tree, file management- and building agents that handle triage, routing, and prioritization automatically.
Requirements
- BS or higher in engineering, physics, chemistry, applied math, or related technical field.
- Proficiency in Python and software engineering fundamentals.
- Experience building tools or workflows using LLMs, AI agents, or modern AI techniques
- Engineer who codes. You studied a hard STEM field: physics, chemistry, mechanical, electrical, nuclear, math. You can follow a technical conversation with a domain expert and know which parts of their workflow are automatable before they do. You write clean, production-grade Python.
- Versatile engineering fundamentals. This role requires mastering many different fields quickly: neutronics, integrated safety, data, manufacturing. You don’t need to be the expert. You need to get fluent enough, fast enough, to build something useful.
- AI fluency. You genuinely enjoy using AI to solve problems — RAG, tool-use architectures. You’re constantly thinking about how to apply AI to reinvent or restructure existing workflows.
- Ships proactively. You don’t wait for a spec, a roadmap, or permission. You see the bottleneck, propose the approach, and show off prototypes before you’re asked.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
- Ability to come into our office every day. This role is 100% on site and in person.
- Currently a US Citizen with capability to obtain and maintain a US Q clearance.
Benefits & Perks
- The base salary range for this role is $100,000–$200,000 annually.
- Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
