Job Description
As Nuclear Safety Basis Lead at General Matter, you'll own the integrated safety basis for a first-of-its-kind enrichment facility — the complete set of analyses, controls, and commitments that establish how the facility is authorized to operate.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and maintain the facility's safety basis — the integrated ISA, management measures, and license commitments.
- Ensure the authorization basis remains current and internally consistent as the facility evolves.
- Ensure consistency between the license application, ISA Summary, and supporting analyses.
- Lead safety basis reviews and evaluations for proposed design, process, and operational changes.
- Interface with the NRC on license amendments, commitments, and safety basis matters.
- Coordinate across ISA, criticality, consequence, fire, design, and operations teams to maintain a coherent safety basis.
- Lead and mentor staff supporting safety basis development and maintenance.
- Maintain configuration control and documentation to support audits and regulatory reviews.
Requirements
- 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 Nuclear Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong knowledge of nuclear safety basis / authorization basis concepts and 10 CFR Part 70, 10 CFR 830, or comparable regulatory framework.
- Experience with safety basis development, maintenance, or change evaluation.

- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information to diverse audiences.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.
- Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
- Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
- Experience with nuclear fuel cycle facility licensing, or DOE documented safety analysis (DSA) and technical safety requirements (TSRs) — we consider DOE DSA/TSR/USQ experience directly transferable to NRC ISA and management-measure work
- Experience interfacing with the NRC or DOE.
- Advanced degrees.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license is preferred or the ability to obtain one.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
