Responsibilities
As a General Matter Software Engineer, you will develop performant, safe and high-quality software to directly control our systems.
Your code will be responsible for commanding actuators and processing high-speed signals in applications where safety and accuracy are exceedingly important.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists and physicists.
Architect and maintain deterministic, real-time systems that meet strict reliability and regulatory compliance requirements.
Integrate software with sensors, actuators, and industrial control systems (PLCs, SCADA, fieldbus protocols).
Perform hazard, risk, and safety analyses (e.g., FMEA, FTA, HAZOP) and implement mitigations in software architecture and state machines.
About the Company
General Matter is enriching uranium in America.
Our mission is to restore our country’s ability to make nuclear fuel. Our fuel will help power AI, manufacturing, and other critical industries. It will power our next generation of reactors. Ultimately, it will power our national ambitions.
We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and we are backed by top tier investors.
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.
