Responsibilities
The core mission of this team is to accelerate engineering.
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
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.
