Role summary
General Matter is seeking a Reliability Engineer to own the reliability of their hardware. This role involves designing and leading test campaigns to understand system failures, performing statistical analysis, and feeding insights back into the design process. Responsibilities include defining reliability requirements, analyzing failure modes, leading root-cause investigations, and developing reliability models. The engineer will work closely with test and design teams to embed reliability practices throughout the product lifecycle. The company is a mission-driven organization focused on enriching uranium to power advanced industries and aims to make nuclear energy the most affordable baseload power source.
About the Company
General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.
We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.
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.
Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.
About This Role
As a Reliability Engineer at General Matter, you'll own the reliability of the hardware we build. You'll design and lead the test campaigns that tell us how our systems hold up over their life — how they fail, when, and why — and bring the analytical rigor to make those answers trustworthy. This is a hands-on, systems-level role embedded closely with our test organization: you'll turn requirements into test plans, make sense of the results, and feed what you learn back into design so reliability is built in rather than discovered late. As General Matter scales, you'll help lay the foundation for a dedicated reliability test capability.
