Lead, Safety Basis

About the Company

General Matter is enriching uranium in America.

Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States.

Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel—fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.

Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society.

We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and 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.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

About This Role

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. You'll keep the Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA), management measures, and license conditions consistent and current as the facility designs, builds, and operates, and you'll ensure proposed changes are evaluated for their impact on the safety basis. This is a systems-level leadership role at the center of our licensing strategy: you'll work across engineering, safety, operations, and licensing and interface directly with the NRC on the commitments that let us operate. If your background is in DOE authorization basis work, such as DSAs, TSRs, and Unreviewed Safety Question (USQ) determinations under 10 CFR 830, that experience maps directly onto this role's core structure and is exactly what we're looking for.
