Member of Nuclear Staff
Columbia, South Carolina, United States · Posted 14 days agoDescription
The Nuclear Company is the fastest growing AI tech-enabled startup in the nuclear and energy space, pioneering a fleet-scale approach to building the next generation of nuclear reactors. Through our design-once, build-many model, we're accelerating the deployment of safe, reliable, and affordable nuclear energy.
We operate with an AI-first mindset. Every employee is expected to leverage AI, technology, and the Nuclear Operating System (NOS) as integral components of their role to improve the quality, speed, and impact of their work. We expect every team member to continuously identify opportunities to automate workflows, enhance decision-making, improve processes, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of NOS as a strategic operating capability that enables The Nuclear Company to scale with excellence.
We hire people who are driven by purpose, thrive in ambiguity, and are energized by building what has never been built before. Our team combines intellectual curiosity with high agency, embraces candid feedback and continuous learning, and holds themselves and others to exceptional standards. Our values—Transparency, Responsibility, Unity, Scrappy, and Tenacity—guide how we hire, collaborate, and make decisions every day. They are not words on a wall; they are the standard by which we operate. TRUST is the foundation of our safety culture, fostering intellectual honesty, accountability, and open communication, while our values challenge every team member to execute with urgency, humility, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to our mission.
About the role
The Member of Nuclear Staff is a senior individual-contributor role for exceptional technical leaders who can operate across traditional engineering and organizational boundaries.
We are seeking experienced professionals with deep expertise in one or more of the following areas: mechanical engineering, civil/structural engineering, construction and project delivery, or nuclear licensing and regulatory affairs.
This is not a narrowly defined engineering position. Members of Nuclear Staff are expected to take ownership of consequential technical and programmatic problems, establish direction where precedent may be limited, and work across engineering, construction, licensing, supply chain, project management, and executive leadership.
You will bring the rigor expected of the nuclear industry and combine it with AI, operating with speed, adaptability, and bias toward execution required in a hyper-growth technology company.
