Description

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 We are seeking a skilled Integrated Safety Analysis Engineer to support the development and implementation of the Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA). You will support the identification and maintenance of Items Relied On For Safety (IROFS), as well as ensure compliance with criticality, chemical process, fire safety strategies, and detailed nuclear safety designs. This position is also responsible for maintaining the ISA Summary and all related documentation to meet regulatory standards. Responsibilities: Develop and maintain Safety Basis Documents to ensure compliance with regulatory and design requirements. Analyze and adapt safety principles from reference plants, incorporating them into the project’s IROFS designs. Evaluate interfaces of systems to ensure proper integration with other safety equipment. Understand, document, and manage system interfaces to ensure accuracy and clarity. Evaluate design changes against the license application to identify impacts on the ISA following 10CFR70 requirements. Collaborate with the Licensing team to maintain and update the ISA Summary and other safety documentation. Provide technical input for the Integrated Schedule and coordinate safety-related project activities. Support safety reviews, including Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA), Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA), and External Hazard Analysis (EHA). Assist in the development and implementation of the Nuclear Safety Programs, as well as other safety-related plans and procedures.
