Do you want to contribute to the development of a new energy technology that can safely turn nuclear waste into emission-free energy? Are you excited about working in a hands-on deep tech start-up team that aims to make a huge impact? Do you like complex challenges? Then, we might be just the company you are looking for!

• Work in cross-functional workstreams in the development program (typically a project-based team of ~3-6 engineers from different disciplines such as nuclear engineering, core physics, thermal hydraulics, chemistry)
• Work on one or more assigned (sub)systems / components, towards quarterly priorities in line with the long-term program deliverables.
• Define, validate and verify (functional) requirements for the system, optimize the design to deliver on those requirements, and manage trade-offs in the design envelope. (e.g., reliability, performance, lifetime, costs) while continuously ensuring maximum safety.
• Initiate projects with our expert engineers that support you with analyses, validation, verification and qualification.
• Inspect the market on different technologies and different suppliers
• Select, qualify and manage external contractors that support you in your mission.
• Deliver system documentation, prepare design reviews, and ensure system integration.
• Build documentation and presentation to enable licensing discussion with safety authorities.
• Conduct engineering work for these workstreams (e.g., component and system design, computer models and analyses to simulate safety and performance)
• Support program management by coordinating meetings, communicating with external partners, and leading specific projects.
• Work very closely with your team leader (Nuclear Island System Lead), the program office, COO, CTO, and the rest of the teams in Lyon and Amsterdam
• Report to the System Lead, in the COO line
