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.

  • Collaborate with machinists, welders, engineers, and technicians to optimize designs.
  • Provide troubleshooting for production tool issues.

Basic Qualifications :

  • Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of tooling or fixture design experience.
  • Proficient in a 3D CAD package (such as Solidworks, CATIA, NX, etc.).
  • Knowledge of GD&T and machining processes.
  • Preferred Skills and Experience :

  • Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience in automotive, aerospace, or similar industries requiring custom tooling and complexity.
  • Knowledge of additive manufacturing for rapid tooling.
  • Experience in a fast-paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight timeframes or budget constraints.
  • Lean manufacturing and ergonomic design knowledge.
  • Additional Requirements :

  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
  • Compensation and Benefits :

    The base salary range for this role is $90,000–$175,000 annually.

    Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity.
