Electrical Engineer (New Grad)

About the Company

General Matter is enriching uranium in America.

Our mission is to restore our country’s ability to make nuclear fuel. Our fuel will help power AI, manufacturing, and other critical industries. It will power our next generation of reactors. Ultimately, it will power our national ambitions.

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

About This Role

As an Electrical Engineer at General Matter, you will design, build, and test high-performance sensor, actuator, power conversion, safety, and control systems. You will design electrical circuits, implement actuator control algorithms, and write safety-critical firmware. You will have an opportunity to take ownership of systems, see work through systems designed through testing and production, and communicate with a highly collaborative, cross-functional team. This is a high-impact role for engineers excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects. 

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop highly reliable electrical systems and components for General Matter's enrichment technology.
• Conduct systems trades, requirements capture, component selection, analysis, schematic capture, prototyping, bring-up, debugging, design documentation, manufacturing planning, and production test for electrical designs.
• Create development and qualification testing campaigns to exercise designs to their limits and ensure reliable enrichment hardware.
• Work with experts from other teams and departments to ensure that fielded systems perform their intended function while being efficient, manufacturable, and reliable; challenge assumptions and build strong professional relationships.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar discipline.
• Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
• Strong understanding of one or more of the following: electrical systems architecture, circuit design, PCBA layout, and/or harness design. 
• Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• 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.
• 3+ years of design experience designing power electronics (research and extracurricular academic projects qualify).
• Experience developing new hardware, not just incremental updates.
• Experience in firmware development, electromagnetic simulation, or electromechanical integration.
• Comfortable quickly learning new analysis methodologies, simulations tools, and circuit topologies. 
• Maintains high standards of technical documentation by ensuring clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
• Proactively communicates progress and risks and contributes to a culture of transparency.

Additional Requirements:

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
