Electrical Engineer (New Grad)

About The Company

General Matter enriches uranium. We design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, based in the US. Our mission is to make nuclear energy the cleanest, safest, and most affordable source of baseload power. Founded by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir, we are backed by leading venture capital firms. Our lean, world-class team applies a first-principles approach to nuclear fuel production. We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

About This Role

As an early career Electrical Engineer at General Matter, you will help build the electrical systems at the heart of a new generation of enrichment technology. You will work directly on hardware that must perform reliably in one of the most demanding engineering environments. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who wants broad technical exposure, enjoys solving difficult problems with their hands, and is excited to contribute to fast-moving, Skunkworks-style projects with national importance.

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.

Additional Requirements

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
