About Mersenne Labs

Mersenne is designing the world’s first “forever” generators, with a vision for a radically new form of long-lasting energy for Earth, space, and beyond — moving humanity away from constraints of grid electricity and fossil fuels. To achieve this goal, Mersenne is designing a mass-produced fleet of nano-scale nuclear reactors. Team background Mersenne is led by accomplished technologists and founders along with a core team of nuclear, material, and mechanical engineers with experience in micro-reactor design and construction from leading facilities. We are hiring for key leadership positions to accelerate engineering milestones and take Mersenne out of incubation. Additionally, we are building a team of regulatory experts and public sector specialists to capitalize on the opportunity in our shifting regulatory environment.
