General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.
What you'd do
- Assist in the development of safety-critical embedded software that powers General Matter's industrial systems with reliability and precision.
- Help build low-level firmware in C/C++, Rust, and/or PLCs to control electromechanical actuators, process high-speed sensor data, and execute fault-tolerant control logic.
- Support the design of control architectures, state machines, and data acquisition systems for mission-critical hardware.
- Contribute to automated build, test, and validation infrastructure for embedded software.
- Partner closely with hardware, electrical, and controls engineers to bring up new systems, integrate firmware with hardware, and troubleshoot electromechanical challenges.
- Assist with debugging real-world embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation.
- Support integrated system testing and commissioning of embedded software running on production equipment.
What they want
- Current undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar discipline.
- Development experience in C, C++, Golang, Python, or Rust.
- General understanding of embedded or low-level systems development.
- Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn.
- Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
- Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
