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

Support the design and coordination of structural systems in BIM for industrial and critical facilities, including gravity and lateral load-resisting systems.
Perform structural analysis, calculations for steel and concrete elements, and foundation design under the guidance of senior engineers.
Assist in the design of specialized industrial structures, including high-seismic bracing, equipment supports, and heavy-loading floor slabs.
Work on the analysis of wind, seismic, and snow loads in accordance with applicable building codes.
Contribute to BIM modeling using Revit and AutoCAD to integrate structural designs with mechanical and electrical disciplines.
Support the development of structural specifications, calculation packages, and construction drawings for large‑scale projects.
Participate in workflow automation and computational design using visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper) or coding (Python, C#).
Effectively communicate technical structural concepts within multidisciplinary project teams.

What they want

Master’s degree in Structural Engineering or a Master’s in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis (recent graduate or upcoming).
Strong foundational coursework in finite element analysis (FEA), advanced steel design, reinforced concrete design, and structural dynamics.
Familiarity with BIM modeling software, such as Revit and AutoCAD.
Understanding of structural analysis software (e.g., RISA-3D, SAP2000, ETABS, or RAM Structural System).
Knowledge of material-specific design standards and fundamental physics-based engineering principles.
Interest and/or experience in AI tools for design, visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper), coding (Python, C#), and/or open‑source projects.
Internship experience at an engineering or AEC firm preferred, especially projects involving heavy industrial or high-seismic design.
Ability to communicate technical information clearly and collaboratively across disciplines.
Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
