Test Technician

About this role

About the Company

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. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

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.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

About The Team

The Test Team is responsible for development, qualification, and acceptance testing of all hardware products at General Matter. We create and maintain the infrastructure and standards to support rapid hardware development.

About This Role

As a Test Technician, you execute hardware test operations - setting up, instrumenting, running, and tearing down tests on the team's test stands. You are the hands on the hardware during a test campaign: you make the setup real, run the test to procedure, and troubleshoot when issues arise. Your primary output is test setup and execution; you'll also support build and assembly when the campaign needs it.

Responsibilities

• Set up test articles, fixtures, and stands for mechanical, structural, thermal, fluid, and vacuum testing per defined procedures

• Install and route instrumentation - strain gauges, thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transducers, load cells, accelerometers. Connect to data acquisition systems per defined configurations
