Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Test Process Equipment Engineer to join our team in Idaho Falls.
Oklo is transforming the future of energy, and we are looking for a Test Process Equipment Engineer to support the design, fabrication, commissioning, operation, and modification of test platforms used in advanced nuclear technology development.
In this role, you will be responsible for process and mechanical equipment throughout the full test-platform lifecycle—from defining requirements and developing conceptual designs through equipment procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning, test execution, and system improvement with 10% travel.
The ideal candidate combines strong engineering fundamentals with practical, hands-on experience. You should be comfortable performing engineering calculations, selecting and specifying equipment, reviewing fabrication work, troubleshooting operating systems, and making sound technical decisions in a fast-paced testing environment. Experience working under a nuclear quality assurance program, is preferred.
Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale; establishing a domestic supply chain for critical radioisotopes; and advancing nuclear fuel recycling to convert nuclear waste into clean energy. Oklo was the first to receive a site use permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a commercial advanced fission plant, was awarded fuel material from Idaho National Laboratory, and submitted the first custom combined license application for an advanced reactor to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Oklo is also developing advanced fuel recycling technologies in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. National Laboratories.
Specific responsibilities may include:
Process Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, pressure systems, piping, and industrial process equipment
Equipment Expertise: Working knowledge of pumps, valves, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, heaters, tanks, filters, regulators, relief devices, vacuum equipment, and gas-handling systems
Analytical Ability: Able to interpret complex data, distinguish material behavior from test artifacts, identify trends and anomalies, and develop technically defensible conclusions
Communication: Communicates technical requirements clearly to engineers, technicians, fabricators, suppliers, operators, and quality personnel
Adaptability: Comfortable working in a development environment where test requirements, equipment configurations, and priorities may evolve
A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that
Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals
A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team
An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator
Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day
Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward
