Nuclear Safeguards and Materials Control & Accountability (MC&A) Analyst​/Engineer

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.

We are seeking a detail‑oriented Nuclear Safeguards and Materials Control & Accountability (MC&A) Analyst to join our team. In this critical role, you will ensure compliance with nuclear safeguards regulations, develop and implement MC&A programs, and support operations by maintaining accurate material control and inventory tracking at a nuclear fuel cycle facility.

• Develop, implement, and maintain MC&A programs to ensure compliance with NRC, DOE, and international safeguards regulations.
• Monitor, evaluate, and report on nuclear material balances, inventories, and movements to ensure accountability and regulatory compliance.
• Analyze and reconcile discrepancies in nuclear material accounting and recommend corrective actions.
• Prepare and submit regulatory reports and documentation related to nuclear material control and safeguards.
• Perform nuclear material risk assessments and vulnerability analyses, identifying and mitigating potential threats to material security.
• Collaborate with operations, security, and regulatory teams to support safe and compliant handling of nuclear materials.
• Assist in developing and conducting training programs for staff on MC&A and safeguards procedures.
• Represent the organization during audits, inspections, and regulatory reviews by agencies such as the NRC, DOE, and IAEA.
• Stay updated on evolving regulatory requirements and advancements in MC&A technologies and best practices.

• Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
• Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals.
• Ability to perform trade studies and make clear recommendations using first principles and engineering fundamentals even with partial information.
• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical field. Advanced degrees (MS, MBA, or PhD) may substitute for years of experience, depending on the degree level.
• Strong knowledge of NRC, DOE, and IAEA safeguards requirements and regulations.
• Proficiency in MC&A software and tools, including database management systems.
• Familiarity with nuclear material measurement techniques and instrumentation.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills for preparing regulatory reports and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.
• Ability to work effectively in a regulated, high‑security environment.

• Experience in a fast‑paced engineering environment or a highly technical role requiring a resourceful, entrepreneurial approach to complete tasks within tight time frames or budget constraints.
• Certification in nuclear safeguards or material control (e.g., ANSI/ANS 3.5).
• Experience in nuclear safeguards or MC&A at a nuclear facility.

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
