About The Company

General Matter is enriching uranium in America.

General Matter is enriching uranium in America.

Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States.

Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel-fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.

Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society.

We were incubated by Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by top-tier investors. 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.

As a Laboratory Technician at General Matter, you will provide critical hands‑on support to our Chemistry team as we scale uranium enrichment operations. You'll work in a highly regulated laboratory environment, performing sample preparation, equipment maintenance, and quality assurance activities that directly support our R&D testing and product certification efforts. This is an excellent opportunity for early‑career professionals to gain practical experience in analytical chemistry and nuclear materials handling while contributing to a mission of national importance.

You'll work alongside experienced chemists and scientists in a fast‑paced, safety‑first environment where precision, attention to detail, and rigorous documentation are essential. If you're looking to build your career in a high‑impact field and are excited by the opportunity to support the nuclear Renaissance, we encourage you to apply.
