Build roadmaps to advance technology readiness (TRL progression) and close key technical risks

Partner with program leadership on schedules, budgets, staffing plans, and execution metrics

Develop and mentor engineering managers and senior individual contributors

Engage with regulators, partners, investors, and boards with clear technical narratives

Ensure high-quality engineering documentation, reviews, and verification practices

Qualifications

• BS/MS/PhD in Engineering or related field
• 15+ years total experience with substantial nuclear content (advanced reactors, LWRs, fuel cycle, or comparable high-consequence systems)
• 5+ years leading engineering teams, organizations, or major programs
• Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional execution and resolve technical disagreements decisively

Preferred

• Experience with licensing-facing design control and verification programs
• Experience scaling teams in fast-moving technical organizations
