Applied AI Engineer

General Matter has a massive body of critical-path engineering work ahead — nuclear licensing, integrated safety analysis, design criteria, technoeconomic modeling. Conventional timelines for this work are too slow. We believe there is an opportunity to reinvent every single engineering workflow using modern AI.

The Applied AI team embeds with engineering teams across the company with a single focus: make existing engineering workflows significantly faster. You identify the bottleneck, build the tool, and move to the next problem.

This is an opportunity to define what AI-first engineering looks like at a nuclear company. The nuclear industry has done things the same way for decades. Assumptions that everyone takes for granted — “this analysis requires a PhD specialist,” “this document takes three months to draft,” “this review has to be fully manual” — are all open questions now. You get to challenge every one of them, across every team.
