Mechanical Engineer, Optomechanical Systems
General Matter, Los Angeles, CA
The role
As a General Matter Mechanical Engineer, you will design, build, test, and own the mechanisms and mechanical structures enabling our next-generation enrichment technology — including precision optical and photonic subsystems, beam delivery hardware, and components that must survive demanding thermal, chemical, and material-compatibility conditions unique to uranium processing. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, optical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists, metallurgists, and physicists.
If you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects at the frontier of enrichment technology, we encourage you to apply to join our team.
What you will do
- Develop mechanisms and mechanical structures for enrichment — including precision mounts, alignment stages, beam delivery paths, or enclosures for optical and photonic subsystems — and own them through the entire product lifecycle including requirements definition, design, development, qualification, and release to production.
