Senior OT Engineer

Valar Atomics, Orangeville, Utah +1

The role

Valar Atomics is a young startup that turns ambitious engineering into working hardware. Before our third anniversary, we designed, built, commissioned, and operated a DOE-authorized research reactor outside the national laboratory system. That pace defines how we work: learn quickly, make sound decisions, and build systems that perform. Analysis must lead to decisions and delivery, and we expect people to take ownership and see their work through. If you want hard problems, real responsibility, and the freedom to build with urgency, bring your judgment and drive to Valar.

Take a defined implementation or testing objective through planning, execution, troubleshooting, and verified delivery. Own the result for assigned systems, making sound decisions within established standards and resolving interface issues with other engineers. Deep specialists and capable generalists are both welcome; this role rewards hands-on results.
