Senior Mechanical Designer - Fuel Recycling

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Mechanical Designer to join our Fuel Recycling Engineering team.

Position Description

The person in this role is responsible for developing detailed mechanical designs, 3D CAD models, fabrication drawings, and prototype hardware supporting Oklo's first-of-a-kind nuclear fuel recycling technology. This work directly supports the development of advanced electrochemical processing equipment used to close the nuclear fuel cycle.

This position is heavily focused on translating engineering concepts into practical, manufacturable hardware. Working closely with mechanical, process, nuclear, materials, and controls engineers, the Mechanical Designer will create production-quality CAD models and drawing packages for custom equipment ranging from benchtop prototypes to production-scale process systems.

The ideal candidate enjoys designing hardware that gets built, working directly with machinists and fabricators, and iterating designs through hands-on prototyping and testing.
