Embedded Software Engineer
General Matter
<p><strong>About the Company</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><u>General Matter enriches uranium.</u></p> <p>We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US. &nbsp;</p> <p>In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. &nbsp;Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.</p> <p>Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. &nbsp;We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.&nbsp;</p> <p>We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. &nbsp;</p> <p>Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. &nbsp;</p> <p>We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.&nbsp;</p> <p>Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About This Role</strong></p> <p>As a General Matter Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop performant, safe and high-quality software to directly control our systems. Your code will be responsible for commanding actuators and processing high-speed signals in applications where safety and accuracy are exceedingly important. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists and physicists.</p> <p>If you're motivated by solving challenging technical problems, building software that interacts directly with the physical world, and making a tangible impact on the future of clean nuclear energy, this is the role for you.</p> <p></p> <p class="isSelectedEnd"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul data-spread="false"> <li>Architect and develop safety-critical embedded software that powers General Matter's industrial systems with reliability and precision.</li> <li>Build low-level firmware in C/C++, Rust, and PLCs to control electromechanical actuators, process high-speed sensor data, and execute fault-tolerant control logic.</li> <li>Design robust control architectures, state machines, and data acquisition systems for mission-critical hardware.</li> <li>Own software from development through deployment by creating automated build, test, and validation infrastructure.</li> <li>Partner closely with hardware, electrical, and controls engineers to bring up new systems, integrate firmware with hardware, and troubleshoot complex electromechanical challenges.</li> <li>Perform safety analyses and validate control logic to ensure deterministic behavior and functional safety under both normal and fault conditions.</li> <li>Debug real-world embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation</li> <li>Contribute to integrated system testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement of embedded software running on production equipment.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Basic Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <
