Specialist Lab Piping Designer (Buildings)
General Matter
<p><strong>About the Company</strong></p> <p></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 the Role</strong></p> <p>We’re looking for a Specialist Lab Piping Designer to lead the design of complex fluid and gas distribution systems for our most sensitive R&amp;D, industrial, and high-stakes infrastructure projects. This role sits at the intersection of process engineering and architectural coordination, requiring a designer who understands that a wet lab or a cleanroom is only as functional as the high-purity systems supporting it.</p> <p>You will be responsible for architecting the routing, containment, and point-of-use delivery for specialized gases and high-purity water systems. Working within our Facility Design team, you will ensure that hazardous and inert gases, vacuum systems, and ultra-pure liquids are integrated seamlessly into the building’s structural and mechanical fabric, adhering to the highest standards of safety and contamination control.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li>Design and engineer comprehensive laboratory piping systems, including high-purity specialty gases such as N2, compressed air, vacuum, and RODI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionized) water systems.</li> <li>Prepare high-fidelity design packages in Revit, owning the 3D coordination of sloped waste lines, gas manifolds, and overhead service carriers within complex ceiling voids.</li> <li>Specify materials and components appropriate for the medium, ranging from orbitally welded stainless steel for high-purity gases to acid-resistant neutralized waste piping for wet labs.</li> <li>Develop P&amp;IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and flow schematics that define system logic, pressure regulation, and emergency shut-off protocols.</li> <li>Lead multidisciplinary coordination to ensure piping routes do not conflict with structural bracing, HVAC ductwork, or electrical busways, maintaining strict architectural clearances.</li> <li>Ensure code compliance with NFPA 45 (Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories using Chemicals), NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code), and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping).</li> <li>Support construction and commissioning by performing submittal reviews and technical field inspections to verify the integrity of specialized joints and purges.&l
