UF6 Operator
General Matter
<p><strong>About the Company</strong></p> <p>General Matter enriches uranium.</p> <p>We are designing, building, and operating the world's lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.</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.</p> <p>Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. 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. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.</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.</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.</p> <p>We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.</p> <p>Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.</p> <p><strong>About This Role</strong></p> <p>As a Plant Operator at General Matter, you will operate and monitor our uranium enrichment systems, ensuring safe, reliable, and compliant operations. You'll work hands-on with cutting-edge enrichment equipment in a fast-paced R&amp;D environment where you'll see systems being built and commissioned from the ground up. This is not a typical "legacy facility" operator role — you'll interface directly with engineers, chemists, and technical teams as we scale our operations, and your input and attention to detail will directly impact our ability to deliver low-cost nuclear fuel safely at scale. You'll work rotating shifts in a highly regulated, safety-first environment handling nuclear materials, and you'll be part of a mission to restore America's enrichment capacity and enable the nuclear Renaissance. If you're an industrial operator — whether from chemical plants, refineries, the Navy nuclear program, or other high-hazard operations — and you're looking for work with real mission and impact, we encourage you to apply.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li>Operate, monitor, and control uranium enrichment equipment and support systems</li> <li>Monitor operating parameters, alarms, and instrumentation to ensure safe and efficient plant operations</li> <li>Make valve adjustments, start and stop equipment, and perform routine operational tasks in accordance with written procedures</li> <li>Record operational data, maintain logs, and complete shift turnover documentation</li> <li>Respond to process alarms, abnormal conditions, and equipment malfunctions in compliance with safety and operating procedures</li> <li>Perform routine equipment inspections and support maintenance activities</li> <li>Participate in lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and follow all safety protocols for handling nuclear materials</li> <li>Collaborate with engineering, chemistry, and maintenance teams to support testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement activities</li> <li>Support compliance with NRC, DOE, and internal regulatory requirements</li> <li>Participate in ongoing training and qualification programs to maintain operational proficiency</li> <li>Work rotating shifts including weekends and holiday
