Job Specifications
The Nuclear Company is the fastest growing startup in the nuclear and energy space creating a never before seen fleet-scale approach to building nuclear reactors. Through its design-once, build-many approach and coalition building across communities, regulators, and financial stakeholders, The Nuclear Company is committed to delivering safe and reliable electricity at the lowest cost, while catalyzing the nuclear industry toward rapid development in America and globally. The Nuclear Company (TNC) is at the forefront of America's nuclear renaissance, delivering the abundant, clean, reliable energy necessary for our nation to remain the world's leader. We're not just building nuclear plants – we're revolutionizing how they're built.
Our Strategic Advantage: Nuclear OS will be built by the team that will use it. No other effort in the industry is embedding its technology staff alongside the engineering, procurement and construction teams responsible for execution. Others attempt to build software from the outside, disconnected from the realities of nuclear deployment. The Nuclear Company is building a system designed from the inside — ensuring Nuclear OS will address the challenges that have stalled nuclear projects for decades.
About The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be instrumental in developing Nuclear OS, the first purpose-built digital platform to digitize, automate, and streamline the development and deployment of fleet-scale nuclear power plants. You'll work directly with nuclear engineers, construction teams, and procurement specialists to build software that solves real-world challenges in nuclear deployment.
Responsibilities
Core Development
Design and implement key components of Nuclear OS, including data integration, AI/ML systems, and workflow automation
Build secure, scalable systems that consolidate formerly siloed data (engineering plans, project schedules, supply chain information, quality records, sensor feeds) onto a single platform
Develop advanced analytics and AI capabilities that enable unprecedented real-time visibility and proactive control over complex nuclear projects
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with nuclear engineers, construction workers, quality foremen, and planning teams to understand their workflows and pain points
Collaborate with field teams to ensure Nuclear OS addresses real construction challenges, not theoretical problems
Partner with regulatory compliance teams to build automated workflow systems
Technical Excellence
Implement foundational architecture that combines Palantir's powerful data integration and modeling capabilities with nuclear-specific functionality
Ensure end-to-end system integration where improvements in one area immediately benefit all other areas through a common platform
Build systems that are traceable, auditable, and compliant with nuclear industry standards
Innovation & Problem-Solving
Develop solutions for transmitting lessons learned from field installation back to nuclear reactor design authorities and sub-vendors
Create data-centric requirement environments to interface with external parties while maintaining security and compliance
Build segregated collaboration workspaces for partners with appropriate export control compliance
