Applied AI Engineer

The core mission of this team is to accelerate engineering. Some of the projects we’ve worked on include:

• Building AI tooling so that every engineer can run complex safety and physics analyses before design reviews, without waiting on a specialist.

• Automating legacy simulation workflows so engineers can run neutronics with a config file instead of learning decades-old codes from scratch.  

• Integrating with internal tools- tickets, design-tree, file management- and building agents that handle triage, routing, and prioritization automatically. 

• Engineer who codes. You studied a hard STEM field: physics, chemistry, mechanical, electrical, nuclear, math. You can follow a technical conversation with a domain expert and know which parts of their workflow are automatable before they do. You write clean, production-grade Python. 

• Versatile engineering fundamentals. This role requires mastering many different fields quickly: neutronics, integrated safety, data, manufacturing. You don’t need to be the expert. You need to get fluent enough, fast enough, to build something useful. 

• AI fluency. You genuinely enjoy using AI to solve problems — RAG, tool-use architectures. You’re constantly thinking about how to apply AI to reinvent or restructure existing workflows. 

• Ships proactively. You don’t wait for a spec, a roadmap, or permission. You see the bottleneck, propose the approach, and show off prototypes before you’re asked. 
   

• Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
