The opportunity
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a radiological Hot Cell Design Engineer to join our dynamic fuel recycling engineering group, which is designing and deploying a modern nuclear fuel recycling facility.
What you'll do
Lead or support the mechanical and systems design of radiological hot cells: used in UNF recycling, including shielding, ventilation, confinement, and remote handling systems
Define equipment and material layouts, including material transfer pathways and maintenance access strategies
Work with radiation modeling and safety analysis specialists to develop: shielding requirements and establish design constraints
Integrate robotic and remote handling technologies (e.g., manipulators,: cameras, cranes, etc.) into cell design
Contribute to the structural evaluation of confinement systems, ensuring: compliance with fire protection, external hazard, and natural phenomena hazard requirements
Collaborate with structural, HVAC, instrumentation, and process engineers to: ensure seamless integration across all hot cell systems
What they're looking for
- Participate in Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA), hazard analyses, and radiological safety assessments
- Contribute to design reviews, procurement specifications, and installation and commissioning plans
- Support prototyping, testing, and commissioning of hot cell subsystems
- Passionate about clean energy, fuel recycling, and efficient stewardship of natural resources
