The opportunity
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our engineering team.
What you'll do
Develop and own the design of equipment and mechanical components within Oklo’s fuel fabrication facilities
Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams to define design: and functional requirements, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and industry standards
Use CAD tools to translate functional requirements into robust designs that: meet facility requirements (e.g., operating requirements and space constraints)
Conduct and participate in design reviews, providing and receiving technical feedback
Rigorously evaluate mechanical designs to identify deficiencies and: proactively propose and implement solutions
Generate and maintain detailed 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and bills of: materials using controlled processes in PDM/PLM systems
What they're looking for
