The opportunity
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team.
What you'll do
Develop and own the design of complex mechanical components and subsystems within the reactor module
Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams to define design: and functional requirements, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and industry codes standards (e.g., ASME BPVC)
Use CAD tools to translate functional requirements into robust designs that: meet structural, thermal, and integration 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
- Coordinate closely with analysis teams to guide and interpret thermal,: structural, fatigue, and safety analyses in support of design validation
- Perform detailed manufacturability reviews, tolerance studies, and DFM/DFA: assessments to prepare components for fabrication and assembly
- Create and maintain clear, well-written engineering documentation, including: design rationales, functional requirements, reviews of historical designs, and detailed explanations of system architecture and performance
- Work closely with fabrication partners to refine designs for cost-effective and practical production
