The opportunity
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Strike Engineer to join our engineering team.
What you'll do
Embed in high-priority engineering programs and rapidly develop a working: understanding of the system, constraints, stakeholders, and current failure modes.
Define problems from first principles by separating facts from assumptions,: identifying the governing physics and interfaces, and reducing uncertainty to testable questions.
Work hands-on across design, analysis, prototyping, testing, manufacturing,: software and data, systems integration, and field execution as the problem requires.
Establish a practical execution plan with owners, decision points, schedule,: risks, and objective completion criteria, then drive the work through verified closure.
Diagnose technical and operational failures using data, experiments, direct: observation, and disciplined root-cause analysis.
Make sound engineering tradeoffs under uncertainty while accounting for: safety, regulatory requirements, quality, cost, schedule, operability, and manufacturability.
What they're looking for
- Temporarily lead a project or team when needed by clarifying priorities,: coordinating cross-functional work, removing blockers, and communicating decisions and risks.
- Help recruit and onboard permanent owners, then transfer stable scope with: clear documentation, open risks, decisions, and next steps.
- Create reusable tools, processes, design standards, or technical: documentation when they will prevent recurring problems or accelerate future work.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
