From Valar Atomics's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future.
Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
You will be joining Valar Atomics' Instrumentation, Control & Electrical (IC&E) organization, working on the Reactor side of the program. Nuclear I&C Hardware Engineers own the instruments that measure the reactor itself neutron flux across startup, intermediate, and power ranges, core and primary loop temperatures and pressures, and radiation levels throughout the plant along with the signal chains that carry those measurements to the protection and control systems.
You will work alongside I&C, electrical, reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, and nuclear safety engineers in a hands-on environment where measurement quality directly supports reactor safety. The team values technical depth, disciplined documentation, and a safety-first culture.
Valar Atomics is seeking Senior Nuclear I&C Hardware Engineers to own the plant design and application of nuclear instrumentation for our high temperature gas-cooled reactor program. The role covers neutron flux detection, radiation monitoring, reactor protection system sensors and signal chains, and process instrumentation in nuclear service, applied through instrument selection and specification, signal chain and installation design, cabling and grounding, environmental and radiation qualification, and commissioning.
The focus is application of vendor-supplied instrumentation in plant design, not instrument or detector development. This is a senior position: you will own nuclear instrumentation scope end-to-end, from instrument selection and signal chain design through installation design, qualification, and commissioning, and provide technical direction to vendors, contractors, and junior engineers.
Unlimited PTO
We are committed to providing a workplace free of discrimination and harassment and will provide reasonable accommodation as required by law.
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
Compensation
$144,000 — $176,000 USD
Valar Atomics is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable law.
