About the Company
General Matter enriches uranium.
We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.
In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.
Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.
Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.
We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.
Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.
We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.
Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.
About This Role
As a Motor Controls Engineer, you will design, develop, and implement the control algorithms and software that run the electric motors, drives, and motion systems at the core of our enrichment technology. This role spans control-oriented modeling, motor and motion control design, state estimation and monitoring, and hands-on integration and calibration across simulation, bench, and integrated hardware. You will work with hardware throughout the lifecycle, from early prototypes through deployed systems, partnering closely with power electronics, firmware, systems integration, and mechanical teams.
Open to multiple levels of experience.
Responsibilities
-
Develop control-oriented models of motors, drives, and rotating machinery for analysis, control design, and estimation.
-
Design and implement motor and motion control algorithms to maximize system capability, performance, and flexibility.
-
Develop estimation and monitoring algorithms to maximize system safety and reliability, including state, speed, and fault estimation.
-
Evaluate novel subsystems and architectures related to motor control and drive systems to inform product decisions.
