Piping Designer

Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Piping Designer / Drafter to join our Fuel Recycling Engineering team.

Position Description

The person in this role is responsible for developing and maintaining the engineering drawings that define Oklo's first-of-a-kind (FOAK) nuclear fuel recycling facility. This includes creation and maintenance of Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), piping layouts, equipment arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, and other engineering documentation supporting the design, construction, and operation of the facility.

This role will work closely with process, mechanical, electrical, controls, and systems engineers to translate engineering concepts into accurate, controlled engineering drawings that support design reviews, procurement, fabrication, construction, commissioning, and licensing.

The ideal candidate enjoys building clean, organized drawing packages, identifying inconsistencies across disciplines, and helping engineering teams efficiently communicate complex systems through high-quality documentation.

Specific responsibilities may include:

• Develop, revise, and maintain Piping/Process/Ventillation & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) using AutoCAD, AutoCAD Plant3D or equivalent CAD software.

• Produce piping layout drawings, equipment arrangement drawings, piping and equipment isometrics, and general arrangement drawings for process facilities.

• Coordinate closely with process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation & controls, structural, and nuclear engineers to ensure drawing consistency across disciplines.

• Incorporate engineering changes into controlled drawing packages while maintaining revision history and configuration management.

• Assist with development of drawing standards, CAD libraries, drafting procedures, and document templates.

• Perform drawing quality checks to identify inconsistencies, clashes, missing information, and opportunities for design improvement.

• Generate engineering documentation including bills of materials, equipment lists, line lists, and drawing packages supporting procurement and construction.

• Interface with fabricators, vendors, and construction teams to clarify drawings and incorporate field feedback into design revisions.

• Help establish efficient drafting workflows that support rapid design iteration within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Associate's degree, technical certification, or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Design Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
