About the role
About Valar Atomics 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.
The Team As part of the Engineering organization, Power Con v ers ion develops the technologies that efficiently transform reactor-generated heat into usable electrical power .
The team focuses on maximizing system performance, reliability, and commercial viability.
The Role Valar Atomics is seeking a structures engineer to join the turbomachinery team and advance power generation capability. In this role, you’ll be responsible for analyzing static components for Valar’s power generation turbomachinery. You’ll be working with cross-functional team members to define a manufacturable, high efficiency, robust design. As an early hire in turbomachinery, you will be able to directly influence design decisions on the system architecture. Key
Responsibilities Analyze components for structural margins in a variety of operating conditions and transients Size components for adequate strength Select materials that balance capability versus lead time and cost considerations Partner with cross functional partners to define required clearances for rotating turbomachinery You Will Be Successful in This Role If You are excited to be a part of a complex turbomachinery product from the beginning You thrive in ambiguous environments without defined turbomachinery design best practices You want to be part of turbomachinery design beyond a singular siloed discipline Basic
