<p><strong>About the Company</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><u>General Matter enriches uranium.</u></p> <p>We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. </p> <p>We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. </p> <p>Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable. </p> <p><strong>CNC Machinist (Mill & Lathe)</strong></p> <p>General Matter is seeking a highly skilled Senior CNC Machinist with deep hands-on experience across CNC Mills and CNC Lathes, with a strong emphasis on live tooling programming and complex multi-axis work. This role operates at the intersection of production machining and R&D, supporting rapid iteration, fixture development, and continuous cycle-time reduction.</p> <p>The ideal candidate is a technically grounded machinist who values craftsmanship, understands fundamentals, and can also think strategically—partnering with engineering to optimize processes, improve throughput, and enable scalable manufacturing.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <h5 data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="heading" data-prosemirror-node-block="true" data-pm-slice="0 0 []"><strong data-prosemirror-content-type="mark" data-prosemirror-mark-name="strong">Machining & Programming</strong></h5> <ul> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Program, set up, and operate CNC Mills and CNC Lathes, including live tooling and multi-axis operations.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Develop and optimize CNC programs (G-code and CAM-generated) for complex geometries and tight tolerances.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Execute first-article builds, prove-outs, and low-volume production runs in an R&D environment.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Troubleshoot machining issues related to tooling, fixturing, materials, and machine dynamics.</li> </ul> <h5 data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="heading" data-prosemirror-node-block="true"><strong data-prosemirror-content-type="mark" data-prosemirror-mark-name="strong">Fixture & Process Development</strong></h5> <ul> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Design, fabricate, and iterate custom fixtures and workholding solutions.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to improve part stability, repeatability, and setup efficiency.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Lead or support cycle-time reduction initiatives through toolpath optimization, tooling selection, and process redesign.</li> </ul> <p data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="heading" data-prosemirror-node-block="true"><strong data-prosemirror-content-type="mark" data-prosemirror-mark-name="strong">Continuous Improvement</strong></p> <ul> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Identify opportunities to reduce setup time, scrap, and rework.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Contribute to standard work, setup documentation, and machining best practices.</li> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Support the transition of R&D processes into stable, repeatable production workflows.</li> </ul> <p data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="heading" data-prosemirror-node-block="true"><strong data-prosemirror-content-type="mark" data-prosemirror-mark-name="strong">Collaboration & R&D Support</strong></p> <ul> <li data-prosemirror-content-type="node" data-prosemirror-node-name="paragraph" data-prosemirror-node-block="true">Work closely with design and manufacturing engineers during early-stage development.</li&g
