<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>About the Role</strong></p> <p>We’re looking for a Specialist Lab Piping Designer to lead the design of complex fluid and gas distribution systems for our most sensitive R&D, industrial, and high-stakes infrastructure projects. This role sits at the intersection of process engineering and architectural coordination, requiring a designer who understands that a wet lab or a cleanroom is only as functional as the high-purity systems supporting it.</p> <p>You will be responsible for architecting the routing, containment, and point-of-use delivery for specialized gases and high-purity water systems. Working within our Facility Design team, you will ensure that hazardous and inert gases, vacuum systems, and ultra-pure liquids are integrated seamlessly into the building’s structural and mechanical fabric, adhering to the highest standards of safety and contamination control.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li>Design and engineer comprehensive laboratory piping systems, including high-purity specialty gases such as N2, compressed air, vacuum, and RODI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionized) water systems.</li> <li>Prepare high-fidelity design packages in Revit, owning the 3D coordination of sloped waste lines, gas manifolds, and overhead service carriers within complex ceiling voids.</li> <li>Specify materials and components appropriate for the medium, ranging from orbitally welded stainless steel for high-purity gases to acid-resistant neutralized waste piping for wet labs.</li> <li>Develop P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and flow schematics that define system logic, pressure regulation, and emergency shut-off protocols.</li> <li>Lead multidisciplinary coordination to ensure piping routes do not conflict with structural bracing, HVAC ductwork, or electrical busways, maintaining strict architectural clearances.</li> <li>Ensure code compliance with NFPA 45 (Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories using Chemicals), NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code), and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping).</li> <li>Support construction and commissioning by performing submittal reviews and technical field inspections to verify the integrity of specialized joints and purges.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Basic Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Architecture.</li> <li>8+ years of experience in specialized piping design for R&D, healthcare, or semiconductor facilities.</li> <li>Advanced proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, specifically in creating parametric pipe types and complex 3D assemblies for laboratory equipment.</li> <li>Deep technical knowledge of laboratory-grade plumbing, gas cabinet integration, and high-purity water generation.</li> <li>Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, balancing the precision of micro-level piping details with the scale of massive industrial facility design.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Preferred Skills and Experience</strong></p> <ul> <li>Professional Engineer (PE) or AIA license is highly preferred.</li> <li>Experience with BIM automation (Dynamo or Python) to streamline pipe routing and automated pressure drop calculations.</li> <li>Prior experience in nuclear or pharmaceutical environments, where containment and high-integrity piping are mission-critical.</li> <li>Familiarity with seismic bracing for piping systems in high-seismic zones.</li> <li>Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex P&IDs into clear architectural layouts for project stakeholders.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Why General Matter</strong></p> <ul> <li>Scale: Work on specialized systems for a massive, first-of-its-kind enrichment facility.</li> <li>Complexity: Solve the unique challenges of routing hazardous and high-purity media in a high-security industrial context.</li> <li>Innovation: Join a team that values digital engineering and "hands-on" technical excellence from design through construction.</li> </ul> &l
