Electrical Engineer - Buildings (New Grad)

Los Angeles, CA

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

We’re looking for an early-career Electrical Engineer with a strong interest in electrical systems design for industrial and mission‑critical facilities to join our growing engineering team. You’ll collaborate with experienced engineers and designers to develop power, lighting, and low‑voltage systems for data centers, manufacturing plants, refineries, and other large‑scale infrastructure. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated graduate eager to contribute to high‑reliability, energy‑intensive facility design in the AEC industry.  

Responsibilities

  • Support the design and coordination of electrical power systems in BIM for industrial and critical facilities.  
  • Perform load calculations, circuit analysis, panel schedules, and equipment layouts under the guidance of senior engineers.  
  •  Assist in the design of medium‑voltage distribution networks, substations, and backup systems including preparing single line diagrams for systems.  
  •  Work on lighting design, grounding, and protective device coordination.  
  •  Contribute to BIM modeling using Revit and AutoCAD to integrate designs with mechanical and structural disciplines.  
  •  Support documentation, specifications, and construction drawings for large‑scale projects.  
  •  Participate in workflow automation and data analytics using visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper) or coding (Python, C#).  
  •  Effectively communicate technical ideas within multidisciplinary project teams.  

Basic Qualifications

  •  Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field (recent graduate or upcoming).  
  •  Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc).
  •  Coursework in electrical power systems, machines, circuits, and building services engineering.  
  •  Familiarity with BIM modeling software, such as Revit and AutoCAD.  
  •  Understanding of medium‑voltage distribution, load analysis, and design fundamentals.  
  •  Knowledge of lighting and energy modeling tools (e.g., Dialux, IES‑VE) is advantageous.  
  •  Interest and/or experience in AI tools for design, visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper), coding (Python, C#), and/or open‑source projects.  
  •  Internship experience at an engineering or AEC firm preferred, especially projects involving industrial or power‑intensive facilities.  
  •  Ability to communicate technical information clearly and collaboratively across disciplines.  

Preferred Skills and Experience

  •  Familiarity with electrical codes and standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE).  
  •  Exposure to power system studies, short‑circuit and arc‑flash analysis, or relay protection.  
  •  Experience with renewable integration, generator systems, or UPS and battery energy storage.  
  • Understanding of data center electrical topologies (Uptime Tier standards, redundancy design).  

Additional Requirements

  • Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.
