Structural Engineer

Position Overview

A structural engineer at Oklo is responsible for the design, analysis, and construction of buildings and structural components.

Requirements

  • Knowledgeable about structural design, analysis, and construction.
  • Familiar with industry codes and standards such as IBC, ASCE, AISC, ACI, AWS, ASME, etc.
  • Passionate about clean energy and making advanced fission a reality.
  • Eager to work on a dynamic team, receive constructive feedback, and grow with us.
  • Willing to think differently and learn quickly.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly iterative startup environment.
  • Excited to think creatively, critically, and reflectively about the problems they are solving, while not leaning only on what has been done before.
  • An excellent writer who can communicate technical concepts in modern active voice.

Responsibilities

  • Design and evaluate structural elements for components within the reactor with considerations of other complex phenomena such as irradiation, high temperatures, etc.
  • Design structural elements of a building and other large, static structures, including structural framing and the foundation system.
  • Develop structural designs that consider energy efficiency, feasibility of construction, building code requirements, and cost minimization.
  • Analyze structural elements to predict the impact of live load, dead load, and environmental loads such as wind, thermal, and seismic.
  • Use structural analysis to propose changes and iterate on the design of structural elements.
  • Provide input on construction-site investigation.
  • Collaborate with our engineering team and contracted architects to develop construction plans and blueprints.
  • Collaborate with our operations team to create and manage a construction project.
  • Document work using modern tools and techniques, and write well-written, thoughtful technical reports.
