Lead Engineer, Power Conversion

Humanity faces two critical challenges: securing reliable energy and aggressively lowering our environmental impact. At Forge, we believe nuclear fission is the key to solving both at once. Today Forge is developing the technology to rapidly scale the deployment of nuclear fission.

The Lead Engineer, Power Conversion is responsible for delivering the system that generates electricity from hot, high-pressure steam produced by our first nuclear reactor – Ember. The power conversion system includes a turbine and generator, high-power electrical systems interfacing with an electrical load, a regenerative feedwater heating train, condensate filtration and polishing, control electronics, heat rejection, and more. This role leads a team of mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers and initially reports directly to the CEO / Chief Engineer. The team will first deliver the system for Ember Mini, our subscale non-nuclear prototype, then a full-scale system ready for nuclear operations and high-rate production. Successful candidates will have previously demonstrated extreme ownership delivering complex electromechanical systems, and will be highly motivated to power humanity with abundant, clean energy.
