Description For Senior Process Design Engineer

Kairos Power, an innovative nuclear energy technology company, is revolutionizing clean energy with their fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor (FHR) technology. They're seeking a Senior Process Design Engineer to join their Inventory Management System (IMS) team, focusing on the development of their first low-power demonstration reactor, Hermes.

The role demands expertise in designing and implementing industrial-scale high-temperature process skids for molten salt systems. You'll be responsible for leading detailed IMS system design, including critical components like vessels, piping, and instrumentation interfaces. The position requires strong engineering analysis capabilities and experience with industrial or pilot scale system deployment.

Working directly with the IMS Lead Engineer, you'll collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams across pipe stress analysis, ASME pressure vessel design, process design, reliability, and IC&E engineering. The role offers an opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking clean energy technology while working with cutting-edge systems and processes.

The position offers competitive compensation ($133,900-$157,500) and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and various pre-tax benefits. Located in Alameda, CA, this role requires occasional travel (10-15%) and involves working in a fast-paced, high-concentration environment. Join Kairos Power to be part of a mission to enable the world's transition to clean energy while improving people's quality of life and protecting the environment.
