Design Reliability Engineer

The Design Reliability team makes sure that what we design is what we build, and that it works. We evaluate and guide engineering designs from concept to operation, so the enrichment technology we deliver meets or exceeds both our internal design criteria and our external requirements. We are the connective tissue of the engineering organization: we facilitate cross-disciplinary action and problem-solving across every team and program, and we make sure nothing falls between them.

If you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.

• ◆Ensure General Matter's design process and design criteria are followed for our enrichment technology, from concept through build, including:
• ◆Run design reviews and give the pass/fail call on whether a design is ready to move forward.
• ◆Facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion, capture decisions, and convert them into actions with clear owners and due dates, then drive those actions to closure.
• ◆Drive improvements to the design through close integration with hardware and engineering teams.
• ◆Maintain the integrity of our configuration, including:
• ◆Run change reviews and confirm that every change is evaluated, approved, and reflected across all affected documents and teams.
• ◆Maintain official design documents, drawings, and P&IDs controlled and current.
• ◆Manage design criteria and the connections between design elements in Stillsuit, so that what we've designed, documented, and built always match.
• ◆Identify, track, and retire engineering risk, including:
• ◆Surface risks early, put an owner and a mitigation plan on each one, and push every risk to closure.
• ◆Escalate quickly when risks or actions stall.
• ◆Keep the whole system connected, including:
• ◆Build working knowledge of how every subsystem and team fits together.
• ◆Spot missing interfaces between teams and drive the coordination needed to close them.
• ◆Automate review, document control, and risk workflows, using AI where it helps, so our process scales as the company does.
