About this role
Oklo Inc. is developing fast fission power plants to deliver clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale. They are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the design, development, integration, and validation of electrical systems supporting a nuclear fuel recycling facility, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams throughout the project lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and implementation of facility electrical systems from concept through commissioning
- Design and specify high-, medium-, and low-voltage power distribution systems
- Define system architecture, including redundancy, backup power, and safety strategies
- Perform and review power system studies (load flow, short-circuit, coordination)
- Generate and review electrical documentation (single-line diagrams, load lists, specifications, cable schedules)
- Lead integration with control systems (PLC/DCS/HMI)
- Develop grounding, bonding, and lightning protection strategies
- Support procurement, installation, and commissioning activities
- Collaborate on facility layout, constructability, and maintainability
- Generate technical documentation supporting regulatory and licensing efforts
- Serve as the electrical technical lead across lifecycle stages
Requirements:
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 10+ years of experience designing and deploying industrial or facility-scale electrical systems
- Demonstrated ownership of electrical system design through multiple project phases (concept through commissioning)
- Experience in nuclear, fuel cycle, or similarly regulated industrial environments
- Deep experience in power systems design (switchgear, transformers, protection systems)
- Expertise in power system analysis (load flow, short circuit, coordination studies)
- Experience integrating electrical and controls systems (PLC/DCS/HMI)
- Commissioning and startup experience in complex facilities
