Aalo Atomics is pioneering factory-fabricated microreactors designed to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. The company is based in Austin, TX and is rapidly growing as it works to deploy the world's first fleet of advanced microreactors.
As a Manufacturing Technologist, you will support the development and improvement of manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment, and test systems. Working hands-on with engineers, technicians, operators, and Quality personnel, you will build prototypes, investigate technical problems, analyze data, and help translate engineering concepts into practical manufacturing capabilities. Your work will span mechanical design support, electrical and controls systems, software and automation tools, testing, and production implementation.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build, configure, and troubleshoot prototypes, fixtures, manufacturing equipment, and test systems using engineer-reviewed requirements, drawings, and instructions
- Assist with manufacturing-process development, equipment trials, and production prove-outs; document setups, operating conditions, and results for engineering review
- Prepare and update CAD models, drawings, layouts, and bills of materials (BOMs) to support mechanical development and tooling projects
- Support sensors, instrumentation, electrical interfaces, controls, and automation used in manufacturing and test operations under engineering direction
- Develop or maintain scripts, data-collection tools, dashboards, and manufacturing-support software; document changes and test results for review before production use
- Collect and analyze manufacturing, equipment, quality, and test data; identify trends, investigate variation, and present findings and recommendations to Engineering
- Execute verification and validation activities using reviewed procedures and established acceptance criteria; document configurations, results, and deviations for engineering approval
- Investigate equipment and process problems using structured troubleshooting and root-cause methods; recommend corrective actions and help evaluate approved solutions
- Prepare and maintain controlled work instructions, test procedures, process documentation, and technical records in accordance with the Aalo Quality Manual
- Support implementation of engineering changes after required reviews and approvals, and train production personnel on approved processes, equipment, tools, and work instructions
- Submit proposed designs, specifications, process changes, and engineering releases for approval; escalate safety determinations, validation approvals, and quality dispositions to the supervising engineer
- Apply required safe work practices, including lockout/tagout and appropriate personal protective equipment; identify hazards, stop unsafe work, and perform tasks within your training, qualifications, and authorization
This is a full-time, salaried role within Manufacturing. You will work under the technical direction of an assigned, qualified on-staff engineer who directs technical assignments, reviews methods and findings, and retains engineering design authority. You will exercise hands-on technical judgment within defined objectives and requirements, recommend improvements, and implement approved changes while preserving Quality's independent inspection, acceptance, and disposition authority. This role supports engineering and does not serve as the lead or sole engineer, replace the supervising engineer, or include signing or sealing engineering work.
Qualifications:
- Two-year technical degree or diploma in mechanical engineering technology, manufacturing engineering technology, mechatronics, electromechanical technology, automation, or a related technical field
- Demonstrated hands-on experience supporting manufacturing development, prototypes, tooling, equipment, automation, or test systems
- Working knowledge of mathematics, physical principles, manufacturing processes, mechanical systems, and measurement methods relevant to technical development work
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, mechanical and electrical schematics, technical procedures, and equipment documentation
- U.S. Citizenship or U.S. Person status in compliance with 10 CFR Part 810; may not hold non-compliant foreign citizenships
