About the Company

General Matter enriches uranium.

We are designing, building, and operating the world's lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.

In the process, we are restoring America's ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.

Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way.

Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.

We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

About This Role

America is building its next uranium enrichment facility, and the people we hire in the next few years will decide whether it gets built. As a Technical Recruiter at General Matter, you'll find, win, and close the engineers, builders, and operators behind it.

You'll join a lean, high-impact talent acquisition team and own full-cycle recruiting for interdisciplinary roles across the company, including mechanical engineering, hardware design, test, manufacturing, construction, nuclear engineering, and supply chain. Every step is yours: intake, sourcing, screening, and closing. You'll work directly with engineering leaders, and your judgment on who is exceptional will shape the company.

We are building a team that has not only launched products, but launched entire industries across nuclear, space, defense, and finance. If you've recruited hardware engineers in aerospace, defense, or other hard-tech environments, this role puts that experience to work on a mission of national importance.

If you enjoy Skunkworks-style projects, value autonomy and ownership, and are passionate about building world-class engineering teams, we encourage you to apply to join our team.

We are open to multiple experience levels. We care about capability, drive, and impact more than years of experience, and scope and responsibility will be commensurate with experience.

Responsibilities

Own full-cycle technical recruiting for hardware engineering, manufacturing, and operational roles, from intake to close.
Act as a key business partner to engineering leaders and hiring managers, including:
Provide market insight and quickly calibrate on what top talent looks like for each role.
Refine interview processes to drive strong hiring outcomes.
Design and run sourcing strategies for mechanical, hardware, and manufacturing talent that go beyond Boolean searches, including events, networking, and other creative approaches.
Conduct initial interviews that assess technical ability, excellence, and cultural alignment, with strong interview-to-offer results.
Deliver a candidate experience that reflects General Matter's mission and high-performance culture.
Track and analyze recruiting metrics, and use them to improve our process and drive operational excellence.

Basic Qualifications

Bachelor's degree and 2+ years of recruiting experience (academic, internships, and extracurriculars at university level qualify); OR associate degree and 3+ years of experience; OR 4+ years of professional recruiting experience in lieu of a degree.
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and clearly explain value to both candidates and hiring teams.
Proven ability to manage multiple competing priorities with autonomy.
