Job Description
Kairos Power is a new nuclear energy technology and engineering company whose mission is to enable the world's transition to clean energy, with the ultimate goal to dramatically improve people's quality of life while protecting the environment. This goal will be accomplished through the commercialization of the fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor (FHR) that can be deployed with robust safety, affordable costs, and flexible operation to accommodate the expansion of variable renewables.
The Integration Engineer in the Precommissioning, Install, Test, and Assembly (PITA) group supports the successful execution of complex manufacturing projects by aligning production schedules, resolving cross-functional roadblocks, ensuring material and resource readiness, and coordinating tasking in the group. This role will require the individual to start and work on-site in Albuquerque, NM and then transition and support operations on-site at our facility in Oak Ridge, TN. This role serves as a key liaison between engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams, driving timely delivery and integration of technical systems in the form of modular skids. With a strong focus on continuous improvement and compliance, the PITA Integration Engineer promotes efficient workflows, clear communication, and operational excellence.
