About The Nuclear Company
The Nuclear Company (TNC) is at the forefront of America's nuclear renaissance, delivering the abundant, clean, reliable energy necessary for our nation to remain the world's leader. We're not just building nuclear plants – we're revolutionizing how they're built.
Our Strategic Advantage:
Nuclear OS will be built by the team that will use it. No other effort in the industry is embedding its technology staff alongside the engineering, procurement and construction teams responsible for execution. Others attempt to build software from the outside, disconnected from the realities of nuclear deployment. The Nuclear Company is building a system designed from the inside — ensuring Nuclear OS will address the challenges that have stalled nuclear projects for decades.
About Nuclear OS (NOS)
Nuclear OS is a secure, AI-native digital platform being developed jointly by The Nuclear Company and Palantir Technologies to transform the deployment of a fleet of nuclear facilities. It serves as an integrated operating system for managing every aspect of nuclear plant construction and commissioning – from design and scheduling to supply chain, field operations, and regulatory compliance.
Revolutionary Impact:
Nuclear OS will be a comprehensive, AI-driven digital platform designed to simplify and speed up construction of nuclear reactors. Unlike existing tools that only solve aspects of a problem, Nuclear OS will be designed to integrate all phases of nuclear deployment into a single, intelligent, and automated system.
Position Overview
As Director of Software Engineering, you will lead the development of Nuclear OS, the first purpose-built digital platform to digitize, automate, and streamline the development and deployment of fleet-scale nuclear power plants. This is more than software; it is an operational paradigm shift that aligns people, data, and technology in service of deploying nuclear energy infrastructure with greater predictability, transparency, and excellence.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership
Drive the technical vision and roadmap for Nuclear OS as a comprehensive AI-driven digital platform
Lead cross-functional collaboration between software engineering, nuclear engineering, procurement, and construction teams
Establish Nuclear OS as a long-term strategic asset capable of extension to plant operations, fleet management, and decommissioning.
Technical Architecture & Development
Oversee the foundational architecture combining Palantir's powerful data integration and modeling capabilities with nuclear-specific functionality.
Ensure end- to -end system integration where improvements in one area immediately benefit all other areas through a common platform.
Lead development of core NOS components including Data Integration and Ontology, AI/ML Deployment and Intelligent Assistance, DevSecOps and Deployment Strategy, Investigative Analytics and Root Cause Analysis, and Regulatory Compliance and Workflow Automation
Build and lead a world-class software engineering organization.
Foster a culture of innovation, quality, and rapid iteration.
Develop training programs targeting 50% reduction in onboarding time and 90% adoption rate across teams.
Implement AR-powered simulations and hands-on tutorials for workforce adoption.
Work closely with Palantir Technologies to leverage their platform capabilities.
Ensure effective oversight of vendors and contractors, particularly those unfamiliar with nuclear requirements.
Manage segregated collaboration workspaces for partners with appropriate export control compliance
