VP of Software Engineering/ NOS 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 Required Qualifications
Technical Excellence
15+ years of software engineering experience with 8+ years in leadership roles Proven track record building and scaling enterprise software platforms Deep expertise in AI/ML systems, data integration, and cloud-native architecture Experience with DevSecOps practices and security frameworks Knowledge of regulatory compliance systems and workflow automation Industry Experience
Experience in highly regulated industries (nuclear, aerospace, defense, or similar) Understanding of complex engineering and construction workflows Familiarity with safety-critical systems and quality assurance processes Experience with export control regulations and secure collaboration environments Leadership Capabilities
Demonstrated ability to lead large, distributed engineering teams Experience managing partnerships with major technology vendors Track record of delivering complex, mission-critical software systems on time and budget Strong communication skills with ability to interface with C-suite executives and technical teams Preferred Qualifications
Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field Experience in nuclear industry or large-scale infrastructure projects Background in construction management or industrial project execution Familiarity with Palantir technologies or similar data integration platforms Security clearance eligibility What We Offer
Mission-Critical Impact:
Lead the development of technology that will transform America's energy infrastructure Cutting-Edge Technology:
Work with the latest AI/ML technologies and data integration platforms Strategic Partnership:
Collaborate directly with Palantir Technologies on groundbreaking solutions Industry Leadership:
Pioneer new standards for project execution in the nuclear industry that could become a model worldwide Competitive Compensation:
Equity participation in America's nuclear renaissance Professional Growth:
Opportunity to build and lead a world-class engineering organization Ready to Power Americas Future?
Join us in making on-time, on-budget nuclear a reality and light the way for the world's energy future. Nuclear OS will be not just software, but a strategic asset that propels TNC to the forefront of clean energy infrastructure development. Apply now to lead the technology that will define the future of nuclear energy. Competitive compensation packages 401k with company match Estimated Starting Salary Range: The estimated starting salary range for this role is $225,000 - $260,000 annually less applicable withholdings and deductions, paid on asemi-monthlybasis.The actual salary offered may vary based on relevant factors as determined in the Company’s discretion, which may includeexperience, qualifications, tenure, skill set, availability of qualified candidates, geographic location, certifications held, and other criteria deemed pertinent to the particular role. Voluntary Self-Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file. As set forth in The Nuclear Company’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law. If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we request this information to measure the effectiveness of our outreach and positive recruitment efforts. Classification of protected categories is as follows: A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service. An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305 OMB Control Number 1250-0005 Expires 04/30/2026 PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT: According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number.
