Hadron Energy, Inc.
Digital Reactor Systems Engineer
Hadron Energy, Inc., San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Hadron Energy specializes in Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) development, design, and research based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the leading MMR developer, Hadron Energy is building factory‑produced, transportable microreactors that provide 24/7 carbon‑free power for data centers, government facilities, industrial sites, and remote communities. Our mission is to create a brighter, healthier, and more equitable energy future.
This is a full‑time on‑site role for a
Digital Reactor Systems Engineer , based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with deep expertise in digital instrumentation, control systems, and reactor operations who are passionate about developing the next generation of safe and reliable nuclear technology.
Role Overview You will work closely with our cross‑functional team—including nuclear, mechanical, and electrical engineers—to lead the design, development, and implementation of the
digital instrumentation and control (I&C)
and
reactor protection systems (RPS)
for Hadron’s micro modular reactor. This role is critical for ensuring the safe, autonomous, and efficient operation of our reactor, from sensor integration and control logic development to system simulation and verification.
Qualifications & Skillsets
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in
Nuclear Engineering ,
Electrical Engineering ,
Computer Engineering , or a related field
5+ years of experience in
digital instrumentation and controls (I&C)
design and implementation, preferably for nuclear or other safety‑critical systems
Proficiency in
control systems design ,
modeling , and
simulation
using tools like
MATLAB/Simulink
Experience with
digital I&C platforms
such as Field‑Programmable Gate Arrays ( FPGAs ) and Programmable Logic Controllers ( PLCs )
Strong understanding of
reactor dynamics ,
control theory , and
reactor protection system
architecture
Knowledge of
nuclear safety standards
and
regulatory frameworks
for digital I&C (e.g., IEEE Std 7-4.3.2, NRC regulatory guides)
Experience with
software and hardware verification and validation (V&V)
processes
Familiarity with
cybersecurity
for industrial control systems is a plus
Strong analytical, communication, and teamwork skills
Passion for clean energy and a startup‑minded approach to problem‑solving
