Hadron Energy, Inc.
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 an
Industrial Engineer , based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with strong process optimization, manufacturing systems, and operations design experience who are passionate about scaling advanced energy technology from prototype to production.
The Industrial Engineer will lead the analysis, planning, and design of Hadron Energy’s production and assembly workflows for micro modular reactors. This individual will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to develop efficient, scalable, and cost‑effective processes for factory production, logistics, and field deployment.
You will play a key role in shaping Hadron’s manufacturing readiness—defining production layouts, optimizing material flow, and implementing lean processes that enable reliable and repeatable reactor manufacturing at commercial scale.
