PITA Build Engineer

Company Overview

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.

Kairos Power is seeking Build Engineers to develop, execute, and continuously improve the work packages used to integrate and build reactor systems. Build Engineers bridge planning, scheduling, and field execution: they establish Clear to Build (CTB) before technicians begin, spend substantial time alongside the team during execution, and then incorporate observed lessons into the next revision. This is an operational engineering role that Kairos requires independent of AI adoption; in an AI-native organization, the engineer is additionally expected to use modern AI tools proficiently to retrieve knowledge, improve work instructions, capture lessons, and build lightweight solutions.

• Develop safe, clear, correct, concise, and complete work instructions/travelers for reactor construction, integration, test, activation, rework, and related activities.

• Translate drawings, bills of material, specifications, engineering requirements, safety controls, quality inspection requirements, tolerances, acceptance criteria, tooling, and prerequisites into executable work packages.

• Establish Clear to Build (CTB) readiness by identifying missing people, parts, plans, process, tooling, approvals, engineering inputs, or other prerequisites before work begins.<span
