Technical Recruiter - Hardware Engineering

General Matter enriches uranium. We are designing, building, and operating the world's lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US. In the process, we are restoring America's ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive. Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume. Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way. Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable. We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society. We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms. Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production. We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency. Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

General Matter is hiring a tenacious Technical Recruiter in Los Angeles to build the hardware engineering, manufacturing, and nuclear teams behind America's next uranium enrichment facility. You'll join a lean, high-impact talent acquisition team. You will own full-cycle technical recruiting for interdisciplinary roles across the company, including mechanical engineering, hardware design, test, manufacturing, construction, nuclear engineering, and supply chain. You'll handle every step, from intake and sourcing to screening and closing exceptional engineering talent.

We are building a team that has not only launched products, but launched entire industries across nuclear, space, defense, and finance. If you've recruited mechanical and hardware engineers in aerospace, defense, or other hard-tech environments, this role puts that experience to work on a mission of national importance.

The team is highly collaborative, operates with integrity, and is deeply committed to bringing nuclear fuel enrichment back to US soil. If you enjoy Skunkworks style projects, value autonomy and ownership, and are passionate about building world-class engineering teams, we'd love to hear from you.

We are open to multiple experience levels for the role. We care about capability, drive, and impact more than years of experience. Scope and responsibility will commensurate with experience.
