    About AMPERA

    AMPERA is redefining clean, energy with compact, ultra-safe nuclear systems that power AI, industry, and defense with zero emissions and unmatched reliability. Our modular micro-reactors combine the best of fusion and fission to deliver scalable, deployable, and inherently safe energy anywhere.

    As a fast-growing company, AMPERA merges the agility of a startup with the ambition of a global energy leader. Joining us means becoming part of a bold mission to revolutionize how the world generates and delivers power through advanced nuclear fuel technology and materials innovation.

    Position Overview

    AMPERA is seeking an experienced TRISO Process Development Scientist to lead the research, design, and optimization of advanced TRISO fuel particle fabrication for AMPERA's compact micro-reactors. This role will focus on developing innovative fuel manufacturing processes, from kernel synthesis and coating deposition to final encapsulation and quality assurance.

    The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in nuclear fuel processing, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and high-temperature materials, along with experience translating laboratory-scale methods into scalable production processes compatible with additive manufacturing integration (Liquid Metal Jetting - LMJ).

    Key Responsibilities

    Lead R&D for the synthesis and coating of TRISO fuel particles (Th, UCO, UO2, or other kernels).

    Develop and optimize CVD processes for PyC and SiC coatings, ensuring microstructural uniformity and mechanical integrity.

    Collaborate with materials and additive manufacturing teams to integrate TRISO particle fabrication with LMJ-based fuel element production.

    Conduct thermochemical and mechanical characterization of coated particles and compacts.

    Establish process control, metrology, and quality assurance protocols for reproducible fuel fabrication.

    Design and execute experimental campaigns for irradiation testing and post-irradiation examination (PIE).

    Support safety, licensing, and regulatory documentation aligned with NRC and DOE standards.

    Work closely with multidisciplinary teams (thermal, neutronics, materials, and manufacturing) to provide validated fuel data and feedback to reactor design efforts.

    Mentor junior scientists and engineers in fuel process development and nuclear materials research.

    Qualifications

    Ph.D. or M.S. in Nuclear Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.

    7+ years of experience in nuclear fuel R&D, TRISO fuel development, or advanced ceramic coatings.

    Hands-on experience with CVD systems, high-temperature furnaces, and particle synthesis techniques.

    Familiarity with fuel qualification standards (DOE, NRC) and irradiation testing programs.

    Experience scaling laboratory processes into pilot or industrial production.

    Knowledge of additive manufacturing integration or powder metallurgy is a plus.

    Excellent documentation, analytical, and leadership skills.

    U.S. citizenship or eligibility for security clearance may be required.

    What We Offer

    Competitive salary

    Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, dental, vision, and 401(k).

    Opportunity to pioneer advanced nuclear fuel technologies driving the next generation of clean energy.

    Collaborative, mission-driven environment that fosters technical excellence and innovation.

    Career advancement potential as AMPERA expands its fuel development and reactor manufacturing programs.
