About Valar Atomics
At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
The Team
You will be joining Valar Atomics' Electrical Engineering team, embedded within the broader Fuel Manufacturing engineering group. The team delivers the electrical infrastructure that powers Valar's fuel manufacturing facilities — from utility interconnection through MV distribution, process area LV systems, and emergency power. You will work alongside I&C, mechanical, and nuclear safety engineers in a collaborative environment that demands technical precision and a strong safety culture, with the opportunity to contribute to some of the most technically interesting power distribution challenges in the advanced nuclear sector.
The Role
Valar Atomics is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design and delivery of MV/LV electrical systems for nuclear fuel manufacturing facilities. The role will contribute to electrical system design, power system studies, equipment selection, drawings, specifications, and field support while working closely with senior electrical engineers and multidisciplinary teams. This is an opportunity to work on first-of-a-kind industrial facilities and develop hands-on experience with complex electrical systems in the nuclear industry.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain electrical load lists and support power system studies including load flow, short circuit, voltage drop, motor starting, and harmonic analysis using SKM Power Tools, ETAP, or equivalent.
- Prepare arc flash hazard analysis in accordance with IEEE 1584 and substation grounding calculations in accordance with IEEE 80.
- Assist with sizing and selection of transformers, cables, switchgear, bus systems, capacitor banks, UPS systems, and batteries.
- Develop and update single line diagrams for MV and LV distribution systems from the utility interface through MCCs and final distribution equipment.
- Prepare and maintain electrical equipment layouts, cable schedules, tray routing, and underground duct bank designs.
- Support specifications and data sheets for MV switchgear, LV switchboards, MCCs, distribution panelboards, transformers, bus ducts, VFDs, UPS systems, and standby generators.
