Pod Factory Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Aalo Atomics is pioneering a new era in clean energy with factory-fabricated microreactors designed to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. Our mission is to make nuclear energy globally accessible, starting with the Aalo-1, a 10 MWe reactor leveraging cutting‑edge safety, modularity, and efficiency. Based in Austin, TX, we’re rapidly growing as we work to deploy the world’s first fleet of advanced microreactors. Join us and help revolutionize energy for a sustainable future.

Most manufacturing companies end up with disconnected software: one system for engineering, one for manufacturing, one for quality, one for procurement, one for logistics, and a large amount of human effort stitching the gaps together.

Aalo cannot scale that way. We are trying to compress the path from customer need to deployed Aalo Pod, and that requires software and AI systems that connect engineering intent, supply chain, factory execution, quality evidence, delivery documentation, and operational feedback.

In this role, you will build the factory software layer that helps make that possible. The near‑term work includes practical systems like machine shop interfaces, manufacturing workflows, integrations, inspection capture, and as‑built traceability. The long‑term work is larger: helping Aalo build an internal enterprise software system that lets manufacturing improve continuously as the company scales.

If successful, this role gives Manufacturing dedicated software capacity while keeping the architecture integrated with the rest of Aalo’s AI and internal software platform. It reduces manual handoffs, improves traceability, makes factory work easier to execute, and creates the data foundation for better engineering and manufacturing decisions over time.

You will be helping build that system from the inside.

We’re hiring an AI Solutions Engineer - Manufacturing to build the internal software systems that help Aalo manufacture reactors faster, safer, and with better traceability.

At Aalo, AI and software are becoming part of the operating system of the company. This role focuses on manufacturing: the factory workflows, integrations, interfaces, data capture, and AI‑enabled tools that connect engineering intent to real production work on the floor.

This role reports into Aalo’s AI and internal software team for technical management, architecture, and platform consistency, while being embedded with and accountable to Manufacturing. The purpose of that structure is deliberate: manufacturing needs dedicated software capacity, and the resulting systems need to integrate cleanly with the broader enterprise architecture rather than becoming another isolated tool.

You will work closely with manufacturing engineering, machinists, quality, supply chain, logistics, engineering, and the broader AI team to turn real factory workflows into production software. Your job is to understand how work actually happens, build systems that operators trust, and make sure manufacturing software is not an afterthought.

This is a forward‑deployed software and systems engineering role with strong manufacturing workflow, integration, productization, and AI‑native development responsibilities.

• Capture production data in ways that support manufacturing execution today and engineering optimization, digital twins, and fleet‑scale learning over time
• Work closely with platform engineers to reuse shared AI infrastructure rather than building isolated one‑off systems
• Own meaningful factory software outcomes rather than acting only as a service desk for ad‑hoc manufacturing requests
• Help define how Aalo builds in‑house enterprise software for a manufacturing company whose systems must span engineering, supply chain, production, quality, logistics, testing, maintenance, and delivery

• You can design systems with clear data models, APIs, service boundaries, integration patterns, and permission models
• You write clear, maintainable code and can judge whether generated code is correct, secure, scalable, and maintainable
• You understand the difference between a useful prototype and a production system that real operators can rely on
• You know how to keep workflow software simple without creating fragile architecture or disconnected data silos

• You are motivated by software that changes how physical work gets done, not just software that looks good in a demo
• You are comfortable learning from machinists, manufacturing engineers, quality teams, inventory teams, and operators
• You care about traceability, revision control, as‑built records, material flow, inspection evidence, and operational handoffs
• You can work from messy reality: incomplete systems, manual workarounds, vendor constraints, edge cases, and urgent production needs

• You are comfortable taking incomplete requirements, rough workflows, or painful manual processes and turning them into working systems
• You handle integrations, stakeholder feedback, production issues, and edge cases without losing momentum
• You care about adoption and operational value, not just technical novelty
• You can stay focused on factory software priorities while still integrating with the broader company‑wide AI and software platform
