About AMPERA

AMPERA is redefining clean, sovereign 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 from AI data centers to remote or defense operations.
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 thorium fuel chemistry, nuclear metallurgy, and next-generation materials science.
Position Overview

AMPERA is seeking a Chemical Engineer with deep expertise in thorium metallurgy, fuel chemistry, and chemical process engineering to lead the development of AMPERAs thorium-based fuel cycle. This role will focus on the synthesis, purification, and metallurgical processing of thorium and associated fuel compounds for use in hybrid fission-fusion micro-reactors.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in molten salt chemistry, actinide metallurgy, fuel reprocessing, and high-temperature chemical systems, as well as familiarity with nuclear-grade material qualification and safety standards.
Key Responsibilities

  • Lead thorium and actinide chemistry R&D, including oxide reduction, alloy formation, and purification processes.
  • Develop and optimize metallurgical processes for thorium-based fuels and structural materials under inert and reducing atmospheres.
  • Design and operate experimental setups involving high-temperature furnaces, glove boxes, and corrosion-resistant systems.
  • Characterize chemical and physical properties of thorium compounds (e.g., ThO, ThF, Th-U alloys) using analytical and spectroscopic methods.
  • Collaborate with fuel development and materials teams to integrate thorium fuels with TRISO and LMJ-based fabrication systems.
  • Perform thermodynamic and kinetic modeling to support process scale-up and reactor integration.
  • Ensure compliance with environmental, health, and radiological safety standards (DOE, NRC, EPA).
  • Document and present research results, contributing to fuel qualification and licensing efforts.
  • Mentor junior engineers and support cross-functional collaboration between chemical, materials, and reactor teams.

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or Nuclear Chemistry.
  • 7+ years of experience in thorium or actinide chemistry, nuclear materials processing, or metallurgical R&D.
  • Strong knowledge of high-temperature thermochemistry, reduction processes, and alloy formation.
  • Experience with molten salt systems, fuel reprocessing, or metal refining preferred.
  • Familiarity with radiation safety protocols, glove box handling, and contamination control.
  • Excellent analytical, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
  • U.S. citizenship or eligibility for security clearance may be required.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Life/AD&D 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.
