Kairos Power is a mission-driven engineering company focused on delivering clean, affordable, and safe energy through advanced reactor technology. The company specializes in the integrated design, licensing, and demonstration of a fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactor, known as KP-FHR, which aims to be cost-competitive with natural gas and offers a path to a clean energy system with a near zero carbon footprint. With a focus on innovative engineering and a mission to improve quality of life while protecting the environment, Kairos Power's advanced reactor technology is designed for high availability, performance, and safety, featuring accident-resistant fuel and low-pressure coolant. The technology supports grid resiliency and security by providing dispatchable power, reducing maintenance and lifecycle costs, and enhancing the integration with renewable energy sources.

📋 Description

• Develop, allocate, maintain, and trace technical requirements across multiple levels of product and plant architecture. • Translate program objectives, stakeholder needs, design inputs, and regulatory considerations into clear, complete, consistent, and verifiable requirements. • Perform and support functional analysis and decomposition to define required system behavior and establish traceability between functions, requirements, architecture, and verification activities. • Develop and maintain functional, logical, and physical system architectures. • Define, document, coordinate, and manage internal and external interfaces between systems, organizations, suppliers, facilities, and external partners. • Develop verification strategies, methods, plans, acceptance criteria, and evidence demonstrating requirements satisfaction. • Coordinate and facilitate multidisciplinary requirements, architecture, interface, integration, and verification reviews. • Support compliance with company procedures, codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. • Lead focused systems engineering activities and evaluate system-level impacts of proposed changes. • Support management of technical risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies throughout the engineering lifecycle. • Mentor less-experienced engineers and improve systems engineering processes, tools, templates, training, and command media. • Perform other duties as assigned.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field. • Relevant professional experience applying systems engineering methods to complex engineering programs or products. • Experience developing, allocating, maintaining, and tracing technical requirements. • Experience with functional analysis and decomposition, system architecture development, interface definition and management, system integration, requirements verification and validation, or technical change-impact assessment. • Experience coordinating technical reviews or leading focused cross-functional engineering activities. • Strong technical writing, communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. • Knowledge of systems engineering lifecycle processes and technical management practices. • Knowledge of requirements development, decomposition, allocation, traceability, verification, and validation. • Knowledge of functional, logical, and physical architecture development. • Knowledge of interface identification, definition, documentation, and control. • Knowledge of system integration, configuration management, and engineering change-control principles. • Knowledge of technical risk, assumption, issue, opportunity, and dependency management. • General knowledge of engineering design, licensing, quality, operations, and project execution within complex technical programs. • Skill in writing clear, concise, implementation-independent, and verifiable technical requirements. • Skill in performing functional analysis, architecture development, interface analysis, and change-impact assessment. • Skill in using requirements management, modeling, analysis, and documentation tools. • Ability to evaluate complex systems holistically and recognize interactions, dependencies, and unintended consequences. • Ability to work collaboratively across engineering disciplines, organizations, and levels of technical authority. • Ability to balance technical rigor with program cost, schedule, risk, and execution needs. • Ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain attention to detail in a fast-paced engineering environment. • Ability to proactively collect, organize, manage, and transfer technical knowledge. • Must be authorized by the Department of Energy to access Part 810-controlled information; certain foreign nationals require a DOE export control license. • Experience in nuclear, power generation, aerospace, defense, energy, or another highly regulated industry is preferred. • Experience using requirements management tools such as Jama Connect is preferred. • Experience with model-based systems engineering methods and tools is preferred. • Familiarity with nuclear quality, licensing, safety, or regulatory practices is preferred. • Experience supporting design reviews, trade studies, configuration management, or technical baseline management is preferred. • Familiarity with ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 or the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook is preferred.
