Lab QA Sampler

Our goal is to design, build, and operate the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services in the United States.

Our mission is to restore America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel-fuel that will power AI, advanced manufacturing, critical industries, and the next generation of nuclear reactors.

Ultimately, our work will help power national ambitions and enable a high-energy society.

Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.

Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.

As a Laboratory Technician at General Matter, you will provide critical hands‑on support to our Chemistry team as we scale uranium enrichment operations.
