Programmer Developer (Manufacturing)

About Valar Atomics Valar Atomics is an advanced nuclear energy company building the next generation of scalable, reliable power through small modular reactors (SMRs). The company is focused on accelerating the deployment of nuclear energy by pairing innovative reactor design with a deeply practical, manufacturing-first approach. Rather than designing in isolation, Valar works backward from real-world constraints like supply chain, production, and deployment, ensuring its systems can be built, scaled, and delivered efficiently. This philosophy emphasizes simplicity, reliability, and speed, enabling the company to move quickly in bringing new energy solutions to market. Valar is currently in a rapid growth phase, expanding its team and capabilities while advancing both reactor development and production infrastructure. The work is highly cross‑functional, spanning engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations, with a strong emphasis on execution and coordination. By combining technical innovation with disciplined industrialization, Valar Atomics aims to make clean, dependable nuclear energy more accessible at scale.
