Fire Protection Engineer

• Define, build, and maintain a fire protection program, from technical basis documentation to inspection strategies and program implementation.
• Provide technical leadership for post-fire safe shutdown analysis and fire hazards analysis (FHA), coordinating internal resources and external consultants as needed to ensure timely and high-quality outputs.
• Integrate understanding of sodium fire hazards into design basis events and mitigation strategies. Influence system architecture, material choices, and suppression methods with sodium specific fire behavior in mind.
• Work across multiple engineering disciplines to embed fire protection into physical layout, equipment design, operations planning, and accident scenarios ensuring practical, efficient, and regulatory sound solutions.

This role contributes to making advanced fission a safe, scalable, and deployable reality by ensuring fire protection in advanced reactor design, supporting clean energy development.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, or a related field.
• Experience performing post-fire safe shutdown and fire hazards analyses in complex, safety-critical systems and developing or implementing fire protection programs within industrial, energy, or nuclear environments.
• Familiarity with sodium fire hazards and mitigation strategies.
• Working knowledge of relevant codes and standards: NFPA, applicable ASME, and nuclear-specific fire safety regulations.

Salary: $100,000-$160,000. Oklo offers flexible time off, equity, competitive pay, 401k, health insurance, FSA, flexible work hours, and other benefits.
