About The Position

Join us in pioneering the next generation of nuclear reactors! As part of the Systems Enablement team, you will help evaluate, onboard, integrate, and manage the engineering tools and platforms that enable teams across Oklo to design, simulate, and deliver advanced fission power technology. You will work at the forefront of the nuclear industry, helping ensure our internal tool ecosystem is scalable, connected, and aligned to the needs of a rapidly growing engineering organization. Come be a part of powering the future with advanced fission power plants to provide clean, reliable, affordable energy. This role will be focused on leading the intake, evaluation, onboarding, and lifecycle coordination of engineering software platforms and vendor-delivered systems. We support a variety of internal “customers” and help ensure new tools are selected thoughtfully, implemented effectively, integrated into existing workflows, and managed responsibly over time. Oklo is a fast-moving startup, and we are scaling the structure around how tools are introduced and maintained without losing speed. You will have the opportunity to shape how engineering systems are researched, introduced, coordinated, and sustained across the company. A nuclear background is not required, but strong technical judgment, organizational discipline, vendor management capability, and curiosity about engineering systems are all essential in this role.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent industry experience.
5+ years of experience in technical product management, solutions engineering, systems engineering, technical program delivery, engineering operations, or a similar cross-functional technical role.
Experience working directly with software vendors, implementation partners, or third-party technical platforms.
Strong technical understanding of software systems, integrations, APIs, permissions models, and enterprise tooling environments.
Experience coordinating complex multi-stakeholder technical efforts across internal teams and external partners.
Experience translating ambiguous business or engineering needs into structured plans, requirements, and next steps.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, vendors, and leadership.
Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and building structure where none exists.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience with our stack and tools is helpful, but not required:
Experience supporting onboarding or lifecycle management of engineering, simulation, CAD, PLM, or other technical business systems.
Experience with GitLab, Jira, Confluence, or related engineering workflow and project tracking systems.
Experience working in regulated, compliance-driven, or high-rigor engineering environments.
Experience coordinating user acceptance testing, rollout planning, or change enablement for technical systems.
Experience identifying or implementing integrations across SaaS platforms, internal tooling, or vendor-hosted systems.
Experience supporting internal platform strategy, systems rationalization, or portfolio-level tool governance.
Experience building status dashboards, implementation trackers, or structured reporting for technical programs.

Responsibilities

Lead intake and evaluation efforts for new engineering tools, platforms, and vendor solutions.
Gather requirements from internal stakeholders and translate them into clear evaluation criteria, implementation plans, and delivery expectations.
Conduct technical research, facilitate demos, compare solutions, and document tradeoffs and recommendations.
Serve as a primary coordination point with vendors during onboarding, implementation, and follow-on phases of work.
Drive timelines, action tracking, meeting follow-ups, and cross-functional communication across multiple concurrent tool initiatives.
Partner with Engineering Infrastructure, IT, and internal customers to ensure new systems are integrated into existing workflows and technical environments.
Identify interoperability gaps between existing and proposed tools, including APIs, data flows, permissions, and workflow dependencies.
Track implementation progress, surface blockers, and help coordinate internal resources needed for successful rollout and user acceptance.
Maintain continuity across the tool lifecycle, including additional phases of work, support engagements, upgrades, and eventual decommissioning or replacement.
Build and maintain clear status reporting for stakeholders on active tool onboarding efforts, vendor deliverables, and lifecycle health.
Help define repeatable onboarding and platformization practices that improve consistency as the portfolio of tools grows.
