• Kit builds: pull hardware and materials, label components, and maintain build travelers
• Handle parts procurement: source COTS hardware and materials, request quotes, place orders, and track deliveries
• Receive and inspect incoming parts; verify dimensions and finish against drawings; escalate nonconformance issues
• Manage inventory of consumables, fasteners, gases, and tooling; keep bins stocked and labeled
• Create and update build documentation: redlines, as-built notes, BOM updates, and simple work instructions
• Coordinate with prototype engineers and vendors for quick-turn machining, welding, coatings, and other services
• Uphold quality standards and dimensional control using calipers, micrometers, gauges where applicable 

Minimum Qualifications:

• High school diploma
• 3+ years hands-on mechanical fabrication/assembly experience or equivalent training/portfolio (trade school, military, etc.)
• Proficient with basic shop operations: cut/drill/tap/; confident using common hand/power tools safely
• Can read mechanical drawings and build notes; understands basic tolerances and fit; uses calipers/mics/gauges accurately
• Familiar with shop safety, PPE, and housekeeping (5S); aware of machine guarding and LOTO basics
• Comfortable setting up simple test rigs and recording data in spreadsheets; willing to learn instrumentation/DAQ
• Basic computer skills: spreadsheets/docs, file management; ability to use CAD viewers

• Able to lift up to ~50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform shop/fab tasks with or without reasonable accommodation
• Willing to support occasional off-hours work or local field/onsite deployments as needed
• Valid driver’s license

Bonus Qualifications:

• AA/BS in manufacturing/industrial tech, engineering technology, or similar
• Prior experience in a prototype/R&D “special projects” or skunkworks environment
• Manual and CNC machining (mill/lathe); basic CAM (Fusion 360, Mastercam) and workholding experience
• Sheet metal, tube bending, and fabrication (laser/waterjet, press brake, fixture design)
• Test & instrumentation depth: strain gauges, load cells, thermocouples, pressure transducers; NI/LabVIEW or equivalent DAQ
• Basic electrical/controls: wiring panels to schematics, relays/sensors, PLC familiarity, safe low-voltage practices
• Materials know-how: heat treat, coatings/plating, adhesives, composites, plastics
• Additive manufacturing (FDM/SLA/SLS) for quick-turn jigs and fixtures
• Quality systems exposure (ISO 9001/AS9100)
• Rigging & material handling: forklift/overhead crane experience; basic load calculation

Competencies

We are looking for an Engineering Technician that is:

• Mechanical aptitude & print literacy: read sketches/CAD, familiarity with basic tolerancing (GD&T a plus)
• Fabrication fundamentals: cut/drill/tap, fasteners and thread standards, basic hand and power tool use

Who you are:

A startup person: You aren't driven by titles or hierarchy, and prefer efficiency to excess process. You don't need or expect to have a lot of guidance but you enjoy working in a fast-paced team. If you prefer the culture and feel of a large organization, that is great, but you likely won’t enjoy working with us! There is plenty of important work and plenty of good opportunities with organizations like that.

Motivated: You are self-motivated. You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out. This isn’t about a fake or arbitrary “pieces of flair” mentality or lack of work-life balance! It is about being a part of the vision and feeling a part of reaching team goals.

A team-player: Oklo genuinely is a team. We aren’t about taking credit for ourselves, and we aren’t about pushing blame to others. We do incredible things because we work as a team.

An excellent communicator: We need a person who is not only technically competent but also a clear and upbeat communicator.

Creative: Being creative means that when things fall outside clear scopes or processes or problems arise without clear solutions, you are able to identify it as well as invent ways to solve a problem or fill a need without micromanagement. The successful person in this job will not only be creative, but also enjoy being creative and solving open-ended problems which may change day-by-day.

Detail-oriented: This focus is a big part of excellence, consistency, and quality. Excellent grammar and spelling matter for both good communication as well as the image of the company that we put forward.
