Company

hirify.global is a Series C startup developing mass-producible, inherently safe microreactors for terrestrial, underwater, and space applications.

What you will do

• Design electrical systems for reactor instrumentation, control, and power distribution from concept through detailed implementation.
• Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, and interface definitions for sensors, control hardware, and electrical subsystems.
• Review schematics, wiring, harnesses, and control panel designs and participate in technical design reviews.
• Support hazard analyses by identifying electrical and instrumentation failure modes and mitigations.
• Support bench testing, HIL/HITL testing, hardware integration, and test campaigns.
• Collaborate with systems, mechanical, software, licensing, and test teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience designing, analyzing, or integrating electrical systems.
• Strong understanding of DC and AC circuits, impedance, and transient behavior.
• Ability to create, read, and review electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Familiarity with electrical design, simulation, or PCB layout tools and hands-on laboratory instrumentation.
• Ability to reason about failure modes and safe states and communicate effectively in written and verbal form.

Nice to have

• Experience in nuclear, aerospace, defense, maritime, industrial, or other regulated and safety-critical environments.
• Knowledge of fail-safe design, redundancy, voting logic, and diversity in control systems.
• Experience with hardware bring-up, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, HIL/HITL testing, automated test frameworks, or data acquisition platforms.
• Familiarity with IEEE, IEC, DOE nuclear standards, GDE-987 processes, formal design reviews, hazard analyses, or configuration-controlled documentation.
