Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will build new features and modules within the Nuclear Operating System, including AI-powered tools and data integrations. Additionally, you will develop automated testing infrastructure and convert prototypes into production-grade software for field deployment.
Candidates must be currently enrolled in a technical degree program and possess strong programming fundamentals in at least one modern language. You must be a U.S. Person and be able to work on-site in Washington DC for the full six-month term.
The Nuclear Company is the fastest growing AI tech-startup in the nuclear and energy space, pioneering a fleet-scale approach to building the next generation of nuclear reactors. Through our design-once, build-many model, we're accelerating the deployment of safe, reliable, and affordable nuclear energy.
We operate with an AI-first mindset. Every employee is expected to leverage AI, technology, and the Nuclear Operating System (NOS) as integral components of their role to improve the quality, speed, and impact of their work. We expect every team member to continuously identify opportunities to automate workflows, enhance decision-making, improve processes, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of NOS as a strategic operating capability that enables The Nuclear Company to scale with excellence.
We hire people who are driven by purpose, thrive in ambiguity, and are energized by building what has never been built before. Our team combines intellectual curiosity with high agency, embraces candid feedback and continuous learning, and holds themselves and others to exceptional standards. Our values—Trust, Responsibility, Unity, Scrappiness, and Tenacity—guide how we hire, collaborate, and make decisions every day. They are not words on a wall; they are the standard by which we operate. Trust is the foundation of our safety culture, fostering intellectual honesty, accountability, and open communication, while our values challenge every team member to execute with urgency, humility, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to our mission.
About the role
The United States is building nuclear power again, and The Nuclear Company is writing the software that makes it possible. NOS, the Nuclear Operating System, runs the regulatory, supply chain, cost, schedule, and field work behind real reactor construction. The work matters for national security, energy independence, and the climate.
You will build software that people use to build power plants. As a Software Engineering Intern, you take real scope on NOS across one of our engineering squads (product, platform, or data), and increasingly that means AI-powered software: LLM- and agent-backed features, retrieval, and tool-calling in the tools our teams use. You work next to full-time engineers and nuclear experts, ship real features to production, and see your work put to use by the teams building plants.
This is a six-month co-op available in the Spring 2027 (January to June), aligned to the academic calendar. Base location is Washington DC, on-site five days a week, with full housing and relocation for co-ops outside the DC metro area.
