Join us at Copenhagen Atomics as we finish building a functioning thorium molten salt reactor.

Copenhagen Atomics has invented a new form of nuclear reactor, which is significantly more efficient than any previous nuclear reactors. This will be a game changer for the global energy sector. Our reactors will be able to provide energy at lower cost than any other technology (including fusion).

As a company, we value curiosity, flexibility, being self-driven, yet able to collaborate, and the possibility to grow as a person and professional.

Department:

Copenhagen Atomics is looking to recruit several hands-on Engineers for various departments, including our pumped molten salt systems and lithium separation team and our fuel salt production team. Regardless of the team, you will join a group of highly talented and motivated colleagues, who will help you settle into our ways of working.

With a background as either Marine Engineer, Mechanical Engineer or Mechatronics Engineer, you will play an important role in developing all the sub-systems for our molten salt reactors. In our workshop, you will be developing our sub-systems, which involves everything from furnaces, water cooling, freezers, ventilation and control systems. Most importantly is that you can think independently, out of the box, and that you possess extraordinary hands-on skills.

You’ll play an important role in:

  • Improving and repairing machines and equipment
  • Working hands-on with various tools
  • Keep developing and re-thinking our ways of working
  • Collaborating with a world-class team on molten salt technology

To succeed in the role, you:

  • Hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering or a related field, with 0-5 years of relevant experience.
  • Have solid practical experience from work or private projects is a plus
  • Have ideally experience from a similar environment, where testing and a hands-on approach have been an integral part of your job
  • Are willing to develop yourself as a professional as other projects and areas of expertise will be required as Copenhagen Atomics grows

Additional information & Next Step:

Innovation is at the forefront of our culture and drives us to achieve our goals. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technologies with the potential to make a significant impact on the world.

Based in Copenhagen, we are an international team of over 65 engineers, technicians, designers, and more who are in the process of developing a new, low-cost, abundant, sustainable, and safe nuclear technology to be manufactured on assembly lines in the future.
