Quality Assurance Engineer

About PolyEnergetics

Climate change is a global challenge affecting every human and every ecosystem. Solving it requires clean, scalable, and deeply reliable energy systems. Nuclear fission is one of the worlds most powerful pathways to deep decarbonization, but unlocking its full potential demands tools and technologies that significantly elevate safety, accuracy, and operator preparedness.

At PolyEnergetics, our long-term vision is to build safer and more efficient nuclear fission reactors using AI. The pathway to that future begins with AI copilots, immersive operator training, and high-fidelity digital twins systems that enhance situational awareness, reduce human error, and make complex reactor behavior more predictable and transparent.
