About Valar Atomics

At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.

The Team

As part of the Manufacturing organization, the Quality/Metrology team ensures precision-machined and fabricated components meet exacting engineering and dimensional standards. The team supports rapid development, prototyping, and production through advanced inspection and measurement capabilities.

The Role

Valar Atomics is looking for a CMM Programmer to develop and run coordinate measuring machine programs using MCOSMOS with Renishaw Revo 5-axis scanning heads. You will program dimensional inspection routines for precision components used in our modular nuclear reactor systems, translating engineering drawings and CAD models into efficient, repeatable measurement strategies. This role has high ownership over inspection process and data quality, working closely with machinists, engineering, and quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop CMM inspection programs in MCOSMOS using Revo 5-axis scanning probe heads.
  • Translate CAD models, engineering drawings, and GD&T into efficient, repeatable CMM programs.
  • Select appropriate alignment strategies, probe configurations, and styli for varying part geometries.
  • Optimize scan paths and data collection strategies to balance measurement speed and accuracy.
  • Review inspection data output, flag deviations, and support root cause investigations with Manufacturing and Engineering.
  • Maintain and calibrate CMM equipment, probes, and program libraries.
  • Support first-article inspection and process validation for new parts.
  • Document programs, revisions, and calibration records per quality management procedures.

Basic Qualifications

  • 5+ years of CMM programming experience in a manufacturing, aerospace, or precision machining environment.
  • Proficiency with Mitutoyo MCOSMOS software for CMM programming.
  • Hands-on experience with Renishaw Revo 5-axis scanning probe heads or similar 5-axis CMM probe systems.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret GD&T, engineering drawings, and CAD models.
  • Solid understanding of CMM fundamentals: alignment strategy, datum structures, and probe calibration.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup manufacturing environment with evolving processes.
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with machinists and engineering.

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Experience with additional metrology software (PC-DMIS, Calypso, or similar).
  • Experience programming complex/organic surfaces or turbine/aerospace geometries.
  • ASQ Certified Quality Technician (CQT) or equivalent certification.
  • Experience in nuclear, aerospace, or other highly regulated quality environments.

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary
  • Equity ownership in a rapidly growing advanced energy company
  • Comprehensive medical benefits
  • Free daily lunch and dinner provided onsite
  • Generous PPE stipend
  • High-impact startup environment with significant ownership and autonomy
  • Opportunities for rapid career growth and internal advancement
  • Direct collaboration with experienced operators, engineers, and industry leaders
  • The opportunity to help build and scale transformative energy technology from the ground up

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
