Regulatory Compliance & Reporting:

• Prepare and submit required reports to the DOE, NRC, IAEA, and other relevant authorities.
• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and international nuclear material control regulations.
• Support regulatory inspections, audits, and performance reviews.

Security & Safeguards:

• Collaborate with security teams to implement deterrence and protective measures against theft, sabotage, or diversion.
• Develop and enforce access protocols and handling procedures for sensitive materials.
• Investigate discrepancies, losses, or potential diversion incidents and implement corrective actions.

Cross-functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams to integrate MC&A controls into facility operations.
• Communicate compliance status, risks, and corrective actions clearly to leadership and stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in Nuclear Safeguards or related technical discipline; 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience with DOE, NRC, or IAEA nuclear material safeguards programs.
• Proven ability to manage nuclear material inventory systems and reporting requirements.
• Familiarity with safeguards technologies such as non-destructive assay (NDA) and tamper-indicating devices.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills, with ability to work proactively and independently.

Benefits:

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how AI systems handle sensitive chemical and explosives information. You'll work with leading AI safety researchers while tackling critical problems in preventing catastrophic misuse. If you're excited about using your expertise to ensure AI systems remain safe and beneficial, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement evaluation methodologies for assessing AI model capabilities relevant to chemical weapons, explosives synthesis, and energetic materials
• Develop and execute strategies to identify and mitigate potential C/E misuse in model outputs
• Create C/E threat models, including precursor identification, synthesis routes, and weaponization techniques
• Review and analyze traffic to identify potential policy violations related to C/E content
• Collaborate with software engineers to develop and refine detection systems and automated enforcement tools for C/E threats
• Conduct rapid response to escalations involving dangerous C/E queries
• Collaborate across teams to establish safety benchmarks and develop appropriate model guardrails
• Translate C/E domain knowledge into actionable safety requirements
• Develop approaches to assess C/E model knowledge boundaries for dual-use chemical information
• Monitor emerging threats in the C/E landscape to inform policy development

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field with focus on energetic materials, explosives, and/or chemical weapons
• Have 5-8+ years of experience in chemical weapons and/or explosives defense, with deep expertise in energetic materials, chemical weapon agents, or related areas
• Have knowledge of high yield explosives application to radiological dispersal devices (dirty bombs) and related radiological weapons
• Have a track record of translating specialized technical knowledge into actionable safety policies or guidelines
• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and developing solutions for novel safety challenges
• Can work independently while maintaining strong collaboration with cross-functional teams including engineering, enforcement, and research
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you balance rigorous scientific standards with rapid threat response
• Are passionate about preventing misuse of dangerous technical knowledge while enabling beneficial applications

Strong candidates may have:

• Experience with both chemical weapons and high yield explosives defense
• Experience working with defense, intelligence, or nonproliferation organizations (e.g., OPCW, IAEA, national labs, defense contractors)
• Published research or practical experience in explosives characterization, chemical weapons detection, or related security applications
• Knowledge of international chemical weapons conventions (CWC) and controlled substances regulations
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-specialist audiences
• Experience with chemical databases (PubChem, Reaxys, SciFinder) and computational chemistry tools
• Understanding of radiological materials and their interaction with explosive dispersal mechanisms
• Familiarity with dual-use C/E research concerns and responsible disclosure practices

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work.
