Summer 2027 Internship - Architectural Engineering

About the company   General Matter enriches uranium. We are designing, building, and operating the world’s lowest-cost enrichment services, here in the US.   In the process, we are restoring America’s ability to produce nuclear fuel to power AI, advanced manufacturing and critical industries our country relies on to remain competitive.  Fuel drives the cost of advanced reactor electricity production, and enrichment drives the cost of the fuel that advanced reactors consume.  Reliable, low-cost enrichment is the catalyst for the nuclear Renaissance now under way. Our mission is to make nuclear not only the cleanest and safest source of baseload power, but also the most affordable.  We believe abundant nuclear energy will lead to a post-scarcity society.  We were incubated inside Founders Fund, like Anduril and Palantir before us, and are backed by over a dozen of the world's top venture capital firms.   Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.   We are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.  Help us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.  About the Role General Matter is seeking an Architectural Engineering Intern to join our Buildings team in Los Angeles. This role offers a unique opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers and project teams delivering large-scale industrial and nuclear infrastructure projects, including our flagship uranium enrichment facility. You will gain hands-on experience supporting integrated building systems design, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction planning for complex facilities. This role is ideal for a student or graduate who enjoys the intersection of structural, mechanical, and architectural disciplines within the AEC industry. What You’ll Do Support facility structural and mechanical design work for large-scale industrial infrastructure projects. Assist with the preparation of integrated structural and mechanical drawings and technical documentation. Collaborate closely with architectural, civil, electrical, and construction teams to ensure holistic building performance. Help coordinate complex structural and mechanical layouts within the building envelope to optimize space and functionality. Participate in engineering design reviews and project coordination meetings to track progress and resolve technical interface issues. Support high-fidelity BIM modeling using Revit to integrate multidisciplinary designs. Assist engineering teams with constructability reviews and design updates to streamline the transition from theory to field. Help address field design questions and Requests for Information (RFIs) during the construction phase when applicable. What You’ll Bring Current enrollment (Junior or Senior standing) or recent completion of a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering. Strong interest in industrial infrastructure, energy, or large-scale, high-complexity construction projects. Proficiency in Revit is required; experience with AutoCAD or other BIM/rendering tools is a plus. A multidisciplinary mindset with a foundational understanding of how structural and mechanical systems interact within a facility. Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills tailored for a fast-paced engineering environment. Interest and/or experience in visual programming (Dynamo, Grasshopper) or coding (Python) to support workflow automation. Bonus Qualifications Internship or academic project experience related to industrial building design or heavy construction. Exposure to facility planning for infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, or power-intensive sites. Interest in nuclear energy, sustainable industrial design, or critical infrastructure resilience. Familiarity with building codes and standards relevant to large-scale facility design. Additional Requirements Ability to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.   Equal Opportunity Employer General Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.
