Project Engineer

Last Energy
Austin, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 4/19/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/19/2026

Last Energy is productizing a micro-modular nuclear plant and transforming the manufacturing process with the goal of delivering hundreds of installations per year by the end of the decade.


Our organizational structure allows for "Swiss-Army knife contributors" who have the ability to fulfill various roles depending on the project type, their interest, expertise, and availability. 


These functional divisions include: 

(A) project owner, (B) subject matter expert / advisor, (C) individual contributor / design engineer, (D) research analyst or (E) external relationship manager.


The role of Project Engineer is ideal for a mid-career candidate who may be interested in some project management or have some outward facing responsibilities but still stay involved in design engineering and may be feeling pigeon-holed or up against a ceiling at their current role.


We look for:

• Insatiable appetite for learning

• Strong teamwork and communication skills

• Creativity and willingness to take on new challenges 

• Extreme flexibility and open to "kill their darlings"

• Discipline, thoroughness, and extreme focus when needed


If this sounds like you, we'd love to chat!
