About AMPERA


AMPERA is a pioneering clean-energy venture developing micro-scale Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) designed to deliver safe, efficient, and autonomous nuclear power for a sustainable future. Our mission is to accelerate the global transition to clean, sovereign energy through advanced reactor design, scalable manufacturing, and intelligent system integration.


Position Overview
We are seeking a Grants & Proposal Writer with a strong engineering foundation—preferably in nuclear, mechanical, or materials science—to join our Research & Development team. This individual will be instrumental in securing funding to advance our reactor technologies and associated systems.


The ideal candidate will possess both technical and creative fluency: capable of understanding complex engineering concepts, collaborating effectively with scientists and engineers, and crafting compelling, compliant proposals for government and private funding agencies.


Key Responsibilities
  • Research and identify grant, funding, and partnership opportunities aligned with AMPERA’s mission and R&D roadmap.
  • Develop and write comprehensive proposals, technical narratives, white papers, and Statements of Work (SOWs) for federal, state, and commercial solicitations.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and executive leadership to collect technical data, cost estimates, and project details.
  • Translate complex engineering and nuclear-technology concepts into clear, persuasive language for diverse audiences.
  • Ensure all proposals meet compliance, formatting, and submission requirements for agencies such as DOE, ARPA-E, DoD, and NSF.
  • Maintain a centralized proposal library with templates, boilerplate language, and institutional data.
  • Support post-award documentation, progress reports, and communication with funding agencies.
  • Track and analyze proposal outcomes, deadlines, and submission trends to support internal planning and forecasting.

Qualifications
  • Master’s degree (or higher) in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience in proposal or grant writing within energy, defense, or advanced technology sectors.
  • Proven ability to interpret and communicate complex engineering or scientific material.
  • Experience preparing proposals for DOE, DoD, NSF, or similar agencies.
  • Proficiency with grant submission systems such as Grants.gov, NSF FastLane, or SAM.gov.
  • Strong understanding of technical documentation, budgeting, and compliance.
  • Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and communication skills.
  • Experience in nuclear energy, advanced manufacturing, or clean technology is highly desirable.

What We Offer


  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Life/AD&D and 401(k).
  • Opportunity to pioneer advanced nuclear fuel technologies driving the next generation of clean energy.
  • Collaborative, mission-driven environment that fosters technical excellence and innovation.
  • Career advancement potential as AMPERA expands its fuel development and reactor manufacturing programs.
