Last Energy

Austin, TX, USA
Posted on Mar 12, 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:

  • 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
