Technical Product Engineer

Position Description

This role will be focused on leading the intake, evaluation, onboarding, and lifecycle coordination of engineering software platforms and vendor-delivered systems. We support a variety of internal “customers” and help ensure new tools are selected thoughtfully, implemented effectively, integrated into existing workflows, and managed responsibly over time. Oklo is a fast-moving startup, and we are scaling the structure around how tools are introduced and maintained without losing speed. You will have the opportunity to shape how engineering systems are researched, introduced, coordinated, and sustained across the company. A nuclear background is not required, but strong technical judgment, organizational discipline, vendor management capability, and curiosity about engineering systems are all essential in this role.

Specific responsibilities may include:

Members of the Systems Enablement team help align tooling, governance, and execution across engineering domains. In this role you might:

• Lead intake and evaluation efforts for new engineering tools, platforms, and vendor solutions.
• Gather requirements from internal stakeholders and translate them into clear evaluation criteria, implementation plans, and delivery expectations.
• Conduct technical research, facilitate demos, compare solutions, and document tradeoffs and recommendations.
• Serve as a primary coordination point with vendors during onboarding, implementation, and follow-on phases of work.
• Drive timelines, action tracking, meeting follow-ups, and cross-functional communication across multiple concurrent tool initiatives.
• Partner with Engineering Infrastructure, IT, and internal customers to ensure new systems are integrated into existing workflows and technical environments.
• Identify interoperability gaps between existing and proposed tools, including APIs, data flows, permissions, and workflow dependencies.
• Track implementation progress, surface blockers, and help coordinate internal resources needed for successful rollout and user acceptance.
• Maintain continuity across the tool lifecycle, including additional phases of work, support engagements, upgrades, and eventual decommissioning or replacement.
• Build and maintain clear status reporting for stakeholders on active tool onboarding efforts, vendor deliverables, and lifecycle health.
• Help define repeatable onboarding and platformization practices that improve consistency as the portfolio of tools grows.
