Natrium Director of Configuration Management and Technical Data Management

TerraPower is seeking a Director of Configuration Management (CM) and Technical Data Management (TDM) to lead Natrium’s CM/TDM strategy and execution across multiple project configurations and the standard plant design. Reporting to the Director of Engineering Strategy and Integration, this role owns configuration control, configuration structures and naming, and the technical data lifecycle that underpins Natrium’s design‑control rigor and execution. The position ensures CM/TDM alignment with ASME NQA‑1 Requirement III through collaboration with QA and Design Authority. Senior Managers reporting to this role oversee Configuration Management and Technical Data Management.

As TerraPower rapidly scales and Natrium accelerates toward major design, licensing, and construction milestones, this is a high‑impact opportunity to shape how engineering information flows, how teams align, and how first‑of‑a‑kind nuclear technology is delivered across a portfolio of projects.

This role requires on‑site presence four days per week.

Key Responsibilities:

Own Natrium’s configuration‑control processes and support alignment of CM/TDM deliverables with NQA‑1 Requirement III in collaboration with QA and Design Authority.
Architect and evolve Natrium’s configuration‑management structures and naming conventions, and guide CM/TDM standards and continuous-improvement activities, while Senior Managers oversee day‑to‑day CM and TDM execution.
Ensure configuration baselines and change‑control records align with design‑control expectations across CMIS, EDMS, and records workflows.
Partner with QA, Design Authority, Licensing, and Program/Project Engineering to specify and verify CM/TDM requirements in program deliverables and reviews supporting ASME NQA‑1 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B compliance.
Define CM/TDM expectations to support construction, commissioning, and operations, with execution owned by project, EPC, and operations teams.
Set and maintain the CM/TDM interfaces with document‑control and QA/Design Authority design‑control expectations, with Senior Managers coordinating implementation across TerraPower, EPCs, suppliers, and partners.
Drive data-driven improvement in CM/TDM using Condition Report data, rework data, and process-adherence insights.
