About Valar Atomics

At Valar Atomics, we're redefining what's possible in energy. Our mission is to make clean, high-temperature nuclear power scalable—unlocking abundant energy for industry, hydrogen, and next-generation manufacturing. We are a team of builders, engineers, and operators who believe nuclear energy should be fast to deploy, factory-made, and built for the real world. Our first pilot plant in Orangeville, Utah will demonstrate how advanced nuclear systems and fuel fabrication can power the future. Joining Valar Atomics means becoming part of a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.

The Team

As part of the Regulations & Safety organization, Quality Assurance establishes the systems and standards that ensure products and processes consistently meet the highest levels of quality and compliance. The team promotes continuous improvement and operational excellence across the company.

The Role

The Production Quality Administrator exists to keep quality execution on the production floor organized, traceable, and closed out completely. This role works directly within the Production Quality organization, supporting Production Quality Supervisors and Engineers by ensuring that records, nonconformances, CAPAs, and cross-functional follow-up items connected to production execution are captured accurately, progressed on time, and never lost in the shuffle of a fast-moving manufacturing environment. This is not an inspection role, a technician role, or a quality engineering role. It is a production-floor execution and system-integrity role focused specifically on the records and workflows generated by production quality activities. Production execution at Valar moves quickly, with evolving work instructions, distributed verification, and aggressive build schedules. This role sits within the Torrance manufacturing and fuel fabrication environment, supporting Production Quality Supervisors and Engineers directly on the production floor. The challenge is not defining what production quality requires—it is ensuring that what is supposed to happen on the floor, what actually happens, and what can be proven all line up, without slowing production down.

Key Responsibilities

Operate directly alongside production quality personnel on the floor
Maintain traceability, documentation, and execution discipline for production records
Drive production-related nonconformances, CAPAs, and quality actions to closure
Coordinate follow-up across Production, Operations Quality, and Engineering without creating bottlenecks
Maintain and verify build records, material traceability, and process verification documentation generated during production.
Ensure required documentation and objective evidence for production activities exists, is accurate, and is retrievable.
Process production-related nonconformances, including documentation, classification, and assignment.
Track CAPAs tied to production execution through to closure, confirming actions are completed and evidence is captured.
Work directly with Production Quality Supervisors, Quality Engineers, Operations, and Engineering to ensure production quality requirements are understood, executed, and documented.
Follow through across teams until production quality issues are fully resolved.
Ensure production quality issues are clearly documented, properly classified, and progressed.
Drive issues to closure, confirming outcomes are verified before records are closed out.
Support internal and external audits touching production by preparing records, verifying completeness, and coordinating responses.
Ensure production-related audit findings are tracked, addressed, and closed.
Identify recurring gaps or inefficiencies in production quality workflows.
Provide feedback to Production Quality Supervisors/Engineers, the QMS Architect, and CI/OPEX to improve system performance.

Basic Qualifications

Strong ability to organize, track, and follow through on open items without losing sight of the bigger system.
