TITLE: Product Manager, Configuration Management Information System
LOCATION: Bellevue, WA
TerraPower is a nuclear technology company based in Bellevue, Washington. At its core, the company is working to raise living standards globally through a more affordable, secure and environmentally friendly form of nuclear energy along with innovations in medical isotopes to improve human health. In 2006, TerraPower originated with Bill Gates and a group of like-minded visionaries who evaluated the fundamental challenges to raising living standards around the world. They recognized energy access was crucial to the health and economic well-being of communities and decided that the private sector needed to take action and create energy sources that would advance global energy deployment. TerraPower's mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. As a result, the company's activities in the fields of nuclear energy and related sciences are yielding significant innovations in the safety and economics of nuclear power, hybrid energy and medical applications - all for significant human health benefits.
TerraPower is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced nuclear reactor research and development and influencing change within the nuclear power landscape and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes.
Product Manager, Configuration Management Information System
We're looking for a highly motivated Product Manager to coordinate the ongoing development, enhancement, maintenance, and support of our internal nuclear reactor data and configuration management information system (CMIS), called Atom. This tool is a key part of our plan to improve the world's ability to deliver data-heavy nuclear power construction projects on time and budget. It manages a project-specific data model linking the plant safety functions, plant requirements, plant design definition, scientific analyses, documentation, tests, open items, glossary terms, formal decisions, and more. It acts as an integrated access point across the project to help coordinate, organize, and manage design and construction efforts. It facilitates workflows that implement project procedures, assisting users in efficiently achieving procedure compliance.
This role will really become the focal point of what the Atom system is and becomes. We are seeking people highly interested in advancing the state of the art in nuclear configuration management.
This role work with the internal user base of managers, engineers, and support staff to collect and manage development priorities, and work with the software developer team to triage and manage specific tasks implementing those priorities. Additionally, this role will help spread and maintain awareness of the system's vision, capabilities, potential, and limitations.
The role will require constant interaction with the stakeholders of a nuclear design project. The product is also governed by strict NQA-1 quality assurance requirements and change management processes. Thus, we are looking for people experienced in the details of megaprojects (ideally nuclear) and also excited about how custom software systems can bring new levels of productivity to the related challenges. TerraPower is an equal opportunity employer.
Responsibilities:
Meet with internal users of the tool and establish consensus on development priorities given competing requests and needs,
Define and manage the overall product roadmap and milestones based on evolving needs,
Identify cross-cutting features developing synergy between procedural compliance and work efficiency,
Coordinate requirements-gathering sessions and ensure each key need is integrated into the project schedule with logic ties,
Chair the change control board meetings,
