Director/Vice President, Nuclear Engineering

About Canadian Strategic Missions Corp. (CSMC)

Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation is building the capabilities that will shape Canada's future in space, defence, and energy. We focus on developing dual use systems that address critical challenges here on Earth while enabling sustained human activity beyond it.

In a short time, CSMC has established real momentum. WE have secured significant government investment to advance next generation micro nuclear reactors in partnership with leading institutions, alongside expanding a portfolio of technologies designed for remote environments, national defence, and future space missions. These efforts reflect a broader ambition to deliver reliable power and critical infrastructure where it matters most.

Our work is grounded in close collaboration with government and guided by a clear sense of purpose: to build sovereign capability at a time when it has never been more important. We care deeply about execution, long term impact and earning the trust required to deliver systems that will service Canada and its allies for decades.

CSMC is a company for builders. We are a group of people drawn to hard problems, meaningful impact and the opportunity to shape systems that matter at a national and global scale. We are building a team that thrives in ambiguity, values execution, and is motivated by mission and impact.

Position Overview

The Director/VP of Nuclear Engineering is a senior technical leader responsible for CSMC’s nuclear engineering strategy, reactor design activities, and engineering governance. This role provides leadership across reactor physics, thermal‑hydraulics, systems engineering, safety analysis, and regulatory readiness, while supporting early CNSC engagement and licensing strategy.

You will work directly with the CEO, COO, Chief Scientist, and EVP Engineering Emeritus, playing a central role in advancing CSMC’s microreactor technology from concept to prototype and deployment.

This is an on‑site leadership role based in Waterloo, Ontario, 5 days a week.
