Students learn to solve basic equations using phasors, vector notations and basic trigonometry and analyze DC and AC circuits. They also learn how to operate electrical equipment using controllers, and how to properly test, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electrical circuits, motors and other related electrical equipment. From there, MMNs move on to Naval Nuclear Power School (NNPS), also in Charleston, SC. Here they learn theory and practical application of nuclear physics and reactor engineering. The six-month course provides a comprehensive understanding of a pressurized-water Naval nuclear power plant, including reactor core nuclear principles, heat transfer and fluid systems, plant chemistry and materials, mechanical and electrical systems, and radiological control. Following NNPS, MMNs begin prototype training in their rating specialty at one of two Nuclear Power Training Units (NPTUs) - located in Charleston, SC, and Ballston Spa, NY. This six-month course teaches the fundamentals of a Naval nuclear power plant and the interrelationship of its mechanical, electrical, and reactor subsystems. Students develop oral communications skills, obtain an understanding of nuclear radiation, and gain knowledge of the safe operation of a complex Naval nuclear power plant. In Nuclear Operations, promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance. Post-Service Opportunities It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector. Education Opportunities Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training for a Machinist's Mate Nuclear can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education. You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Qualifications & Requirements A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to become an Enlisted Sailor and Machinist's Mate Nuclear in the Navy. Those seeking a role as a Machinist's Mate Nuclear must be U.S. citizens with successful completion of one year of Algebra, and who can meet eligibility requirements for a security clearance. General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've never served before.

    Machine Learning Engineer - Applied AI Systems San Francisco, CA - On-site $170k-$250k + equity A venture-backed AI company is expanding its engineering group and looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help push forward a new generation of decision-support products used in complex, data-heavy environments. The team builds systems that analyse large, unstructured datasets and surface insights that help organisations make high-stakes choices more consistently. You'll join a small group of engineers and researchers working on applied ML problems that combine pattern recognition, anomaly detection, language modelling and real-time data interpretation. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll prototype, train, evaluate and productionise models that directly shape the product experience. What you'll work on Designing and implementing ML pipelines for processing a wide variety of semi-structured inputs. Training and adapting large language models to handle classification, extraction and reasoning tasks. Developing methods to identify irregularities, inconsistencies and unusual patterns within customer-supplied data. Improving the performance, latency and reliability of deployed models at scale. Collaborating with software engineers to integrate new capabilities into customer-facing features. Exploring new approaches in multimodal modelling, retrieval-augmented generation and adaptive learning systems. Who you might be Someone with professional experience in ML engineering, data science, applied research or similar. Confident programming in Python and fluent with at least one modern deep learning toolkit. Comfortable working with messy, real-world data rather than clean academic datasets. Experience with information extraction, language models, anomaly detection or data quality modelling is valuable. Interested in joining a company where the ML team has genuine influence over product direction. Enjoys experimentation, iteration and solving problems that don't have an obvious starting point. (No strict requirement on years - strength of experience matters more than time served.) Why this is different You'll work on technically challenging problems where accuracy genuinely matters. The company is scaling quickly and investing heavily in expanding its AI group. You'll collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership, not sit in a research silo. The environment is fast-moving, with opportunities to own projects end-to-end. Generous salary, equity and benefits package. Location & Work Style On-site in San Francisco to support a highly collaborative engineering culture. Hybrid flexibility may be available for senior hires already living in the Bay Area.
