“Through TRISO-X, I learned what working in a professional office environment means and honed the engineering skills I developed on campus. This internship experience also gave me insight into the type of engineering I want to pursue and my future career. TRISO-X was a comfortable and positive work environment where you could ask questions and learn confidently.”

Summer 2021 & Fall 2022 Intern
Towson University ‘22
"During my time as an intern, I acted in the role of a Nuclear Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Engineer. As a PRA intern at X-energy, I was able to work with a great team that took the time to help me learn the basics while also teaching me to use industry tools in advanced applications. I chose to come back to X-energy full-time because of the people I had the opportunity to meet and work with over the summer, the great location, and because I believe in what X-energy is doing."
