^{"10x Your Engineering Iteration Speed"}

‍

^TL;DR:

• ^{Nuclear Software is the first Continuous Integration platform for engineering simulations, built for nuclear, mechanical, and aerospace engineering to automate design validation and accelerate development cycles.}
• ^{It connects CAD models directly to simulation tools—neutronics, CFD, structural analysis, thermal simulations, and more—automatically handling geometry conversions and meshing to eliminate manual data preparation.}
• ^{Every design change triggers automated simulations through a unified pipeline, ensuring real-time validation, version control, and traceability, all while maintaining rigorous security and compliance standards.}

‍Founded by Emanuel Gordis & Javi Vega

Emanuel (CEO) was the youngest NRC-licensed reactor operator in the US at 18 years old. He experienced the pain of running engineering simulations inventing a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulation technique at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and publishing quantum physics research with Princeton MAE. He also built GovCloud infrastructure at AWS.

Javi (CTO) was a software engineer building machine learning assisted tooling at Google Maps and while at Cornell wrote his thesis on the relationship between economic growth and technology development.

The Problem

The team is solving “The 50 PhD Problem.” Engineering teams of experts building complex systems like nuclear reactors, rockets, and planes spend up to 50% of their time on manual data prep and switching between disconnected tools. Because their work is deeply interconnected, a change in one part affects many others, creating bottlenecks and costly mistakes. Tracking versions and ensuring security is messy and time-consuming, especially as projects scale. These inefficiencies slow down progress and make it harder to bring reliable products to market quickly.

Starting a hard tech company today is like starting a software company before DevOps tools like Gitlab or Vercel existed. In software, automated testing and deployment are standard, making it easier to move fast and iterate. Right now, established engineering companies spend millions each year maintaining custom simulation infrastructure, while engineers spend half their time manually wrangling meshes and time series data instead of building their products.

They are helping bring manufacturing back to America by making it as easy to build nuclear reactors as it is to start a software company.

Their Solution

Nuclear Software is the first continuous integration platform built specifically for engineering simulations, designed for complex industries like nuclear, aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. Just like Gitlab transformed software development, Nuclear Software automates the most time-consuming parts of engineering simulations like geometry conversions, meshing, and workflow management. This allows engineers to focus on building better products instead of getting bogged down by repetitive tasks.

Nuclear Software connects CAD models directly to any simulation tool—CFD, structural analysis, thermal simulations, and more—without manual data prep. Engineers can select components and faces from their designs and run simulations instantly, while Nuclear Software handles all the behind-the-scenes tasks, like geometry conversions and meshing. This eliminates repetitive work and keeps development moving fast.

Every time a design changes, Nuclear Software’s pipeline architecture automatically runs the necessary simulations. Teams can customize workflows to validate individual components and perform full system simulations, all within the same platform. This keeps complex projects moving forward without bottlenecks and ensures every change is verified in real-time.

Nuclear Software lets engineers focus on what they do best—innovating and building complex systems. By automating simulation workflows and linking design iterations with real-time validation, Nuclear Software accelerates development cycles and ensures the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. This makes it easier to bring groundbreaking products to market, from rockets to reactors to next-generation vehicles.
