Driving outbound engagement, prospecting new verticals, and refining our go to market plan as we scale. What You Bring Comfort translating complex technical ideas into clear value propositions for customers and decision makers. Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with executives, engineers, procurement teams, and government stakeholders. A track record of identifying new markets or partnerships and moving them from idea to opportunity. Familiarity with energy systems, electrification, industrial power, defense, maritime systems, or superconducting technologies is a plus but not required. A proactive approach, willingness to dive into ambiguity, and genuine excitement for building real hardware with real customers. Readiness to roll up your sleeves whether that means helping run a demo, preparing materials for investors, or coordinating with suppliers.

We’re looking for a Plasma Physicist who’s not just into theory—but wants to design, simulate, and help build marine deployable tokamaks. You’ll spend your time running transport and system codes, exploring divertor concepts and operational scenarios, and conducting system level tradeoff studies. What You’ll Be Doing: Running simulations across the full plasma + machine stack: plasma equilibrium and magnetic system optimization, stability & confinement, transport, edge physics, burning plasma physics, diagnostic system design, disruption mitigation. Using tools like POPCON, TokaMaker, ASTRA, TGLF, Fuse, CGYRO, BALOO, UEDGE, Bluemira, COMSOL, ANSYS, FEA, and OpenMC to analyze and optimize the full system. Developing models and workflows to connect simulations with real-world design constraints. Form relationships and foster collaboration with academic & government labs to further optimize and explore the tokamak design space. Solving hard problems. What You Bring: Ph.D/M.S. in Plasma Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Applied Physics, or similar (or equivalent experience). Experience modeling tokamaks or similar fusion devices— from grad school, postdoc, or industry. Strong coding and engineering fundamentals. Willingness to do the dirty work involved with early stage startups; assemble the office furniture, setup software licenses, form strong external industry relationships.

We’re looking for an R&D Engineer who’s just as comfortable designing high power circuits as they are cranking out CAD for mechanical assemblies. If you love building real things and want to own the entire process of designing, prototyping, testing, and helping us scale from early builds to functional systems, you’ll fit right in. This role touches every corner of engineering: electrical, mechanical, thermal, systems, manufacturing, and software. Fusion is inherently multidisciplinary, and so is this job. What You’ll Be Doing Building and testing HTS (high-temperature superconducting) hardware: including REBCO conductors/cables, high-current power supplies, energy storage systems, cryogenic cooling systems, and integrated test fixtures. Standing up our R&D lab: benches, instrumentation, vacuum hardware, DAQs, software licenses, and everything in between. Owning your designs end-to-end: generating CAD and drawings, running FEA, sourcing components, working with vendors, and leading mechanical/electrical assembly. Hands-on prototyping: CNC machining and fabrication, soldering, wiring, assembling cryostats, working with LN₂, using DMMs/oscilloscopes, characterizing sensors and circuits. Developing and debugging electronics: from sensing circuits and high-current drivers to embedded control and data acquisition. Defining requirements and translating tokamak-level system attributes: into subsystem performance metrics. Solving genuinely hard problems: across physics, engineering, and manufacturing under real-world constraints. Collaborating closely with a small, multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and technicians: sharing results quickly, making design tradeoffs explicit, and helping shape our technical roadmap. What You Bring A well-rounded electromechanical engineering skillset spanning CAD/FEA (SolidWorks, CATIA, Ansys, COMSOL), PCB design (Altium, KiCad), power electronics, embedded systems, and mechanical design/fabrication. Hands-on hardware experience across mechanical builds, electronics bring-up, test setups, and system integration. Comfort with lab tools and instrumentation: CNC machines, machine shop tools, soldering equipment, oscilloscopes, DMMs, high-current supplies, vacuum pumps, and cryogenic hardware. Familiarity with power electronics and measurement/sensing circuits. Software proficiency: data acquisition, PLCs, Python scripting, test automation, and control systems. Bonus experience: working with REBCO tape, high vacuum, high voltage, high current, cryogenic systems, or industrial test infrastructure. Willingness to do the work involved with early stage startups: assembling the office furniture, setting up software licenses, and forming strong external industry relationships.

We’re looking for an R&D Technician who loves building real hardware, getting their hands dirty, and making experiments actually work. If your happy place is a lab or shop, turning wrenches, wiring up sensors, fixing that one flaky connector, and helping bring bleeding-edge hardware to life; you’ll fit right in. What You’ll Be Doing Building and assembling hardware and test setups: assembling magnet test stands, power racks, cryogenic plumbing, vacuum systems, and custom fixtures using mechanical drawings and wiring diagrams. Hands-on wiring, soldering, and instrumentation: terminating cables and connectors, building harnesses, routing and labeling wiring, soldering boards and connectors, and installing sensors (voltage taps, thermocouples, strain gauges, Hall probes, etc.). Running experiments and collecting data: setting up and operating DAQs, power supplies, oscilloscopes, DMMs, and other lab gear; executing test procedures; logging results; and flagging anomalies for the engineering team. Supporting cryogenic and vacuum operations: helping assemble and maintain cryostats, handling LN₂, operating vacuum pumps and gauges, leak-checking systems, and keeping an eye on “is everything actually sealed and cold?” Standing up and organizing the R&D lab: helping bring the lab online: setting up benches, mounting equipment, organizing tools and parts, labeling everything, and keeping the lab safe, tidy, and functional. Debugging hardware on the bench: tracking down loose connections, miswired harnesses, flaky sensors, and mechanical fit-up issues; working side-by-side with engineers to get systems from “it kinda works” to “it works every time.” Doing whatever it takes in an early-stage startup: from uncrating equipment and assembling racks/furniture to runs to the hardware store; you will be a core part of making the lab and company actually function. What You Bring Hands-on build and test experience: 2+ years as a technician, mechanic, lab tech, or similar role in hardware R&D, manufacturing, automotive/EV, aerospace, electronics, or a related field. (Exceptional hobbyist/maker experience also counts.) Comfort with tools and instrumentation: confident using hand tools, basic machine/shop tools, soldering irons, crimpers, multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes, and basic DAQ software. Ability to read and follow technical documentation: comfortable working from mechanical drawings, simple CAD prints, wiring diagrams, and written procedures, and giving feedback when something does not match reality. High ownership and reliability: you take pride in clean builds, good cable management, accurate measurements, and leaving the lab better than you found it. Bonus points for any of the following Experience with vacuum systems, cryogenics, or high-current / high-voltage equipment Experience with REBCO/HTS, magnets, or power electronics Basic familiarity with Python, LabVIEW, PLCs, or test automation Machine shop experience (CNC, manual mill/lathe, drill press, basic fabrication) Startup-ready mindset: willingness to get the often overlooked but critical work: assembling office furniture, unpacking crates, organizing inventory, and helping build a world-class lab from the ground up.
