About This Job

About Pacific Fusion

Pacific Fusion was founded in 2023 with the mission to power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy.

We are rapidly designing and building a pulsed magnetic fusion system to achieve net facility gain (more fusion energy output than stored energy input). In parallel, we are developing the key components required to build affordable fusion systems.

Our plans are ambitious. We have raised over $900M so far from incredible investors, resourcing us to deliver on these plans. We are bringing together the best scientists, engineers, and operators from the fusion community, hard tech industry, and other sectors. We are united by a shared sense of urgency to provide clean power for the world, particularly managing climate change while meeting growing global energy demand. You can read more about us in this letter from our founders.

Qualifications

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field.
Strong understanding of pulsed electronics, time-domain systems, or RF systems with time-domain applications.
Hands-on experience with high-voltage test equipment, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and fast diagnostics.
Ability to transition from design through field testing, troubleshooting, and system maintenance.
Motivated and adaptable, capable of pivoting between multiple technical domains.


Preferred

Background in national labs, accelerator systems, military/aerospace timing or triggering systems.
Familiarity with diagnostic timing in beamlines, fusion experiments, or medical x-ray systems.
Experience in both low-power RF systems and high-voltage pulsed applications.


Benefits
