Fusion Fuel Cycle Process Engineer

About Acceleron Fusion Acceleron Fusion is pioneering muon‑catalyzed fusion—a path to clean, abundant energy. Building on research sponsored by the U.S. DOE, we have recently raised a $24M Series A venture capital round. We have already logged 100+ hours of muon-catalyzed fusion in tests at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Our collaborators include PSI, Oak Ridge, Argonne, Fermilab, and top universities. Join a team where fundamental physics meets application-oriented engineering, and your designs could power the leap from laboratory breakthrough to world‑changing energy source.

We’re looking for an innovative, collaborative Process Engineer with a background in ultra-pure gases to design and implement the fuel handling systems for our muon-catalyzed fusion research apparatus. The role focuses on developing the ultra-high vacuum and gas handling systems needed to manage deuterium-tritium fusion fuel and other process gases. The majority of our engineering and development work occurs at our facility in Cambridge, MA. You will also travel with the team for several weeks out of the year to help integrate and test systems at our partner facilities in Switzerland, Vancouver, and New York.
