## About the role

You'll work alongside engineers and scientists to transform ideas into prototypes, prototypes into experiments, and experiments into the next generation of Helion fusion machines. One day, you might be troubleshooting high-voltage pulsed power hardware or repairing machine subsystems. Next, you could be fabricating a prototype, integrating new diagnostics, supporting machine upgrades, or reconfiguring a test bay to enable the next phase of development for Helion fusion machines.

- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation systems where root causes are not immediately apparent
- Experience developing, integrating, or supporting first-of-a-kind hardware in an R&D, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, semiconductor, robotics, or similar technical environment
- Strong hands-on fabrication and prototyping skills, including mechanical assembly, machining, fixture design, and rapid hardware iteration
- Proficiency with electrical assembly, wiring harnesses, cable fabrication, soldering, PCB assembly, and signal routing
- Experience using electrical test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and data acquisition equipment
