Pacific Fusion was founded in 2023 with the mission to power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy. Backed by General Catalyst and Lightspeed.
About the role
As a Hardware Configuration & Change Management Specialist, you will be the backbone of engineering integrity across our fusion demonstration system. Thousands of custom mechanical and electrical assemblies, subject to constant design iteration, must remain traceable, releasable, and buildable at all times. You will own the processes and tools — centered on Windchill — that keep our hardware baseline accurate as the design evolves at startup speed. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of experience in hardware configuration management, engineering change management in a hardware-intensive environment
- Hands-on, working knowledge of PTC Windchill (workflows, BOM management, change objects, and lifecycle states) is required
- Solid understanding of engineering change processes (ECR/ECO/ECN) and configuration management principles for complex, multi-revision hardware
- Comfort reading mechanical and electrical drawings and BOMs well enough to assess the impact of a proposed change
- Proactive, "DOer," and self-starter capable of navigating the ambiguity of a first-of-a-kind research project
- A positive attitude and the ability to influence cross-functional teams of scientists, engineers, and technicians
More about this role
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 pulser-driven inertial 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 .
