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
We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to design, build, operate, and advance our pulsed power systems — the core of our experimental fusion platform. This role is deeply hands-on and multidisciplinary, requiring expertise across high-voltage systems, controls, diagnostics, and data analysis. The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth with the ability to lead R&D workflows, collaborate across disciplines, and take ownership of system performance and development.
What they're looking for
- Experience designing, developing, testing and building prototype mechanical/electrical systems
- Proven ability to deliver complex R&D projects on schedule, from concept to prototype to validation
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.
