R&D Engineer

What You Will Be Doing:

We are looking for an R&D Engineer to help bring the most powerful, controlled pulsed-fusion device ever constructed online with the goal of generating electrical power. We know this hasn't been done before, so we are looking for individuals who have translatable experience that can help us accomplish our goals. As an engineer on the Test Ops team, you will report to our Fusion Test Lead at our Everett, WA office.

You Will:

• Contribute to the development of technology and knowledge of how to optimally design, build, and measure FRC fusion devices
• Control pulsed power, high-energy systems, including mega-joule capacitor systems
• Design and build or support design and build of plasma and high-energy experiments and tests
• Work with large scale vacuum systems, including vacuum cycling quartz vacuum chambers that are 1+ meters in diameter, and handle modifications
• Understand plasma physics, including how to create FRC's and how to design, build, and interpret magnetic, fusion product, and plasma diagnostics
• Control Fusion generators using LabView-based control systems and PXIe-NI chassis-based systems, and solve data collection problems in a ...
