R&D Engineer

What You Will Be Doing:

We are looking to 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. You will report to our Fusion Test Lead at our Everett, WA office.

You Will:

• Complete a training program and qualify as an operator of Helion's Polaris prototype fusion machine
• Safely operate and control pulsed power, high-energy mega joule capacitor systems
• Author and develop fusion prototype operating procedures and create experimental test plans
• Support Polaris tests including test set up, checkouts, and commissioning of Polaris subsystems
• Create post test data reports and reviews that inform and recommend actions for future testing; participate in formal data reviews
• Operate and monitor large-scale vacuum systems, including vacuum cycling quartz vacuum chambers that are 1+ meters in diameter
• Learn and understand plasma physics, including how to create and optimize FRC's
• Design, build, and interpret magnetic, fusion product, and plasma diagnostics *...
