We know we have an incredibly ambitious mission, and that it requires a wide combination of skills, attitude, and grit to make it happen. If you have a passion for abundant energy, and how we can improve life with it, we want to have a chat with you.

Avalanche might be fit for you if: You are self-motivated, energized by problem solving and working closely with hardware. You enjoy hands-on, creative collaboration with a small, tight-knit team you can work with, laugh with, and learn with on a wide variety of topics.

  • Assist in the analysis and interpretation of test data and provide recommendations for upgrades, improvements and conclusions.
  • Participate in the design and build of new experiments and experimental equipment including test chambers, diagnostic instrumentation, fixtures, wiring, controls etc.
  • Present test results verbally and in writing to team members, as well as record and maintain detailed documentation.
  • Travel for conferences, meetings or company offsite events as required
  • Travel for conferences, supplier visits, meetings or company offsite events as required

About you:

  • Strong understanding of physics concepts and principles.
  • 1 or more years of experimental research experience or equivalent work.
  • Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Basic experience using Python for test scripting and/or data analysis.
  • Hardworking, enthusiastic attitude with a track record of overcoming challenges.
  • Ability to work with your hands and perform light lifting, and mechanical tasks.

Bonus skills or experience: (not required, only add if needed)

  • M.S. in relevant field
  • Familiarity with fusion industry, experiments, or plasma devices
  • Familiarity and proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks.

Benefits:

  • Excellent medical, dental and vision benefits: We pay 100% of your premiums
  • 10 paid holidays and company-wide December holiday break
  • Generous paid vacation and sick time
  • Small, tight-knit team with low barriers to action
  • Exposure to a wide variety of problems for unparalleled, hands-on professional growth
  • Weekly employer provided team meals, a well-stocked kitchen, and employee events on and off-site
  • Meaningful equity in the form of stock options
