About Pacific Fusion:

Fusion has powered the sun for billions of years. Harnessing fusion here on earth could provide limitless, on-demand, clean power to meet our growing energy needs, tackle the climate crisis, and fuel growing prosperity for centuries to come - if we can make it practical and affordable.

Pacific Fusion was founded in 2023 to develop clean, affordable fusion power. Our approach - pulsed magnetic fusion, where large electric current pulses are used to magnetically compress fusion fuel - has long offered compelling advantages; now, recent scientific and engineering breakthroughs have opened a path to translate that approach into affordable fusion power.

We are still in stealth, based in Fremont, CA and backed by an incredible group of leading VCs and company builders.

  • Stay current with industry trends and advancements in manufacturing technologies.
  • Work with mechanical engineers on the implementation of design changes to facilitate improvements for manufacturing across our system components.
  • Participate in risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies.


Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineering required. Master's Degree is a plus.

  • Strong understanding of performance, cost, and trade-offs of various manufacturing processes including: sand casting and die-casting aluminum components, forging and welding stainless steel components, injection molding plastics, 3D printing plastics and metals, multi-axis CNC, lathe, and brazing.
  • Strong understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturability).
  • Strong understanding of production and assembly of mechanical systems.
  • Knowledge of high voltage systems is a plus.
  • Excellent leadership skills, with the ability to mentor and guide junior engineers.
