2 weeks ago
We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity. Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone.
Since Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised over $1 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors SoftBank and Lightspeed to propel us forward. Our last prototype, Trenta, completed 10,000 high-power pulses and reached plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius (9 keV). We are now operating Polaris, our next prototype on the path to the world's first fusion power plant.
This is a pivotal time to join Helion. You will tackle real-world challenges with a team that prizes urgency, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to delivering hard truths - values essential to achieving what no one has before. Together, we will change the future of energy, because the world can't wait.
What You Will Be Doing:
You will lead the strategic growth and execution of impactful, company-wide learning experiences to support Helion's continued scaling and employee success. You'll collaborate closely with leaders and executives to build a long-term vision and align learning initiatives with business objectives. You'll oversee training programs, manage and mentor a growing L&D team, and contribute to cultivating a strong learning culture across the company. This is an onsite role that reports directly to the Director of Talent & People Operations at our Everett, WA office.
You Will:
- Develop and execute the long-term Learning & Development (L&D) strategy aligned with Helion's goals, fostering a culture of continuous learning across technical and non-technical teams
- Design, implement, and scale high-impact training programs, including compliance and job-specific learning for hardware manufacturing and production employees
- Lead and grow the L&D team, providing mentorship, performance management, and support to ensure program delivery
- Partner with senior leadership to identify organizational learning needs, delivering strategic initiatives that drive employee development and business performance
- Oversee the Learning Management System (LMS), manage external vendor relationships, and track key metrics to measure training effectiveness and engagement
- Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Business Administration, or a related field-or equivalent practical experience
- 7+ years of experience designing, delivering, and scaling L&D programs, including 2+ years in a people management role, ideally in high-growth tech or startup environments within hardware manufacturing and production
- Experience aligning learning strategies with business goals, managing concurrent projects, and partnering with cross-functional stakeholders across all levels on initiatives that drive organizational impact
- Proficiency with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and digital learning tools
- Expertise in developing technical, leadership, compliance, and role-specific training across diverse teams and disciplines
