Infrastructure Mechanical Engineer
About Pacific Fusion Pacific Fusion was founded in 2023 with the mission to power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy. We are rapidly designing and building a pulser-driven inertial fusion system to achieve net facility gain (more fusion energy output than stored energy input). In parallel, we are developing the key components required to build affordable fusion systems. Our plans are ambitious. We have raised over $900M so far from incredible investors, resourcing us to deliver on these plans. We are bringing together the best scientists, engineers, and operators from the fusion community, hard tech industry, and other sectors. We are united by a shared sense of urgency to provide clean power for the world, particularly managing climate change while meeting growing global energy demand. You can read more about us in this letter from our founders.Why This Role Matters As the Infrastructure Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for overseeing theintegration of mechanical building system requirements for our nuclear fusiondemonstration system. You will work across several teams to develop thebuilding systems which enables us to achieve net facility gain. Duringconstruction you will work with design consulting engineering and contractors toensure a quality installation which can be safely maintained. Followingconstruction, you will be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and futureupgrades of the building systems. This position is based in Albuquerque, NM and will require up to 50% travel toour San Leandro, CA facility during the design and permitting process.
