Why This Role Matters
As Head of Pulser Physics Design, you will own the design and development of the world’s most powerful fast pulsed power system. The complete Pulsed Power System will come together in our fusion demonstration system. This will be a high-gain fusion system that demonstrates net facility gain and will have its own site, facilities, and infrastructure. Pulsed Power is the heart of the system that will enable us to commercialize fusion power. You will push the limits of pulser physics and design first-of-a-kind pulser systems.
What You'll Do
- Own the design of our pulsed power system while adhering to ambitious timelines.
- Build and lead a team of pulser physicists, engineers, and technicians developing every stage of the pulser.
- Take over the pulsed power lab and continue overseeing experiments that will prove out the overall system design.
- Work across multiple technology teams and disciplines to ensure successful design, delivery, and integration of the pulsed power system.
What You Bring
- Expertise designing and developing high-power pulsed power systems.
- Experience with R&D for specialized components such as high-power capacitors, liquid and gas switches, and vacuum power flow.
- Proven expertise in designing, building, testing, and innovating on pulsed power systems.
- Ability to build and manage a team with highly-specialized skill sets within pulser physics and design.
- Track record of delivering results quickly while maintaining a safe work environment.
