Laser Engineer

Fuse is on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to fusion energy. Our core product is TITAN: an Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG). TITAN is the most efficient and powerful (TW) machine of its kind. Fusers have built and licensed Magical Unicorn and FAETON I, 2 novel pulsed power generators.

You are joining an early-stage fusion company. Please expect to wear different hats and take 0 to 1 ownership of objectives. This is not a regular job. Fusers are on a mission to change the world.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing and developing laser systems that generate short-duration, high-energy pulses of light.
• Developing and testing laser components, including the laser cavity, mirrors, and amplifiers, to ensure that they can withstand high-energy pulses
• Collaborating with optical, electrical, and mechanical engineers, to integrate laser systems with other components of a larger system
• Conducting research and development activities to explore new technologies and techniques for improving high-energy laser systems
• Planning and overseeing the manufacturing, installation, and operation of laser systems
• Developing and implementing quality control procedures to ensure that products meet industry standards and MagLIF requirements
• Performing cost analysis and creating project timelines to ensure projects are completed on schedule and within budget
• Writing technical reports and giving presentations to communicate design concepts, testing results, and project progress to stakeholders (external and/or internal)
  
  
  

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s/ Master's/ PHD degree in optics, optoelectronics, laser physics, electrical engineering, photonics or a related field
