Senior Structures Engineer

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.

Pacific Fusion is looking for a Senior Structures Engineer to help with design, analysis, and validation of critical mechanical, structural systems necessary for the installation, commissioning, and operations of our fusion systems. This role requires extensive expertise across structural analysis, mechanical design, and construction engineering to safely and efficiently execute complex projects in a high-precision environment.

Drive and develop innovative designs for the specialized tools and equipment required for the installation, maintenance, heavy-lift, and high-precision alignment of large fusion machine components.

Design temporary support structures—including frames, fixtures, falsework, scaffolding, and temporary hoists—required for the installation and erection of the fusion machine.

Own the structural interfaces between the fusion machine and the civil facility, including the design of foundation embedments, anchorages, and load-distribution steelwork.
