Fusion is the ultimate hardware job. Into building pulsed power, high-voltage electronics, precision magnets, or plasma diagnostics? Come make machines that put electricity on the grid.
Our team designs, builds, and tests fusion hardware across a broad range of disciplines. It's all on the path to commercial fusion deployment.
