Job summary

Helion Energy, based in Everett, WA, seeks an experienced engineer to own hardware designs for fusion generator prototypes and tackle multidisciplinary problems from concept to hardware testing. You will work with experts across electrical, thermal, and structural domains to advance fusion energy deployment.

The role emphasizes hands-on analysis, development of automation tools, and collaboration within a growing engineering team.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, applied mathematics, physics or related field with a minimum of 3 years of hands-on engineering experience.
• Strong background in analytical, computational and numerical simulation methods.
• Expert level understanding of electromagnetic and thermal finite element modeling.
• Experience in taking on complex analysis problems from formulation through hardware testing and model correlation.
• Proficiency with multiphysics finite-element analysis tools such as COSMOL, ANSYS or equivalent.
• Experience with programming environments (Matlab, Python, etc.) for scripting, tooling or data analysis.
• Familiarity with semiconductor physics, solid mechanics and structural dynamics (modal, transient).
• Familiarity with Slurm or other high-performance computer cluster (HPC) batch schedulers.
• Desire to positively impact complex structural designs, rather than just execute on analysis.

Responsibilities

• Own hardware designs for fusion generator prototypes.
• Solve multidisciplinary engineering problems for deploying fusion energy.
• Act as a culture driver on a growing team, onsite in Everett, WA.
