About this role

Head of Pulser Design Physics San Leandro, CA About Pacific Fusion 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. You can read more about us in this letter from our founders . 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
