Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Mechanical Engineer at Fuse, you'll be responsible for end-to-end mechanical design of pulsed-power machines - from concept through detailed design, working directly with electrical, controls, and pulsed-power teams to turn requirements into hardware. You'll drive design reviews, keep drawing packages current, and stay hands-on through assembly as machines evolve through testing.\nCore Responsibilities\nBe responsible for end-to-end mechanical design of pulsed-power machines, from concept through detailed design across multiple subsystems.\n\nGather and integrate requirements from electrical, controls, and pulsed-power teams into cohesive mechanical designs.\n\nCoordinate procurement and manufacturing, working directly with vendors and suppliers to ensure parts are produced to specification and on schedule.\n\nDrive design reviews, be responsible for the drawing package, and manage action items through rapid iteration cycles.\n\nBe hands-on during machine assembly, providing direct technical oversight and ensuring build intent is executed to specification.\n\nOversee site work, ensuring procedures are followed correctly and fielding technical questions in real time.\n\nSupport existing builds and lead design iterations as machines evolve through testing and development.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.\n\n2+ years of experience with SolidWorks/Siemens NX and CAD modeling; internships count toward this requirement.\n\nDemonstrated experience working on a team and achieving a common goal.\n\nAbility to create detailed engineering drawings, assembly procedures, and reports, with proficient application of GD&T tolerancing practices (ASME Y14.5), and participate in design reviews.\n\nExperience hosting and driving design reviews, capturing and resolving action items, and iterating quickly in fast-paced development cycles.\n\nExperience with weldment and sheet-metal component design, including familiarity with fabrication constraints, tolerancing, and drawing standards.\n\n1+ years of experience running FEA and verifying results with hand calculations.\n\nAbility and willingness for bi-coastal travel.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in data management.\n\nExperience designing components or systems for pulsed-power applications, including energy storage, capacitor banks, switching hardware, or transmission lines.\n\nHands-on experience with vacuum hardware and system design encompassing chamber geometry, structural analysis, vacuum-compatible material selection, UHV cleanliness, and outgassing requirements.\n\nWhat We Value\nGive a shit. Build things you're proud of.\n\nTake responsibility. If something is broken and you can fix it, fix it. See things through.\n\nMove fast. Make decisions, learn quickly, and keep moving forward.\n\nThink bigger. Simplify relentlessly. Don't default to the safe answer.\n\nDisagree and commit. The best idea wins. Once a decision is made, we move.\n\nDesire to win. This is hard. Expect intensity. We are here to win.\n\nPlan B is to make Plan A work.\n\nAdditional Requirements\nMust be able to travel and work extended hours/weekends as needed.\nBenefits\nMedical, dental, and vision coverage.\n\nRelocation assistance for roles that require it.\n\nFlexible time off. Take what you need, no accrual tracking.\n\n2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year, subject to team and business needs.\n\nSupportive leave of absence policies.\n\nPaid leave for new parents.\n\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.\nEqual Opportunity\nFuse is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Fuse is governed on the basis of merit, competence, and qualifications and will not be influenced by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, ancestry, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4550,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible time off","Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T05:41:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.097,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":550,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":155000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/f-mechanical-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/f-mechanical-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T07:22:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10370,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":691631},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=691631"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ff-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ff-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ff-mechanical-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/f-mechanical-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ff-mechanical-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":854690}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"f.energy","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":854690},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
