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\nFuse is the first private company building a fusion facility based on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF), an approach proven through a decade of simulation and experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. Our next milestone is Z-Star, a 15 TW Next Generation Pulsed Power (NGPP) facility built on TITAN, our in-house Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG) and the highest-power IMG in the world. Z-Star will be the first large-scale demonstration of the IMG architecture and will support high-quality science relevant to DOE missions. As a Pulsed-Power Engineer, you will design, build and test the high-voltage pulsed power systems that drive our MagLIF experiments, working alongside engineers and scientists from concept through experiment.\nWHAT WE VALUE\nObsess about the details - sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time.\n\nCare - pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care.\n\nAct with urgency - every hour matters more than it feels like it does.\n\nBe responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed.\n\nAssume good intent - disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made.\n\nCORE RESPONSIBILITIES\nDesign and develop pulsed power systems that deliver high-energy, high-power electrical pulses to the MagLIF target.\n\nAnalyze and model system performance to optimize efficiency, reliability and safety.\n\nWork with engineers and scientists to design and build the MagLIF experimental setup, including the target chamber, diagnostics and control systems.\n\nRun experiments to test the pulsed power systems and the MagLIF target.\n\nAnalyze experimental data to validate system and target performance.\n\nTroubleshoot and repair the pulsed power systems and the experimental setup.\n\nDocument design, development and testing through technical reports and conference presentations.\n\nMINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS\nDegree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Engineering Physics or a related field, with a focus on pulsed power.\n\nHands-on experience designing, building and testing pulsed power systems.\n\nExperience with pulsed power technologies such as Marx generators, pulse-forming networks and switches.\n\nExperience with high-voltage, high-current electrical systems.\n\nStrong communication and teamwork skills.\n\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with circuit and pulsed power modeling codes such as PSpice, LTspice, SCREAMER, CHICAGO or similar.\n\nExperience with IMGs, LTDs, Z-pinch or MagLIF experiments.\n\nBackground at a national lab or large pulsed power facility.\n\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS\nThis is not a remote position and will require relocation if not already local to Fuse's San Leandro, CA facility.\n\nComfortable working hands-on in a lab around high-voltage and high-energy equipment, following strict safety procedures.\n\nOccasional travel to other Fuse locations and partner facilities.\n\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":4337,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":"2026-10-28T00:16:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":165000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fuse-pulsed-power-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fuse-pulsed-power-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T11:44:10Z","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":15449,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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%2Ffuse-pulsed-power-engineer"},{"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%2Ffuse-pulsed-power-engineer"},{"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%2Ffuse-pulsed-power-engineer"},{"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/fuse-pulsed-power-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffuse-pulsed-power-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3368967}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"f.energy","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3368967},"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.
