Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone.\nSince Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised $1.5 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors including Thrive Capital, LightSpeed Venture Capital, SoftBank, and others to propel us forward. Our current prototype, Polaris, has reached record-breaking plasma temperatures of 150 million degrees Celsius (13 keV). Helion is continuing to iterate and on the path to the world's first fusion power plant, Orion.\nThis is a pivotal time to join Helion. You will tackle real-world challenges with a team that prizes urgency, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to delivering hard truths - values essential to achieving what no one has before. Together, we will change the future of energy, because the world can't wait.\nWhy This Role Matters\nHelion's pace depends on electrical teams that ship hardware fast without ever compromising safety at multi-megajoule energies. As a manager, you build and lead the team designing the pulsed-power circuits at the core of the machine - capacitor banks, switching, and protection. Your job is to make that team excellent: to grow engineers, set technical direction, and turn ambitious designs into commissioned hardware.\nWhat You Will Be Doing\nLead and grow a team of electrical engineers designing high-voltage and pulsed-power circuits.\n\nOwn technical direction, execution, and delivery for your team's hardware.\n\nCoach, develop, and hire engineers; build a strong, fast, and safe engineering culture.\n\nPartner across mechanical, controls, systems, and test teams to deliver integrated hardware.\n\nBalance iteration speed with the rigor and safety that high-energy systems demand.\n\nRequired Skills\nA degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.\n\nSignificant electrical engineering experience, including power electronics or high-voltage circuit design.\n\nPeople leadership experience (typically 2+ years managing engineers), and a track record of delivering complex electrical hardware.\n\nStrong technical judgment and the ability to lead engineers who are experts in their domains.\n\nExperience with pulsed power, capacitor banks, or high-voltage systems, and with fast-paced hardware development or early-stage team-building, is an asset.\n\n#LI-Onsite #LI-KL1\nBenefits\nOur total compensation package includes benefits, including but not limited to:\nMedical, Dental, and Vision plans for employees and their families\n\n31 Days of PTO (21 vacation days and 10 sick days)\n\n10 Paid holidays, plus company-wide winter break\n\nUp to 5% employer 401(k) match\n\nShort term disability, long term disability, and life insurance\n\nPaid parental leave and support (up to 16 weeks)\n\nAnnual wellness stipend\n\nHelion is an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
