About Pacific Fusion
Founded in 2023, Pacific Fusion is on a mission to provide the world with abundant, affordable, and clean energy. Our team is actively engaged in designing and constructing a pulser-driven inertial fusion system to achieve net facility gain, producing more fusion energy output than the energy input. Alongside this, we are developing essential components to enable the creation of cost-effective fusion systems.
With over $900 million raised from visionary investors, we are committed to delivering on our ambitious plans. We are uniting top scientists, engineers, and operators from the fusion community and other sectors, driven by a collective urgency to combat climate change and meet the increasing global energy demand.

Why This Role Matters
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in overseeing the integration of mechanical building system requirements for our nuclear fusion demonstration system. Collaborating with various teams, you will develop building systems that facilitate achieving net facility gain. Throughout the construction phase, you will partner with design consulting engineering firms and contractors to ensure a high-quality and maintainable installation. Post-construction, you will be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and upgrades of these building systems.
This position is based in Albuquerque, NM, with up to 50% travel required to our San Leandro, CA facility during the design and permitting phases.
