Description

You will design advanced beam-control hardware for fusion experiments, developing high-voltage and RF solutions to manipulate particle beams at energies from kilovolts to megavolts. Your work involves analyzing electrical-breakdown challenges, building prototypes, and traveling to integrate hardware at beamline facilities, contributing to moving fusion technology from the laboratory to a commercial energy source.

Requirements

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field
• Five years experience designing high voltage or pulsed power systems
• Proficiency with COMSOL, ANSYS, or similar multiphysics simulation tools
• Proficiency with circuit design tools (e.g. Altium)
• Hands‑on lab experience: high voltage safety standards and best practices; lab instrumentation; practical troubleshooting
• Thoughtful collaboration skills, able to interact and work closely with people from other technical disciplines and backgrounds
• Demonstrated time management and organizational skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities

Responsibilities

• Analyze, model, and mitigate electrical-breakdown and insulation challenges in high-voltage structures and circuits
• Design kilovolt-to-megavolt electrostatic systems for particle beam acceleration and cooling
• Architect RF power and energy recovery systems using Klystrons, Magnetrons, waveguides, and similar components
• Build multiphysics models incorporating electromagnetics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and particle transport
• Build prototypes and conduct lab tests
• Generate clear design docs, test plans, and risk analyses that support rapid iteration and safe operations
• Travel with the team (including international travel) to integrate your hardware at beamline facilities and carry out experiments
