💼 About This Role

You'll design, specify, and integrate vacuum systems for laser-driven fusion experiments at a leading clean energy startup. Your work will directly impact the development of large-scale vacuum infrastructure and reactor-relevant environments, bridging small-scale experiments to facility-level deployment.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Design and specify vacuum systems for experimental and large-scale setups.
• Select pumps, valves, gauges, seals, and vacuum-compatible materials.
• Integrate vacuum systems with laser, diagnostic, and facility infrastructure.
• Support commissioning, leak testing, and performance validation.

📋 Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
• 3–10+ years of experience with vacuum systems.
• Strong understanding of vacuum physics (flow regimes, outgassing, conductance).
• Hands-on experience with leak detection and troubleshooting.

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with high-energy physics, fusion, semiconductor, or laser systems.
• Knowledge of large or complex distributed vacuum systems.
• Familiarity with cleanroom environments and UHV/XHV systems.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Unlimited PTO
• 🧑‍⚕️ Health Insurance
• 📈 Equity
• 🏢 On-site Gym
• 🥗 Free Meals
