  • Fusion Energy Experiments (using existing public-sector experimental capabilities)

  • Fusion Energy Experimental Operations (including radiation and industrial safety)

  • Control Systems (human safety, machine control and safety, data collection integrity)

  • Power Plant Secondary Systems

  • Fusion Energy Technologies, including pulsed power systems, lasers, materials, optics, target injection and tracking, radiation chamber dynamics, fuel cycle, facility operations, cryogenics, vacuum technology, precision machining, and all other associated fields

  • Fusion Energy Technology Peer Review

  • Fusion Energy Technology Concept Ideation

What You'll Do

  • Lead and contribute to fusion energy R&D projects from concept through prototype.

  • Collaborate across disciplines to integrate fusion energy target design, fabrication, diagnostics, and supporting technologies into deployable systems.

  • Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at national and international fusion energy conferences.

  • Work hard, have fun, feel rewarded, and make a difference!

What You Bring

  • A top 1% performer who gives 1000% and has a deep desire to win.

  • A current national laboratory employee interested in joining PF through OBA.

  • Advanced degree (Ph.D. or M.S. with significant experience) in physics, engineering, or related discipline.

  • Strong computational, experimental, or engineering skills relevant to fusion energy research.

Why Join Us

  • Contribute directly to the development of commercially deployable fusion energy systems.

  • Collaborate with a world-class team bridging public-private innovation in fusion energy.

  • Flexible work options: positions are available from 5 to 40 hours per week with competitive salary, equity, and benefits.

Compensation

Compensation is negotiable and ranges from a full-time equivalent salary of $200,000 to $350,000 per year plus company equity, depending on experience and qualifications. Pay will be prorated based on the agreed weekly hours. Lunch will be provided when working at a Pacific Fusion facility.
