We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team. 

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.
What you'll do:
  • Conduct the handling, routing, splicing, testing, and potential repair of 1000’s of fibers throughout the SPARC fusion machine
  • Perform mechanical integration of small assemblies adjacent or in conjunction with the fiber work, such as passthrough flanges and enclosures for the fibers
  • Install composite or polymer wrappings for the fibers and their enclosures
  • Train other technicians as needed in the proper installation, splicing, routing, and measurement procedures
  • Improve safety protocols for laser and fiber optic handling
  • Fulfill manufacturing and R&D fiber needs
What we’re looking for:
  • 4+ years experience in fiber optics field applications
  • Experience with taking attenuation, insertion loss, and spectral analysis measurements using various measurement equipment (such as OTDR, OSA, OBR, power meter, etc.)
  • Must have experience fiber handling in a lab setting with known standards
Bonus points for:
  • 7+ years experience in fiber optics field applications
  • Experience in utilizing distributed sensing arrays
  • Experience with polyimide and a variety of coated fibers
  • At least 1 year experience in teaching and/or training fiber splicing techniques and cable assemblies
  • Experienced with designing, building, and testing fiber cable assemblies, particularly in cryogen and vacuum conditions
  • Experience performing fiber optic work in environments with limited space or requiring odd positions.
  • Skills:
    • Fiber coating removal
    • Fiber re-coating
    • Specialty fiber splicing
    • Fiber proof-testing
  • Measurement and analysis techniques with optical tools and equipment such as interrogators, optical multiplexers, optical switches, fault locators, OTDR, etc.
  • Knowledgeable about various optics sensing techniques and optical attenuation/insertion loss mechanisms
  • Basic Materials Science knowledge
  • Good communication skills
  • Good attention to detail
Must-have Requirements:
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
  • Perform activities:
    • Stooping, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
    • May need to operate in small confined places in odd locations
    • Work locations could include being on platforms around 25 feet high
  • Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
