What You Will Be Doing:You will lead the development of engineers and scientists that will bring the most powerful, controlled pulsed-fusion device ever constructed online, to generate electrical power. As a leader within the Research and Development team, you will grow and lead a high-performance operating team in the research and development of fusion technology and experiments, control high-energy systems, and design diagnostics for advanced plasma devices. You will report to the Senior R&D Manager, and this is an onsite role located at our Everett, WA office.
You Will:- Grow and mentor a team of multidisciplinary engineers and scientists
- Drive schedule ownership and optimization across the team to accelerate milestone achievement
- Collaborate with Engineering, Science, and Production teams to derive system requirements and meet program goals
- Contribute to the testing and operation of Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) fusion devices
- Lead engineers and scientists in the design and execution of plasma and high-energy experiments
- Educate and facilitate work performed by the team on large-scale vacuum systems greater than one meter in diameter
- Apply plasma physics concepts to support your team in creating FRCs and implement diagnostics to measure magnetic fields, fusion products, and plasma characteristics
- Mentoring Operators in using critical reasoning to evaluate and improve technical solutions
Required Skills:- B.S. with 8+ years of engineering experience, or M.S. with 4+ years of relevant experience in Aerospace, Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
- 1+ years in a technical leadership or management role
- Proven ability to mentor engineers and positively impact their career progression
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams with full project ownership
- Proven experience designing, building, and operating complex experiments with a focus on diagnostics and continuous improvement
- Hands-on experience across multiple engineering disciplines
- Ability to apply first-principles thinking to solve complex technical problems
- Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new technologies and take ownership of project areas
