R&D Senior Research Engineer - Everett, United States - Zap Energy
Description
Zap Energy is looking for a Senior Research Engineer who has experience relevant to the design, build, and operation of fusion-grade plasma devices. This engineer will have a hands-on role in the design and build of fusion plasma devices and their related systems, including mechanical structures, vacuum vessels and equipment, plasma-facing electrodes and insulators, high-performance gas puff valves and gas delivery systems, and scientific instruments.An ideal candidate would also contribute to the operation of such systems.
Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer.
Responsibilities:
Required:
Zap Energy is building a low-cost, compact, and scalable fusion energy platform that confines and compresses plasma without the need for expensive and complex magnetic coils. Zap's sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch technology provides compelling fusion economics and requires orders of magnitude less capital than conventional approaches. Zap Energy has approximately 150 team members in multiple facilities near Seattle and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors.
Zap Energy Inc. is an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ancestry, color, family or medical care leave, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, national origin, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, protected veteran status, race, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws and regulations.
