    • Responsibly and safely operate experimental megajoule-class capacitor banks
    • Design and fabricate basic interface and control circuits for pulsed power systems, including voltage monitors, current sensors, and trigger generators.
    • Development of requirements documents and derived requirements to guide design and implementation of electrical systems to meet overall project needs
    • Supervision of small teams of technicians to assemble megajoule-class pulsed power systems
    • Writing work instructions, test plans, PowerPoint presentations, and reports
    • Provide general experimental electronics support for design, assembly, fielding, and operations of Zap Energy research experiments

    • Years of experience: 5-7 years
    • Working knowledge of a variety of low and high-power switching technologies, analog and digital circuit design, prototype, and debug
    • Experience with capacitor based pulsed power systems
    • Circuit simulation proficiency, e.g., LTSpice, Ansys Simplorer
    • Demonstrated ability to complete assigned projects in an organized and timely manner
    • Ability to work effectively with technical staff as part of a small, highly-skilled team reporting to Head of Pulsed Power R&D
    • Ability to thrive in fast-paced environment with shifting requirements in response to research results
    • Excellent written and communication skills

    Preferred:

    • Familiarity in design, procurement, assembly, fielding, operations, and analysis of fusion plasma physics experiment or high-power pulsed experiments
    • Experience with semiconductor-based (e.g., thyristor/SCR, IGBTs, SiC MOSFET, etc.) switch technologies, knowledge of tube-based (e.g., ignitron) switches
    • EM and mechanical simulation tool proficiency, e.g., Maxwell 3D, Ansys Mechanical
    • Data analysis including reduction, interpretation, and error analysis
    • Printed circuit board design tool proficiency, e.g., Altium Designer
    • Practical skills such as soldering, mechanical assembly, or machining

    Benefits of joining Zap Energy - While doing meaningful work is rewarding in itself, we also offer the following programs and benefits for all employees:

    • Competitive salary and benefits
