Senior Electrical Engineer, Pulsed Power - Everett, United States - Helion Energy
Description
About HelionWe are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity.
Since Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised over $600 million from investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group to propel us forward.
Our last prototype, Trenta, completed 10,000 high-power pulses and reached plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius (9 keV).Now we are working toward Polaris, which will be the first machine to demonstrate electricity from fusion, making this a great time to join Helion Bring your skills, experiences, and determination to make a difference in the world.
Together, we can make a future with unlimited clean electricity from fusion a reality.What You Will Be Doing:
We are hiring an Electrical Engineer to support the core of the world's first fusion generator machine.
You will support the main pulsed-energy drive systems for the magnetics, the energy recovery and re-distribution networks, the diagnostics, and the controls.
You will also develop novel ways to measure and acquire this data from high noise, high field, and high voltage environments.
You will report directly to our Electrical Engineering Manager at our Everett, WA office.You Will:
Lead the development and commissioning of high-voltage electrical power systems for driving pulsed magnetic coilsOversee design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of high-power electrical systems to drive pulsed coils (<1mS) at currents up to 5MA and voltages up to 40 kVDevelop electrical system architecture and work with designers to produce electrical schematics and installation drawings for system upgradesSelect components to develop cost-effective, scalable, and reliable design solutions and lead design reviews of developed systemsCollaborate with end-users and operators of power systems to complete commissioning efforts and survey opportunities to upgrade designsProduce plans, typically long-term, for solution development, documentation, and deployment while meeting several compliance, reporting, and safety standards following established engineering procedures in an evolving environmentProduce cost and schedule estimates related to the electrical system design, procurement, and installationDevelop technical requirements and work scopes for suppliers and subcontractors while functioning as an advisor or project leader providing direction to less experienced professional staff
