5+ years expAcceleron Fusion is developing muon-catalyzed fusion, a path to clean, abundant energy. They are seeking a high-voltage electrical systems engineer to design advanced beam-control hardware for fusion experiments, focusing on high-voltage and RF solutions for precise particle beam manipulation.
Employment
Responsibilities
Analyze, model, and mitigate electrical-breakdown and insulation challenges in high-voltage structures and circuits
Design kilovolt-to-megavolt electrostatic systems—for example using Marx generators, Cockcroft‑Walton stacks, or Pelletrons —for particle beam acceleration and cooling
Architect RF power and energy recovery systems using Klystrons, Magnetrons, waveguides, and similar components
Build multiphysics models incorporating electromagnetics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and particle transport
Build prototypes and conduct lab tests
Generate clear design docs, test plans, and risk analyses that support rapid iteration and safe operations
Travel with the team (including international travel) to integrate your hardware at beamline facilities and carry out experiments
