Jobs at Helion Energy

The Director of Experimental Science will lead a team to design, implement, and optimize technologies for fusion plasma performance while overseeing inter-departmental projects and ensuring stakeholder alignment.

Lead the development and execution of training programs for Helion's R&D team, focusing on operational readiness for fusion machines and fostering a strong learning culture.

Support the design and optimization of a high-volume manufacturing facility by leading layout development, enhancing throughput, and collaborating across departments.

Run, analyze, and interpret MHD simulations using Helions internal code to evaluate FRC dynamics, circuit response, and magnetic loads. Reproduce experiments in simulation, perform parameter scans and validation, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and communicate findings via reports and presentations to inform fusion generator development.

Lead development of control philosophy, automation architecture, and instrumentation strategy for fuel cycle systems. Define control system architectures, HMI, alarming, and data requirements; select and manage vendors; produce control narratives, I/O lists, and diagrams; integrate with plant and fusion machine controllers; and lead onsite and remote commissioning to ensure safe, reliable operation.

The PR Lead will manage media relations, craft narratives about Helion's fusion technology, and support external communications strategies, enhancing awareness and credibility in the energy sector.

Lead Orion program execution by coordinating cross-functional teams, integrating schedules, identifying dependencies and risks, escalating major technical decisions, driving review cadence, tracking readiness and blockers, and building TPM standards for dependency tracking, decision logs, risk reviews, and executive reporting.

The Senior Superconductor Engineer will manage the lifecycle of superconducting hardware, focusing on design, testing, and integration to optimize performance in fusion machines.

Manage and maintain Windows and Linux servers, Microsoft 365/Entra ID, virtualization, endpoint/patch management, and monitoring. Implement security controls, automate with PowerShell and RMM, support Azure/AWS workloads, perform audits, and participate in on-call incident response.

The Community + Brand Manager will shape external brand experiences, manage events, enhance community engagement, and create branded materials while coordinating with cross-functional teams.

As a People Operations Coordinator, you will support employee experience initiatives, maintain records, ensure compliance, and improve workflows.

The Multiphysics Simulation Engineer will enhance analysis workflows, run finite-element models, collaborate on hardware designs, and build automation tools for engineering analysis.

As a Frontend UX/UI Software Engineer, you'll design and implement applications for fusion machine operators, improving their workflows with real-time data visualizations and user-friendly interfaces, while collaborating closely with engineering teams.

The Senior Experimental Scientist will lead the development and analysis of plasma diagnostics for fusion generators, ensuring alignment with operational needs and optimizing performance through collaboration with various engineering and science teams.

Lead supplier development for mechanical parts: assess and improve supplier manufacturing and quality systems, define technical and quality specs, implement PPAP, drive product ramp to high-volume production, analyze supplier metrics, coordinate corrective actions, and help build Helion's supplier quality program and receiving inspection standards.

Lead development of data foundations for fusion systems: ingest and model experimental and operational time-series data, build data schemas and pipelines, create ontologies and metadata frameworks, and develop AI-enabled workflows and decision-support tools for anomaly detection, analysis, and operational reporting.

The Principal Experimental Scientist will lead RF pre-ionization development for fusion generators, integrating various technical inputs and enhancing plasma performance through rigorous experimental design and execution.

The Internal Communications Specialist will lead Helion's internal communication efforts, ensuring alignment and engagement through storytelling, newsletters, and innovative communication strategies across teams.

The Senior Technical Writer will develop and maintain technical documentation for fusion systems by collaborating with operations and engineering teams to translate complex processes into usable procedures and manuals.

Design, build, deploy, calibrate, and operate plasma diagnostics for fusion generators. Support experimental campaigns, troubleshoot hardware, analyze diagnostic data, document procedures, and collaborate cross-functionally to improve device performance.
