Jobs at Xcimer Energy Corporation

Lead design, specification, procurement, integration, and commissioning of a high-speed adaptive optics system for laser beamlines. Define requirements, performance budgets, run trade studies, engage vendors, oversee tests and factory acceptance, integrate systems with controls and lasers, mentor staff, and grow the Adaptive Optics group with documentation and processes.

Support day-to-day accounting operations including AP, GL, cash management, monthly close, reconciliations, journal entries, PO/AP 3-way matching, audit and tax support, and ad-hoc financial analysis to inform business operations.

Lead non-sequential ray-trace analysis and stray light mitigation for high-energy DUV laser systems using FRED. Model and validate mechanical features (baffles, beam dumps), identify hot spots and fringing, write scripts to automate simulations and data processing, and collaborate with optical, mechanical, and materials teams to meet system-level stray light requirements.

Lead systems engineering for fusion energy systems: define and allocate requirements, manage interfaces, run design reviews (PDR/CDR), lead V&V, risk and configuration management, and integrate specialty engineering for operability, reliability, and maintainability.

Administer, configure, and maintain multi-tier Teamcenter deployments (DEV/QA/Prod), Active Workspace, BMIDE data models, integrations with NX CAD and other lifecycle tools, provide Tier 2/3 support, manage upgrades/indexing, create deployment packages, and deliver training and documentation to engineering and supply chain users.

Create and run multi-physics and electromagnetic models and simulations of pulsed power electrical and mechanical systems. Collaborate with design teams to optimize designs, plan validation experiments, and integrate simulation-driven improvements into manufacturing-ready designs.

Lead end-to-end supply chain strategy for R&D through commercial scale, including sourcing, procurement, materials planning, inventory, logistics, supplier development, and risk management. Build and scale a high-performing team, integrate supply considerations into engineering and program decisions, implement supply chain systems and KPIs, and ensure compliance with regulatory and export-control requirements.

Design, model, and implement high-performance adaptive optics systems for high-energy lasers. Develop optimization routines and wave-optics simulation tools, collaborate with vendors on deformable mirrors and wavefront sensors, align and calibrate AO hardware, characterize optical environments, and integrate AO subsystems to improve beam quality and stability.

Serve as the first point of contact at Denver HQ: greet visitors, maintain reception area, manage visitor logs and badges, handle mail and voicemail, support calendar scheduling, and perform general administrative duties to ensure a professional, secure front office.

Lead design, prototyping, and deployment of automated manufacturing systems including robotics, motion, sensing, and vision. Own projects end-to-end, support controls integration, perform DFMEA/PFMEA, optimize production workflows, develop documentation, manage suppliers, and ensure safety and regulatory compliance to enable reliable, scalable production.

Manage day-to-day security operations, CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance, and data privacy programs. Administer Microsoft Purview and Defender, run incident response, maintain SSP/POA&M, support air-gapped security, integrate logging/SIEM, and collaborate across IT, legal, and engineering to enforce security controls and evidence collection.

Provide legal support across corporate matters: manage document repositories, assist with drafting and negotiating agreements, coordinate information flow, support attorneys, maintain templates and compliance logs, drive process improvements, and ensure timely, high-quality deliverables.

Lead end-to-end development and delivery of site infrastructure and facilities for a fusion pilot plant, managing schedule, budget, contractors, permitting, commissioning, risk mitigation, and transition to operations while ensuring regulatory, safety, and utility coordination.

Lead planning and delivery of a large-scale (hundreds of millions to billion-dollar) fusion engineering program, overseeing cross-functional teams, system architecture (chamber, blanket, support systems), procurement, design-to-commissioning transitions, regulatory/safety compliance, budgeting, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communication.

Manage month-end/quarterly/annual close, prepare journal entries and reconciliations, and maintain internal controls. Lead cost accounting for capital-intensive manufacturing (inventory, WIP, overhead, standard costing), oversee fixed assets and capex, and handle R&D accounting and tax credit documentation. Support ERP and compliance tool implementations and assist with audits and tax incentives.

Lead and grow the Optical Engineering team to design, analyze, integrate, validate, and commission UV laser beamlines, diagnostics, adaptive optics, coatings, and precision optical subsystems. Provide technical direction, oversee requirements flow, manage supplier relationships, resolve complex optical performance issues, and partner across disciplines to deliver optical systems for fusion and directed-energy programs.

Lead and grow an enterprise Simulation & Synthesis organization to deliver scalable, credible multi-physics modeling, V&V, uncertainty quantification, and model-to-test correlation. Establish simulation standards, workflows, data governance, and decision-support artifacts; partner with program and systems teams, integrate simulation with testing, build external collaborations, and represent the company in technical communities to support program milestones and engineering decisions.

Lead federal and state government advocacy for fusion energy: build senior relationships across DOE/DOD, Congress, and executive agencies; manage briefings, visits, and partnerships; track legislation and administrative actions; coordinate lobbyists, consultants, and trade associations; represent Xcimer in high-level forums and deliver senior briefings.

Lead design, fabrication, and testing of electron-beam cathode systems for pulsed-power inertial fusion. Balance modeling (analytical, PIC, SPICE) and experiments, optimize beam transport and deposition, operate UHV systems, manage procurement and documentation, and integrate cathodes into larger diode/laser architectures.

Lead and independently design, execute, and analyze complex laser-based experiments. Develop and apply diagnostics, troubleshoot systems, maintain and extend data processing scripts, produce technical reports, and mentor technicians while collaborating across scientists and engineers to improve experimental performance.
