Control Systems Project Lead - Applied Science

About the role

Xcimer Energy leverages decades of research on Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with groundbreaking new laser architecture. Our mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. Xcimer has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution.

Supported by leading investors, Xcimer is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion!

This is a full-time, onsite role based at our headquarters in Denver, CO. As a Control Systems Project Lead - Applied Science, you will own the controls system of a major development program, starting with one of our large, multi-subsystem laser test facilities.

Our Applied Science group delivers control systems that integrate advanced hardware to demonstrate cutting-edge science, and in this role you will design, implement, verify, and commission the control, data acquisition, and interlock systems that enable scientific experimentation.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role with coordination responsibility: you will plan and assign sprint work to other team members, deliver software releases on schedule, work directly with system operators, and coordinate controls activities with the other engineering teams on the program.

We are looking for an engineer who brings strong diagnostic thinking, test stand experience, and demonstrable software capability, along with the organization to keep a multi-team controls effort on track.
