Electrical Engineer

About the Role

As an Electrical Engineer at Fuse, you're building at the limit of what's possible, advancing pulsed-power technology as part of a team tackling the monumental challenge of fusion energy.

Core Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test control and data acquisition (DAQ) systems for pulsed-power facilities.
• Design and assemble PCBs for control systems, diagnostics, and pulsed-power applications.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and analyze the performance of electrical components, assemblies, and systems.
• Develop control architectures spanning sensing, actuation, embedded hardware, and data acquisition.
• Conduct applied R&D across electrical engineering, fusion energy, and pulsed-power systems.
• Write specifications and technical reports and support systems through build, testing, and iteration.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 1+ years of experience in PCB schematic and layout design using Altium Designer or equivalent software.
• 1+ years of experience simulating electronic circuits using SPICE.
• 1+ years of experience designing control processes and control systems, including defining control architecture, sensing, and actuation.
• 1+ years of experience configuring and managing data acquisition (DAQ) systems.
• Proficiency with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, power supplies, and DMMs, as well as sensors and calibration techniques.
• Experience with embedded hardware system design.
• Ability and willingness to travel between Fuse locations as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• C and/or Python programming ability.
• Experience with pulsed-power, high-voltage, or high-current systems.
• Familiarity with EMI hardening and protected I/O for electrically noisy environments.
• Hands-on experience with embedded protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS-485, or Ethernet.

What We Value

• Disagree and commit.
• The best idea wins.
• Once a decision is made, we move.

• Desire to win.
• This is hard.
• Expect intensity.
• We are here to win.

Plan B is to make Plan A work.

Additional Requirements

Must be able to travel and work extended hours/weekends as needed.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Relocation assistance for roles that require it.
• Flexible time off. Take what you need, no accrual tracking.
• 2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year, subject to team and business needs.
• Supportive leave of absence policies.
• Paid leave for new parents.

Itar Requirements

To conform to U.S. Government technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
