Why This Role Matters
Taking fusion from a working prototype to a manufacturable power plant is as much an organizational challenge as a technical one. As a Senior Manager, you scale both the electrical systems and the teams that build them - leading across high-energy power systems and owning the roadmap from Polaris toward Orion and, ultimately, mass production. You'll operate where technical strategy, execution, and team-building meet.
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead and scale electrical engineering across high-energy power systems - capacitor banks, power conversion, and grid tie-in.
- Own the technical roadmap that carries these systems from prototype toward manufacturable, mass-produced hardware.
- Develop managers and senior individual contributors; build organizational depth ahead of Helion's growth.
- Drive execution across multiple teams and disciplines, and remove the obstacles that slow them down.
- Partner with company leadership on strategy, hiring, and budgets, and keep safety and rigor central as the organization scales.
Required Skills
- A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Extensive electrical engineering experience, including high-power or high-voltage systems.
- Leadership experience (typically 3+ years), including leading engineers and, ideally, other leaders.
- A track record scaling teams and delivering complex electrical systems, with both strategic and hands-on technical judgment.
- Experience with grid tie-in, design-for-manufacturing and production ramp, or scaling an engineering organization through rapid growth is an asset.
