What You Will Be Doing:

We are looking for an engineer with experience working with pulsed power systems to join the Test Operations team. As an experiment and test engineer, you will help design, test and operate experimental high-power, high voltage pulsed DC systems up to 40kV. These pulsed power systems will enable us to bring the most powerful, controlled pulsed-fusion device ever constructed online with the goal of generating electrical power. You will report to our Fusion Test Lead at our Everett, WA office.

You Will:

Contribute to the development and commissioning of high voltage electrical power systems for driving pulsed magnetic coils

Develop electrical system architecture and work with designers to produce electrical schematics and installation drawings for system upgrades

Design, assembly, test and deploy high power systems

Prepare experimental test plans and procedures, and present at test readiness reviews

Maintain experimental facilities and related support equipment such as capacitors, high-voltage power electronics, data acquisition systems, and diagnostics

Develop and validate technical specifications to comply with project requirements

Use critical reasoning to identify strengths and weaknesses of different technical solutions

Work with control systems, including LabView-based control systems and PXIe-NI chassis-based systems, and solve data collection problems in a fast-pulse EMI environment.

Required Skills:

B.S. or M.S in aerospace engineering, physics, or related field of study and 3+ years of experience with design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of high-power systems to drive pulsed coils ( Experience in design, fabrication, installation, and test of high voltage electronics

Experience with solid state switching technologies and understanding of operating characteristics of power electronic components such as IGBTs, power MOSFETs, and SCRs

Experience in the design, build, and test approach of seeing a project from conception to completion

Demonstrated ability and desire to rapidly learn new systems

Demonstrated experience taking on complex problems, defining and accomplishing challenging objectives with minimum guidance

Experience with Microsoft Suite, LTSpice, SIMtrex/Simplis, KiCAD, Altium, Matlab

Work collaboratively and communicate effectively as a member of a team

The pay range for this position is $115k-175k/YR. This pay range may be inclusive of several career levels and will be narrowed based on several factors, including the candidate’s experience and qualifications.
