Mechanical Design Engineer- Plasma Diagnostics

Type One Energy•Vancouver, BC

51d•Hybrid

About The Position

Type One Energy is seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with first of a kind design and integration skills, to translate design requirements into functional plasma diagnostics systems. Responsibilities will also focus on complex concept design development and optimization, which may include developing/reviewing CAD and engineering drawings, performing engineering analysis, designing of experiments and performing laboratory testing and evaluation, design reviews and TRL assessments. Type One Energy applies proven advanced manufacturing methods, modern computational physics and high-field superconducting magnets to develop its optimized stellarator fusion energy system. Our FusionDirect development program pursues the lowest-risk, shortest-schedule path to a fusion power plant over the coming decade, using a partner-intensive and capital-efficient strategy. Type One Energy is committed to community engagement in the development and deployment of its clean energy technology.
