About The Position

As a Mechanical Engineer at Fuse, you'll be responsible for end-to-end mechanical design of pulsed-power machines — from concept through detailed design, working directly with electrical, controls, and pulsed-power teams to turn requirements into hardware. You'll drive design reviews, keep drawing packages current, and stay hands-on through assembly as machines evolve through testing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of experience with SolidWorks/Siemens NX and CAD modeling; internships count toward this requirement.
• Demonstrated experience working on a team and achieving a common goal.
• Ability to create detailed engineering drawings, assembly procedures, and reports, with proficient application of GD&T tolerancing practices (ASME Y14.5), and participate in design reviews.
• Experience hosting and driving design reviews, capturing and resolving action items, and iterating quickly in fast-paced development cycles.
• Experience with weldment and sheet-metal component design, including familiarity with fabrication constraints, tolerancing, and drawing standards.
• 1+ years of experience running FEA and verifying results with hand calculations.
• Ability and willingness for bi-coastal travel.
• Must be able to travel and work extended hours/weekends as needed.
• 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.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in data management.
• Experience designing components or systems for pulsed-power applications, including energy storage, capacitor banks, switching hardware, or transmission lines.
• Hands-on experience with vacuum hardware and system design encompassing chamber geometry, structural analysis, vacuum-compatible material selection, UHV cleanliness, and outgassing requirements.

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for end-to-end mechanical design of pulsed-power machines, from concept through detailed design across multiple subsystems.
• Gather and integrate requirements from electrical, controls, and pulsed-power teams into cohesive mechanical designs.
• Coordinate procurement and manufacturing, working directly with vendors and suppliers to ensure parts are produced to specification and on schedule.
• Drive design reviews, be responsible for the drawing package, and manage action items through rapid iteration cycles.
• Be hands-on during machine assembly, providing direct technical oversight and ensuring build intent is executed to specification.
• Oversee site work, ensuring procedures are followed correctly and fielding technical questions in real time.
• Support existing builds and lead design iterations as machines evolve through testing and development.

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.
