Jobs in Lynnwood, WA

About The Position

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience delivering a functional superconducting system that has been successfully deployed or operated in a real-world application
• Strong background in electromagnetics, superconductivity, and multiphysics modeling
• Hands-on experience designing and testing superconducting magnets or related systems
• Proficiency with COMSOL, ANSYS, or equivalent simulation tools
• Experience working across disciplines including mechanical, electrical, and plasma physics domains
• Proven ability to independently drive complex technical projects from concept to execution

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of superconducting hardware—from simulation and design through build, test, and integration
• Coordinate across internal teams and external partners to qualify technologies for deployment in Helion's fusion machines
• Analyze magnetic fields and their coupled effects (e.g., Lorentz forces, thermal loads, structural stress) using tools such as COMSOL and ANSYS
• Evaluate mechanical loading and failure modes in high-field superconducting environments
• Design, build, test, and iterate superconducting magnet systems in both standalone test stands and integrated fusion machines
• Develop experimental plans and diagnostics to validate performance under realistic operating conditions
• Analyze the impact of superconducting field configurations and architectures on plasma performance
• Collaborate closely with plasma physicists and machine designers to optimize system-level outcomes

Benefits
