Cryogenic Systems Engineer
About Fuse
We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.
About the Role
Fuse is constructing Z-Star, a next-generation pulsed-power facility. Z-Star requires two deeply integrated cryogenic systems: a high-vacuum cryopumping system and a 4 K target/liner cryogenic cooling system.
As the Cryogenic Systems Engineer, you'll design, commission, operate, and maintain both systems and serve as the facility's resident expert in cryogenic and vacuum science.
Core Responsibilities
Cryopump System Design & Operations
Design, procure, install, and commission the multi-stage vacuum system for the Z-Star chamber, including turbomolecular roughing pumps, cryopump arrays, and associated gate valves, interlocks, and controls.
Define cryopump sizing, placement, and regeneration schedules to meet target base pressure and shot-repetition-rate requirements.
