Expression of Interest - Research Engineer

Help us power the planet.

The planet urgently needs safe, reliable, zero-carbon energy without waste. Nuclear fusion can address the scale of this problem, but for decades, existing fusion approaches have not proven a net positive energy gain. Zap Energy has rethought the fundamental technology of fusion. As the only company using sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch, we present potentially the fastest path to commercially available fusion energy.

We are always looking to connect with talented researchers who are passionate about advancing fusion science and contributing to a clean energy future.
