Job description
About Helion

We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity. Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone.

Since Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised over $1 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors SoftBank and Lightspeed to propel us forward. Our last prototype, Trenta, completed 10,000 high-power pulses and reached plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius (9 keV). We are now operating Polaris, our next prototype on the path to the world's first fusion power plant.

This is a pivotal time to join Helion. You will tackle real-world challenges with a team that prizes urgency, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to delivering hard truths - values essential to achieving what no one has before. Together, we will change the future of energy, because the world can't wait.

What You Will Be Doing:

You will lead the Metals and Dielectric Materials Science team, bringing together expertise in new materials design, analytical engineering, prototyping, and scale-up. In this role, you will guide the development of advanced inorganic materials for extreme environments, aligning cross-disciplinary efforts to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that support Helion's mission. This is an onsite role that reports directly to Director of the Materials Science at our Everett, WA office.
  • Lead, develop, and support subject matter experts driving the development and scale-up of advanced conductive materials engineered for extreme environments, including elevated temperature and radiation exposure
  • Own and manage the delivery of Helion's conductive materials needs such as magnets, structural elements, and capacitors
  • Translate annual goals into objective tasks and manage month-to-month planning towards completing goals and objectives. Drive schedule ownership to accelerate the completion of milestones
  • Build and manage a network of collaborative relationships, both internally and externally, to develop new materials that can survive a fusion environment
Minimum Required Skills:
  • Experience with developing new metals, alloys, and multi-metal microstructure from ideation to launch
  • Experience or deep knowledge of metal processes including casting, forging, machining, grinding, and milling
  • Hands-on experience in analytical equipment to characterize metals properties including structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties (e.g., metallograph, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA/DSC, ICP-MS, Fatigue tests, flexural, and tensile tests)
  • The ideal candidate would have a bias for action, know how to organize the team to execute with urgency, and favor learning through rapid prototyping
  • Experience (i) managing a materials science team that delivered a high-impact final product, (ii) expanding a talent-dense team via a hiring process, and (iii) owning the schedule for a critical path facet of a milestone project
  • Successful and autonomous mentorship of employees of a wide range of expertise, experience, and backgrounds, demonstrated e.g., via several performance review cycles and successful coaching of direct reports
  • Fluent in some people management systems (e.g., recruiting, timecard management, spend approval, and performance reviews) and applying company policies as described in an employee handbook
