Original job description
General Fusion (NASDAQ: GFUZ) is a fusion technology development company. The Company aims to deliver economical, carbon-free fusion energy through its practical Magnetized Target Fusion (“MTF”) technology, an engineering-driven approach to fusion energy. General Fusion's commercialization program is anchored by LM26, the world's first commercially relevant-scale MTF demonstration machine. The Company is working toward the commercial deployment of fusion power in the mid-2030s. General Fusion is the first publicly listed fusion company and TIME’s No. 1 GreenTech Company of 2026.
The Systems Modeling Engineer works with a team of subject matter experts to build systems and process models, of a fusion power plant, that is used to make system trade-offs, define sub-system requirements, and validate plant architectures. The successful applicant will be expected to hit the ground running and thrive in a fast-paced and constantly evolving work environment. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Systems Modeling Engineer looking for challenging work that has a direct impact on General Fusion’s ability to develop practical fusion energy solutions.
General Fusion is a collaborative workplace that depends on human interactions; while working from home is possible it is not guaranteed and is dependent on maintaining team effectiveness.
