The role
As a Vacuum Systems Mechanical Engineer, you will lead the design, integration, and operation of vacuum systems for rare-gas/halide (excimer) lasers used in IFE power generation. Your work will begin with prototype systems and continue through the design and demonstration of power-producing IFE reactors. You will ensure that vacuum hardware meets flow and performance requirements throughout the product development lifecycle in a dynamic R&D environment. We are looking for our engineers to apply their technical expertise, problem solving skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the future of energy!
What you will do
- Develop and specify pump-down and vent procedures to meet vacuum system flow requirements.
- Perform analyses and calculations to predict and optimize flow architecture functionality, including pressure drop, flow budgeting, humidification, and gas purity.
