What You Will Be Doing
Helion is hiring a Principal Experimental Scientist to lead the development of our RF pre-ionization capability for Helion’s fusion generators. In this role, you will own the strategy, technical direction, and execution of RF plasma source development for our FRC system, translating plasma physics goals into robust experimental hardware and operational capability. You will develop, optimize, and validate high-performance RF systems to achieve target plasma density, stability, and coupling efficiency, while defining the diagnostic and experimental approach needed to measure and improve performance.
