About the job

Join Marathon Fusion as a Senior Mechanical Engineer

At Marathon Fusion, we are pioneering the engineering technologies required to transform fusion science from experimental concepts into operational power plants. While much of the field is focused on developing new fusion devices, our mission centers around creating practical systems that facilitate the large-scale deployment of fusion energy, essential for addressing climate change.

Our expertise lies in developing vital technologies for the fuel cycle and plant operations that enable stable isotope production, fuel cycle closure, and advanced blanket systems, which are crucial for energy generation and producing high-value co-products.

Founded in 2023, Marathon Fusion is on a mission to build the components and systems required to make fusion a practical, abundant, and reliable energy source for the future.

Our Culture

We operate in a dynamic startup environment that demands focus, adaptability, and the ability to prioritize in a rapidly changing landscape. Success here requires exceptional proactive communication, the ability to foster trust among team members, and a commitment to continuous learning and skill development. We place a strong emphasis on self-direction and initiative within our team.

About Your Role

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on our Lithium Team, you will collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers, physicists, and scientists to prototype, test, and implement innovative solutions aimed at advancing the fusion fuel cycle. Your hands-on design and testing experience with electromechanical systems will be instrumental in developing and refining a groundbreaking isotope separation device.

Your Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and enhancement of the isotope separation system, focusing on robust and scalable deployment.

  • Prototype, test, and troubleshoot individual components and integrated systems, working closely with fellow engineers, physicists, and technicians.

  • Develop a deep understanding of key physical processes and utilize experimental data and literature to guide improvements.

  • Thoroughly document experimental outcomes and decisions to inform design iterations and process enhancements.

  • Mentor junior engineers, fostering their technical development and sound engineering judgment.

Your Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in designing, prototyping, and testing electromechanical systems.
