Help us power the planet. The planet urgently needs safe, reliable, zero-carbon energy without waste. Nuclear fusion can address the scale of this problem, but for decades, existing fusion approaches have not proven a net positive energy gain. Zap Energy has rethought the fundamental technology of fusion. As the only company using sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch, we present potentially the fastest path to commercially available fusion energy. Zap Energy is currently looking for a Mechanical Engineer. This individual will have a key, hands-on role in the development of our fusion z-pinch devices. The ideal candidate is an organized, inventive problem solver, capable of working through technical challenges and employing sound, pragmatic solutions through team efforts. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States for any employer. Responsibilities and Duties: • Engineer, document, procure, assemble and deploy from sub-assemblies to full shear-flow...
