Mechanical Engineer (Opto-Mechanical)

Xcimer Energy is at the forefront of clean energy innovation, leveraging decades of research in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with revolutionary laser architecture. Founded in 2021 by experts in high-energy laser systems, nuclear physics, and fusion engineering, the company is backed by leading clean energy and deep-tech investors. Their mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as rapidly as possible.

As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer, you'll be integral to building state-of-the-art UV laser systems for laser-driven inertial fusion. Working within a small, dynamic, and highly motivated team, you'll apply broad mechanical engineering skills and technical leadership to complex problems. The role offers hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing laser and diagnostic systems.

The position demands expertise in mechanical design, particularly using SolidWorks, and requires deep understanding of optical systems integration. You'll work closely with various engineering teams, ensuring system requirements are met from design through operation. The role combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, including FEA analysis and hardware procurement.

This opportunity is perfect for someone who wants to make a direct impact on the future of clean energy. Xcimer's comprehensive design for a fusion power plant represents the most promising path to putting fusion energy on the grid within 10 years. Join a team that's not just innovating in engineering, but actively working to combat climate change through groundbreaking fusion technology.
