Manufacturing Development Engineer

At Inertia, we plan to build fusion fuel targets to initiate the world’s first fusion power plant. We need talented engineers to take on the challenge of scaling up the target production from laboratory scale to volume production.

This role will be critical to take development from fusion fuel target research and establish viable volume production equipment, material, and process.

The role will report to the VP of Industrial Engineering.
