We aim to commercialize fusion energy in 10 years.

We know what we’re doing - our leadership team has over 150 years of experience combined.

We’ve already been recognised for our work by the Department of Energy through awards and funding.

Our philosophy accepts no intellectual boundaries and celebrates creativity. 

If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision, join us as a “CAD Designer/Drafter”. This is what you need to know:

Location: Knoxville (TN) or Vancouver (BC)

Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent, full time

Reporting to: Director of Engineering

Your role in the mission:

The Type One Energy Technology Division is seeking a CAD Designer with emphasis on first of a kind design and integration.

This role will be responsible for the CAD design for our Project Infinity- a medium scale stellarator that will demonstrate the performance of a highly optimized stellarator magnetic field configuration as well as the viability of high temperature superconducting stellarator magnets.

Following successful design, fabrication, and operation of Project Infinity, Type One Energy will begin construction of a Fusion Pilot Plant (FPP). This plant will demonstrate production of electrical power in the 100 MW range with a closed fuel cycle.

The primary responsibility of the CAD Designer is to create the computer aided modeling required to enable the design and fabrication of both projects.

• Translate mechanical design requirements into an integrated 3D configuration models.
  
• Develop interfaces between and among stellarator systems and resolve any conflicts.
  
• Develop accurate CAD models based on given specifications.
  
• Converting CAD models into technical drawings for fabrication, accurate and concise callouts for fabrication specifications, and help coordinate the fabrication of components.

What you’ll need:

• Candidates must have a BS degree in Engineering and 5 years of design related experience or 10 years of design experience.
  
• Five years of experience using commercial CAD software, as well as an understanding of ANSI callouts, machining practices, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances (GD&T).
  
• The candidate must have proficiency using Creo or Siemens NX computer aided design software.
  
• Experience with design of fusion energy systems and equipment is desirable.
  
• Excellent communication skills including verbal, presentation, and writing skills are required to enable effective interaction with technical peers, program managers, and sponsors.

We offer:

In addition to a basic salary and yearly bonus, you will also get…
