Internship role focused on contributing to fusion technology development and R&D in mechanical engineering.

We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity. Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone. Since 's founding in 2013, we have raised $1.5 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors including Thrive Capital, LightSpeed Venture Capital, SoftBank, and others to propel us forward. Our current prototype, Polaris, has reached record-breaking plasma temperatures of 150 million degrees Celsius (13 keV). is continuing to iterate and on the path to the world's first fusion power plant, Orion. This is a pivotal time to join . You will tackle real-world challenges with a team that prizes urgency, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to delivering hard truths – values essential to achieving what no one has before. Together, we will change the future of energy, because the world can't wait.

As a Mechanical Engineering Intern at you'll be at the forefront of fusion technology development. internships are designed to give real ownership to help train the next generation of fusion engineers. You'll collaborate on R&D efforts, explore potential system upgrades to enhance overall performance, and contribute fresh ideas as we work on next-generation machines. This internship will require solving engineering problems critical to deploying fusion energy to the world. This is a 12-week onsite internship at our Everett, WA office.
