Control Systems Architect – IFE

Xcimer Energy leverages decades of research on Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with groundbreaking new laser architecture. Our mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. Xcimer has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution.

Supported by leading investors, Xcimer is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion! This is a full-time, onsite role based at our headquarters in Denver, CO. As a Control Systems Architect on our Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) program, you will define the control system architecture for Xcimer’s fusion power plant and carry it from concept through detailed design.

You will work directly with the program’s control systems director as the hands-on engineering counterpart, turning plant-level control philosophy into architecture, interface definitions, and design baselines. You will also contribute as a working controls engineer within the plant’s other major systems such as laser, fusion chamber, fuel processing, and power conversion, as their control and instrumentation designs mature.

Working within the Electrical & Control Systems Engineering department, you will exercise independent judgment on complex, first-of-a-kind problems, with work reviewed against program objectives. We are looking for our engineers to apply their technical expertise, problem solving skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the future of energy!
