About Us
Pacific Fusion aims to power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy.
We are rapidly designing and building a pulser-driven inertial fusion system to achieve net facility gain (more fusion energy output than stored energy input). In parallel, we are developing the key components required to build affordable fusion systems.
Our plans are ambitious. We have raised over $900M so far from incredible investors, resourcing us to deliver on these plans. We are bringing together the best scientists, engineers, and operators from the fusion community, hard tech industry, and other sectors. We are united by a shared sense of urgency to provide clean power for the world, particularly managing climate change while meeting growing global energy demand. You can read more about us in this letter from our founders.
Why Join Us:
- Build what doesn’t exist yet – Work on first-of-its-kind advanced energy infrastructure in a fast-moving, technically ambitious environment
- Grow with us: Work alongside leading engineers, operators, and investors in a mission-driven and ambitious environment
- Competitive pay, full benefits, and equity in a company shaping the future of energy and space
