AVALANCHE ABOUT US Avalanche is a Seattle-based start-up developing compact fusion machines for clean, energy-dense power generation. Our unique approach allows us to build, test, break, learn and iterate on reactors in days to weeks. The modular design is designed to provide power to applications from austere environments to deep-sea vehicles and from maritime transport to lunar power. WHY WORK FOR US We see our fusion power packs as the foundation for creating a world with abundant clean water, healthy oceans, vast rainforests and immense glaciers in healthy equilibrium.We know we have an incredibly ambitious mission, and that it requires a wide combination of skills, attitude, and grit to make it happen. If you have a passion for abundant energy, and how we can improve life with it, we want to have a chat with you. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT The best way to deliver a revolutionary LOCATION Tukwila, Washington, USA NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES 52 MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCH Research and development in fusion power, advancements in fusion technologies, high-voltage power systems, computing, and magnets POSITIONS RECENTLY RECRUITED FOR Plasma physicists, computational physicists, theoretical physicists, electrical and instumentation engineers, mechanical engineers, machinists product is to build quickly, iterate often, and test the heck out of it. We celebrate quick decision making to get real hardware into real tests as fast as possible. We design, build, test, fix, and repeat. You should be self-motivated, energized by problem solving and working closely with hardware. You enjoy hands-on, creative collaboration with a small, tightknit team that you can work with, laugh with, and learn with on a wide variety of topics. You can pivot between priorities when necessary, and you can also slide the headphones on, focus, and auger deep into a single topic as needed. You thrive in an atmosphere of development, and you are an ardent learner who’s always looking for ways to grow and improve.
