Helion Tech Stack
Fusion energy company building commercial power plant prototypes
Helion is a physics-driven fusion company operating at the prototype-to-production inflection point. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward engineering (126 roles) with significant manufacturing (31) and research (19) cohorts, reflecting the shift from lab-scale validation toward factory-floor scaling. Pain points center on manufacturability, supplier quality, and cost reduction — signals that Polaris, their current prototype program, is moving beyond plasma physics into supply-chain and process engineering.
