Pulsed magnetic fusion energy systems and precision manufacturing
Pacific Fusion is building a pulsed magnetic fusion system aimed at net facility gain, backed by over $900M in funding since 2023. The tech stack—Creo, COMSOL, SPICE, SolidWorks, MATLAB/Simulink, plus manufacturing tools like CNC, Mastercam, and MES adoption—reflects a hardware-first engineering culture focused on physics simulation and precision fabrication. The hiring mix skews heavily senior (36 of 59 active roles) across engineering and manufacturing, signaling execution-phase scaling rather than team-building.
Pacific Fusion designs and manufactures pulsed magnetic fusion systems targeting net facility gain, with parallel work on cost-reducing component fabrication. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Fremont, California, the company operates across physics simulation, mechanical engineering, precision manufacturing, and controls integration. The organization is staffed primarily by engineers and manufacturing specialists recruited from the fusion research and hard tech sectors. Active projects span pulsed power system design, automated manufacturing line setup, component assembly and testing, and controls system integration for safety and automation.
Pacific Fusion develops a pulsed magnetic inertial fusion energy system designed to achieve net facility gain (more energy output than stored input). Work includes pulsed power system design, precision component fabrication, and controls integration.
Core tools include Creo, SolidWorks, and NX for CAD; COMSOL and OpenFOAM for physics simulation; MATLAB/Simulink for controls; SPICE and Silvaco for electronics; CNC, Mastercam, and MES for manufacturing; SAP and NetSuite for ERP.
