Pulser-driven inertial fusion systems targeting commercial net gain by 2030
Pacific Fusion is building a pulsed inertial fusion energy system designed to achieve net facility gain by 2030. The tech stack reflects a hardware-first, simulation-heavy organization: CAD tools (Creo, NX, SolidWorks, Fusion 360), physics simulation (ANSYS Fluent, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE), and manufacturing execution (Primavera P6, Windchill, EtherCAT). Senior engineering dominance (34 of 45 open roles) paired with active projects spanning pulsed power systems, target design, and automated manufacturing lines indicates a company in the critical transition from prototype to production—a phase where both technical depth and manufacturing scalability become bottlenecks.
Pacific Fusion, founded in 2023, develops pulser-driven inertial fusion technology for commercial power generation. The company has raised over $900M to resource the build-out of a demonstration system and the path to net facility gain. Based in Fremont, California, Pacific Fusion operates as a hardware-focused, engineering-heavy organization with 51–200 employees. Current work spans mechanical component design, pulsed power and magnetic systems, fusion target development, and the setup of automated manufacturing lines—reflecting an organization transitioning from development prototyping into production-scale delivery.
CAD and design: Creo, NX, SolidWorks, Fusion 360; simulation: ANSYS Fluent, MATLAB, Simulink, SPICE; manufacturing: Primavera P6, Windchill, EtherCAT; enterprise: SAP, Oracle, NetSuite; cloud: AWS; frontend: React.
