Do Epic Science TAE is the world’s first private fusion energy company, founded in 1998 to commercialize the cleanest, safest, most affordable, and sustainable form of carbon‑free power. We are applying science and engineering to design transformational technologies. Whether it's harnessing fusion through the science of stars, making exponential leaps in power efficiency, or innovating medical care with a novel cancer treatment:
We're turning the promise of science into reality.

We’re looking for candidates who are passionate about realizing our mission: A future where all people have affordable access to reliable, abundant, and environmentally friendly fusion‑generated electricity.

This person will be part of a team developing critical software for the next generation of cancer treatment, using nuclear technology and a variety of closed‑loop control systems. They will be doing a lot of LabVIEW development while working cross‑functionally with physicists, electrical and mechanical engineers, and product leadership. A major driver of the current work effort is moving from the R&D mindset into a medical device deployment, so expect a mix of design, implementation, documentation, and test/integration.

The preferred candidate will solve tactical problems efficiently while maintaining awareness of the bigger picture and engaging in detail on a wide variety of issues. Neutron beam control is as much art as science, so there’s a lot to learn, and documentation can be sparse. Excellent communication skills, an inquisitive attitude, and the ability to take ownership of an issue and run it to ground are equally important.

You have experience with LabVIEW in multiple target environments (FPGA, Real‑Time, application‑level) and are practiced with generating solid documentation while developing innovative code. You should be equally comfortable working on high level design/requirements as you are debugging anomalies in FPGA or real‑time systems. You like collaborating with a variety of talented engineers and physicists and can maintain a can‑do attitude while delivering under pressure.

We do a lot of collaborative development and hold regular reviews, you should enjoy the process of discussing design, implementation, and testing. You’re detail‑oriented, with excellent written communication skills, and experience doing project planning and justification.
