DirectorofLaserEngineering

## Description Xcimer Energy leverages decades of research on Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with groundbreaking new laser architecture. Our mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. Xcimer has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by leading investors, Xcimer is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion!   This is a full-time, onsite role based at our headquarters in Denver, CO.   As the Director of Laser Engineering, you will lead the development, scaling, and industrialization of advanced laser systems that support Xcimer’s next-generation fusion energy platform. You will define the technical direction for large-scale laser architectures, build and mentor a high-performing engineering organization, and ensure laser systems are reliable, manufacturable, and scalable for industrial deployment. We are looking for a technical leader to apply their expertise in laser engineering, systems integration, and organizational leadership to positively impact the future of energy! ## Responsibilities Lead the Laser Engineering department, including hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and performance development of engineering staff. Define and own the technical roadmap for laser system development, maturation, scaling, and industrial deployment. Oversee the design, integration, testing, validation, and commissioning of large-scale laser systems with strong emphasis on reliability, manufacturability, repeatability, and operational performance. Collaborate closely with experimental physics teams to evaluate existing laser architectures, experimental results, and critical design tradeoffs. Review and assess current laser technologies and architectures to identify technical risks, limitations, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
