About Helion We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity. Our vision is a world with clean, reliable, and affordable energy for everyone. Since Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised over $1 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors SoftBank and Lightspeed to propel us forward. Our last prototype, Trenta, completed 10,000 high-power pulses and reached plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius (9 keV). We are now operating Polaris, our next prototype on the path to the world's first fusion power plant. This is a pivotal time to join Helion. You will tackle real-world challenges with a team that prizes urgency, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to delivering hard truths – values essential to achieving what no one has before. Together, we will change the future of energy, because the world can't wait. What You Will Be Doing: We are looking for a Health Physicist to join our Radiation Safety team to work with radiation, radioactive materials, radiation survey equipment, and team members with varying levels of technical familiarity with these subjects, as we operate Polaris and build future fusion generators. This position is ideal for an experienced professional eager to make a significant impact on radiation safety practices at Helion. As a member of the radiation safety contingent of the Science team, which includes radiation safety, fuel cycle, plasma and nuclear science, and materials contingents, you will work closely with diverse teams across Helion, such as Research & Development, Engineering, Production, EH&S, Facilities, and more. You will report to our RSO at our Everett, WA office. You Will: - Work with cross-functional teams to design, establish, implement, and execute a comprehensive radiation safety program supporting safe, compliant, and effective
