PerformanceEngineer

Focused Energy is a fusion energy startup with the goal of generating unlimited clean energy to responsibly meet future global demand. With the use and commercialization of laser-induced inertial fusion, a clean and highly efficient power generation technology is coming within reach, suitable to ensure a secure and scalable future energy supply. We are seeking a Performance Engineer to help elevate Systems Engineering by further and LDRS system performance here at Focused energy. This role focuses on the system level, combining customer and internal requirements into a highly functioning usable system. This individual will provide end‑to‑end ownership to define, maintain, and verify performance across the full product lifecycle. What you'll do: Own System Performance Across Product LifeCycle: - Define and maintain system level performance driven baselines (including neutron and x-ray output power, reproducibility, beam pointing and positioning, tolerances, stability, sensitivities). - Collaborate closely with customers and suppliers to derive future product requirements and translate them into system specifications. Assess System Stability and Sensitivities: - Develop and apply system-level models to analyze sensitivities to mechanical tolerances, thermal effects, and environmental and seismic influences. - Use Statistical methods (e.g. MonteCarlo) to quantify performance margins - Feed derived constraints and tradeoffs back into performance, layout, and integration baselines. - Maintain the necessary performance budgets on system level and break down requirements into component specifications. Lead Performance Driven Requirement Engineering in System Engineering: - Translate performance-driven requirements into specifications for realizable, verifiable and serializable system architectures. - Drive milestones and design reviews focused on performance maturity. - Contribute to engineering frameworks, documentation standards, and cross-functional processes.
