Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Develops precision metrology and in-process inspection systems for fusion target components and assemblies. Designs inspection fixtures, analyzes micron-level measurements, establishes scalable metrology capabilities and data workflows, qualifies equipment, and integrates inspection processes into manufacturing operations. Collaborates with scientists, engineers, and technicians to resolve quality issues and improve fabrication yields.

Lead end-to-end mechanical design, 3D CAD modeling, structural and thermal analysis, tolerance analysis, and system integration for complex fusion hardware. Translate physics requirements into robust components, apply DFM/DFA principles, prepare GD&T drawings and design reviews, and provide cross-functional technical leadership across physics, systems engineering, and manufacturing teams.

Own end-to-end manufacturing processes for pulser module assembly, including work instructions, tooling, fixturing, production documentation, and acceptance. Lead technicians, resolve non-conformances through root cause analysis, partner with design engineering on DFM improvements, track production metrics, manage build schedules, and support scale-up from prototype to higher-volume production. The role requires hands-on experience with complex electromechanical hardware, machining, quality systems, engineering drawings, and fast-paced startup manufacturing.

Implement and maintain security controls across cloud, SaaS, and endpoints. Manage MDM and endpoint protection, enforce identity and access policies (MFA/conditional access), investigate and remediate incidents, document controls and evidence, and support System Security Plan development and compliance activities.

Architect and implement full‑stack systems for data acquisition, storage, APIs, and React front ends to support pulser factory and Demonstration System workflows. Define database schemas, design UIs (Figma), build data pipelines and streaming integrations, and lead a team to accelerate experiment-to-analysis decision cycles.

Lead accounting and financial operations including monthly close and financial statements, oversee accounts payable/receivable and payroll, produce quarterly plan-vs-actual reporting and forecasts, perform ad hoc financial analysis, drive process improvements, and support development of a six-person accounting team.

Lead design, analysis, and validation of structural and mechanical systems for fusion machine installation and operations. Develop temporary and permanent support structures, foundations, seismic restraints, vibration isolation, test stands, and lifting equipment. Perform FEA and detailed mechanical analysis, ensure code compliance, coordinate with contractors and multidisciplinary teams, and support constructability and manufacturing.

Lead end-to-end mechanical design, analysis, integration, and validation of precision diagnostic instrumentation for pulsed fusion. Deliver CAD and GD&T drawings, perform FEA (structural and thermal), design optomechanical, motion, and thermal management solutions for vacuum and radiation environments, manage PDM/PLM configuration, drive prototypes to commissioning, and mentor junior engineers.

Lead end-to-end delivery and precision assembly of fusion targets, coordinating cross-functional teams, designing assembly fixtures and tooling, establishing project timelines to scale prototypes into high-throughput production, and overseeing quality control and documentation to meet micron-level tolerances and inspection standards.

Design and implement industrial control systems: develop requirements, electrical schematics, PLC/HMI programs, and integrate VFDs/servo drives. Ensure compliance with NFPA and IEC 61511 standards, support testing, commissioning, and documentation for safety-critical systems.
