Build the future
of clean energy

We’re looking for brilliant people who want to change the world.

Mission-driven

Our mission is to build the world’s first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity.

We embrace a set of five core values that guide every decision we make and every challenge we pursue.

Create working solutions that are effective and efficient. Deliver high-caliber results that meet or exceed expectations. Be reliable.

Be the best at what you do. Dive deeper than anyone else and communicate your knowledge well. Make everyone around you better. Be technically rigorous and take ownership.

Do what others say is impossible. See risks as opportunities to accomplish what no one has before. Embrace diversity of thought. Innovate. Expect to make mistakes; own them, learn from them, teach from them.

To deliver fusion power to the world, Helion must be trusted, respected, and admired. As representatives of Helion, we each must uphold those same standards. Show humility. Be Honest. Be Kind. Be a good teammate.

Making the world a better place. For everyone, with everyone.

We believe fusion energy can truly change the world. It will solve climate change on a global scale and ensure energy independence while making electricity more affordable than ever before. Ultimately, we are striving to make the world a better place for everyone.


For us, that starts in the workplace.


We believe everyone deserves equal treatment, opportunities, and rights, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, or background. We understand everyone's experience at work is different and it is our goal to foster a positive environment that celebrates equality for all. We continue to listen to one another so we can grow together and make the world a better place.
