Job description

About Focused Energy Focused Energy is building the future of clean energy through laser-driven inertial fusion. Backed by our $240M Series A - the largest fully secured Series A in the global fusion industry we are scaling rapidly across multiple geographies. Based in Germany and the US, we have brought together the top scientific and engineering minds using proven technologies to unlock fusion power at commercial scale. Focused Energy is working to realize game-changing scientific innovation that promises to deliver a clean, sustainable and abundant source of power globally. About the Role As a Mechanical Engineer – CAD & Engineering Support, you’ll produce high-quality mechanical models, drawings, and engineering documentation across Focused Energy’s projects. This is a hands-on role focused on translating design intent into accurate, well-structured CAD outputs that support manufacture, supplier engagement, assembly, and project delivery. You’ll work across a range of technically demanding systems, including laser systems, vacuum equipment, diagnostic mounting structures, and facility mechanical infrastructure. Working closely with senior mechanical engineers and multidisciplinary project teams, you’ll provide practical design support while helping maintain consistent CAD standards, drawing conventions, and engineering documentation across the team. What You’ll Do Develop detailed 3D models and 2D engineering drawings using Autodesk Inventor or an equivalent 3D CAD tool. Produce manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, layout models, parts lists, BOMs, and drawing registers to a high engineering standard. Maintain and update CAD models and associated documentation as designs evolve throughout the project lifecycle. Support the design and development of mechanical systems such as vacuum chambers, laser system integration, diagnostic structures, and facility infrastructure. Identify and resolve design clashes, interface issues, documentation gaps, and inconsistencies within CAD assemblies. Prepare complete drawing packages and technical documentation for supplier quotation, manufacture, procurement, and design reviews. Review supplier drawings and documentation, support the resolution of technical queries, and communicate design status and outstanding actions clearly. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, and systems engineers to support in…
