Zap Energy

Zap Energy is a company focused on developing a commercially viable fusion energy technology. Their unique approach utilizes a "sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch" method, which bypasses the need for expensive and complex magnetic coils traditionally used in fusion research. This innovative approach makes Zap Energy's technology more compact, scalable, and potentially cost-effective than conventional fusion methods. Zap Energy has been generating verified fusion plasmas since 2018 and has achieved significant milestones, including exceeding 37 million degrees Celsius in their FuZE device and achieving a record-breaking neutron yield.

Zap Energy is based in Washington state, a hub for fusion energy development. The company has a strong team of over one hundred members and is backed by leading financial and strategic investors, including Addition, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and Chevron Technology Ventures. They are actively working on developing their technology and are committed to publishing their research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Zap Energy's vision is to deliver a clean, safe, and abundant energy source to the world, making a positive impact on the planet and future generations.

Zap Energy offers a variety of benefits, including paid time off, parental leave, and professional development opportunities.

Zap Energy offers competitive benefits to its employees, including market-competitive compensation, comprehensive health insurance coverage (medical, dental, and vision), a 401k plan with company matching, employee stock options, generous paid time off (holidays, vacation, and sick time), paid parental leave, and opportunities for professional development and fitness reimbursement.

Zap Energy is a fusion energy company committed to developing a commercially viable, low-cost, and scalable fusion energy technology.
