About the role

We’re looking for someone who can help bring our high temperature superconducting cable to the world. You will work at the intersection of technical sales, market development, and long term strategy. If you enjoy diving into the details of advanced technology, identifying where it fits, and building the relationships needed to get it deployed, you will thrive here.

What You’ll Be Doing

Identifying and developing opportunities for our HTS cable across power distribution, data centers, maritime, defense, and emerging industrial sectors.
Building strategic partnerships with hyperscalers, OEMs, EPCs, shipyards, and government programs.
Leading the early sales cycle from technical introduction through requirements gathering, scoping, and pilot deployments.
Translating customer needs into clear engineering requirements and working closely with our technical team to shape product direction.
Representing Maritime Fusion at conferences, customer meetings, site visits, and government or industry roundtables.
Creating materials that help explain our technology including pitch decks, technical briefs, case studies, and early proposals.
Helping us map the HTS ecosystem including suppliers, integrators, standards bodies, and regulatory pathways.
Driving outbound engagement, prospecting new verticals, and refining our go to market plan as we scale.

What You Bring

Comfort translating complex technical ideas into clear value propositions for customers and decision makers.
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with executives, engineers, procurement teams, and government stakeholders.
A track record of identifying new markets or partnerships and moving them from idea to opportunity.

Maritime Fusion is building fusion reactors for ships and off grid energy markets. En route on this endeavor we’re commercializing High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable technology for power distribution while advancing the physics basis of our HTS tokamak to decarbonize global shipping.

Breakeven fusion is coming soon, but the first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors will be costly, high maintenance, and have low capacity factors, leading to 5–10x higher electricity cost on the grid. Maritime Fusion is pursuing the most widely accepted approach to fusion, the tokamak, but specifically designed for the marine environment where the challenges that arise between breakeven and a commercially viable energy source are alleviated. The market we're targeting requires 15x less power, lower up-time, and costs the same as alternative fuels but without any emissions. Since fusion does not use highly radioactive fuels or materials – unlike fission – we sidestep the vast majority of regulatory challenges and safety risks associated with nuclear energy. Our team brings over a decade of industry and research experience in plasma physics, nuclear engineering, and electrical engineering with backgrounds at SpaceX, Tesla, Columbia University, and University of Pennsylvania.
