A rewarding, fast-paced environment - Mechanical Design Engineer Type One Energy Employee Review

Since joining the company in August 2024, the team and environment at Type One Energy (T1E) have been extremely welcoming and supportive in getting me up to speed. The most noticeable aspect of my job has been that management has given me many opportunities to push myself and take ownership of projects with the necessary support to succeed.

I would say there haven't been many downsides to working for Type One. If you are a young scientist looking to take an industrial route into the fusion space, Type One is a top tier company.

Type One Energy is a new company whose mission is to commercialize fusion power and deliver electricity to the grid. The company has made creating a healthy culture for the employees a priority and acknowledges and is focusing on ensuring the overlooked and impoverished communities will also have access to fusion energy in the future. I really appreciate the effort that is being made in these areas when so many other commercial companies seem to be throwing DEIA out with the bathwater which is disappointing. The hiring team was welcoming and the compensation offered was very competitive, All of this, in addition to a hybrid work policy and the exciting work of inventing a new energy sector, makes Type One Energy a great place to work.

The benefits package for the company may be changing soon as they are always working to improve, but at this time sick leave is taken out of PTO and PTO doesn't increase annually, it remains the same until after 10 years of service.
