About Helion We are a fusion power company based in Everett, WA, with the mission to build the world's first fusion power plant, enabling a future with unlimited clean electricity.

Since Helion's founding in 2013, we have raised over $1 billion from long-time investors such as Sam Altman, Mithril, and Capricorn Investment Group as well as new investors SoftBank and Lightspeed to propel us forward.

- Coordinate Orion execution across science, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, commissioning, and operations readiness.
- Help subunit owners assemble and maintain an integrated Orion-level plan, while making clear that each owner remains responsible for their own schedule, scope, and commitments.
- Identify cross-team dependencies, interface risks, schedule conflicts, and unresolved ownership gaps.
- Ensure major technical decisions are surfaced quickly, framed clearly, and escalated to the right leader or executive when needed.
- Highlight technical tradeoffs involving performance, schedule, risk, manufacturability, cost, reliability, and operability.
- Drive the cadence for Orion coordination meetings, technical reviews, dependency reviews, and executive decision forums.
- Maintain visibility into the plant-level critical path by integrating inputs from responsible owners, not by replacing their ownership of detailed schedules.
- Track major risks, blockers, open decisions, and readiness gaps across the Orion program.
- Ensure decisions and changes are communicated clearly to all affected teams.
- Partner with systems engineering, integration engineering, production scheduling, and technical leads to connect their work into one coherent Orion execution picture.
- Provide a concise, accurate view of Orion status, including what is blocked, what decisions are needed, where risks are increasing, and where executive help is required.
- Build the TPM function for Orion as the program scales, including standards for dependency tracking, decision logs, risk reviews, readiness gates, and executive reporting.
