The paid internship, with a $44,590 starting salary, typically requires enrollment as an undergraduate student at a recognized university or college.
General Atomics recently made headlines after the Department of Energy awarded $2.3 million to fund public private partnerships for fusion energy development. The company is working to develop a heat exhaust divertor for a tokamak – a device that is heated to 100 million degrees Celcius to create plasma. General Atomics says it envisions a Fusion Energy Pilot Plant with advanced tokamak design that would provide sustainable energy without any harmful emissions.
The Adelanto-based internship position will be on the Manufacturing Engineering team. Manufacturing positions at General Atomics include assemblers, machinists, material and production control, composite technicians, coordinators, planners and stock clerks.
