The Applied Technologies business area of Fisica Inc, in San Leandro, CA focuses on developing cutting edge pulsed power systems, x-ray radiation sources, high-voltage switches & power-conditioning components. These core technologies are applied to build systems for flash x-ray imaging, electron beam sterilization, and for simulating radiation environments, such as space or a nuclear blast, to study how electronics, optics, and materials are affected by x-ray radiation. The largest pulsed power systems built here produce millions of amps at millions of volts, delivered within nanoseconds. Succeeding in these fast-paced, demanding conditions requires being able to manage a talented team of curious, passionate scientists, designers, technicians, and engineers as well as coordinate across multiple support disciplines (e.g. contracts, procurement, quality, finance/accounting, etc.). Fisica conducts both R&D and manufacturing to serve a mix of government and commercial customers.
