Our Story
Who we are
Two decades of precision engineering for fusion and beyond
Woodruff Engineering designs and manufactures high-performance magnets and power supply systems for the fusion energy and advanced industrial sectors. From our headquarters at the Midtown Innovation Campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, we support fusion and research programs across the United States and internationally.
The company was founded in 2004 by Dr. Simon Woodruff, formerly a post-doctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with a simple mission: to do something useful in fusion. Starting in Seattle, Washington, and relocating to Santa Fe in 2017, we have grown from a boutique scientific instrumentation provider into a critical supplier to next-generation fusion power initiatives.

Our journey
From the laboratory to the fusion power plant
2004
Founded
Established in Seattle, Washington, to build advanced power supplies and magnets for plasma and fusion research.
2017
Santa Fe
Relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, building strong collaborations with local enterprises and educational institutions.
Today
Fusion infrastructure
Delivering megajoule-class capacitor banks, high-field water-cooled magnets and custom power systems, integrated from design through delivery.
Next
Commercial scale
Developing HTS confinement magnets and modular pulsed-power systems for the first generation of commercial fusion reactors.
Our expertise
Engineering heritage
Many of our engineers trained at Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories and at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Across every project we apply rigorous, ISO-based risk mitigation processes and precision engineering standards.
Our systems are built for demanding environments, from laboratory plasma devices to industrial test facilities, and are now being scaled for the commercial fusion market, where demand is growing rapidly for multi-meter-scale magnets and modular megajoule pulsed-power systems.
Looking ahead
Building for scale
- High-temperature superconducting (HTS) confinement magnets with complex 3D coil geometries, cryogenic cooling and nuclear shielding
- AI-driven simulation and design optimization with our partner nTtau Digital
- Automated assembly and production-line robotics with FusionTech Robotics
- Robust domestic manufacturing and supply chains
- Developing the next generation of engineers through internships with Santa Fe Community College and UNM
Our values
What we stand for
Quality
Every power supply and magnet is engineered for precision, performance and reliability, and manufactured to exacting standards in the USA.
Commitment
We stay engaged with our customers from first concept through delivery and beyond, until every system performs as it should.
Integrity
We give honest technical assessments and realistic commitments, and we stand behind the systems we deliver.
Communication
Clear, regular communication keeps our customers informed at every stage, from specification and design review to test and handover.
“We’ve been building for 20 years — and now fusion is building us.”
