Mechanical Engineering Undergrad Seeking an Entrance to Fusion

I am a rising senior ME undergrad looking to get into the fusion space. I am not sure what the best direction to go in. I have been looking at some startups (Thea, Commonwealth, etc) but it seems I may not have enough experience in fusion-related technologies. Thus, I am looking at graduate programs but am unsure of the direction to go in. Does anyone know of good graduate programs (probably masters?) that have a good applied/engineering context and good connections with an actual experiment to work on. I think I am interested in working on stellarators if that helps at all, but am willing to get whatever experience is best.

TIA!
