At Proxima Fusion, we're driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our unique concept, built upon the groundbreaking W7-X stellarator and the latest advances in technology, paves the way for commercially viable fusion power plants.

What’s more, our work in stellarator optimization, powered by cutting-edge computation and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. New higher performance design points are unlocked by high temperature superconducting magnets.

To fully grasp this huge opportunity, we’re building a team of extremely dedicated and passionate people who come together driving something extraordinary, radically transforming technology in the world.

- You will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world

- You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals

- Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey

- Get to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Materials Scientist to play a vital role in the development of our high-temperature superconducting magnet technology. Your support in materials selection and process development will contribute directly to the development of stellarator fusion power plants. If you’re eager to work in a fast-paced R&D environment this could be the role for you.

- Selecting and developing materials and processes (e.g., coating or impregnation) to meet design criteria.

- Designing and implementing lab tests and hardware prototypes.

- Verifying material properties at cryogenic temperatures.

- Developing quality control measures and metrics for manufacturing superconducting magnets.

- Working directly with suppliers and collaboration partners.

- A materials scientist with strong industry experience or a PhD in materials science with some industrial experience.

- Experienced in tuning of properties and process development of cryogenic materials or for superconducting applications (e.g., insulating materials, composites, and epoxies).

- Knowledgeable in materials characterization techniques, including electrical measurements (e.g., resistivity, dielectric properties) and mechanical testing (e.g., tensile, shear, fatigue at cryogenic temperatures).

- Excited to apply modern manufacturing techniques to unusual challenges, including prototype development and first-of-a-kind projects.

- Experienced in cross-disciplinary integration of materials in advanced technology applications.

At Proxima Fusion, our mission is bold: making limitless clean energy a reality. To get there, we need a high-performing, diverse team that brings different perspectives, challenges assumptions, and builds together with purpose. We know that diversity of thought and experience leads to better ideas, stronger execution, and a more resilient team. We don’t look at how you identify, what you look like, who you choose to worship or what ethnicity you are. We care about what you can bring to the table.
