WHO WE ARE
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.
YOUR IMPACT
As an integral part of our team, you will develop superconducting magnet concepts within the context of stellarator design. These magnets push on the boundaries of what is possible and represent a hugely cross-disciplinary engineering challenge. We are looking for an engineer with experience in electromagnetic system design to contribute to this critical component of a stellarator power plant.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Exploring superconducting magnet concepts within the context of stellarator design;
- Collaborating closely with our team of mechanical engineers, HTS experts, and physicists;
- Partnering with industrial collaborators to develop lab tests and hardware prototypes;
- Evaluating high-level systems concepts, conducting trade studies between components;
- Integrating new technologies and novel concepts to elevate fusion to new levels of performance and feasibility.
WHO YOU ARE
- Experienced in electro-mechanical design, including high-field magnets, electric motors, and battery systems;
- Knowledgeable in cryogenic and/or vacuum systems;
- Proficient in multi-physics modeling, particularly electromagnetic, structural, and thermal analysis;
- Experienced in conceptual design exploration and reduced order analysis;
- Skilled in prototype device development from concept;
- [Nice to have] Experienced in instrumentation;
INTERVIEW PROCESS
- Recruiter Interview (30-60 min)
- Technical Screening (30 min)
- Technical Panel (3x60 min)
- CEO call (30 min)
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.
