About the job

WHO WE ARE

At Proxima Fusion, we are on a mission to revolutionize sustainable energy. Our innovative approach, centered around the cutting-edge W7-X stellarator and the latest technological advancements, aims to create commercially viable fusion power plants.

Our focus on stellarator optimization, enhanced by advanced computation and machine learning, is leading us into new realms of fusion technology. We are unlocking unprecedented performance levels with high-temperature superconducting magnets.

To seize this enormous opportunity, we are assembling a dedicated team of passionate individuals committed to driving extraordinary innovations that radically transform global technology.

WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION

  • Engage with some of the most intricate technological challenges to deliver abundant, safe, and clean energy worldwide.

  • Collaborate and learn from a remarkable group of accomplished and driven professionals.

  • Contribute to impactful work and enjoy the journey of innovation.

  • Demonstrate that remarkable achievements are possible in Europe by uniting top talent.

YOUR IMPACT

You will define the plasma operating scenarios for Alpha, Proxima's Q>1 experimental stellarator, and Stellaris, our commercial power plant design. This includes determining the methods for heating, fueling, and controlling the plasma to achieve targeted conditions, as well as planning the sequence of experiments required.

Utilize and enhance Proxima's integrated modeling tools, validating them against W7-X data, and apply them to forecast the performance of Alpha and Stellaris. When Alpha is operational, you will play a key role in planning discharges and analyzing results.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Develop plasma operating scenarios for Alpha and Stellaris, outlining target parameters, heating and fueling strategies, and experimental sequences in close collaboration with heating, fueling, diagnostics, plasma control, and engineering teams.

  • Apply and enhance Proxima’s integrated modeling tools to predict plasma behavior (including neoclassical and turbulent transport, energetic particle confinement, MHD stability, impurity transport, and island divertor physics), ensuring that outputs are applicable for integrated scenario and engineering design.

  • Engage in planning, executing, and analyzing experiments to validate plasma scenarios and contribute to the advancement of fusion technology.
