About the job
WHO WE ARE
At Proxima Fusion, we are on a groundbreaking mission to revolutionize sustainable energy. Our innovative approach, leveraging the state-of-the-art W7-X stellarator and cutting-edge technology advancements, sets the stage for commercially viable fusion power plants.
Our efforts in stellarator optimization utilize advanced computation and machine learning, enabling us to explore new frontiers in fusion technology. High-performance design points are achieved using high-temperature superconducting magnets.
To seize this monumental opportunity, we are assembling a team of highly dedicated and passionate individuals who are committed to driving extraordinary changes in technology.
WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION
Impact: Engage in pioneering work at the forefront of energy science.
Environment: Collaborate within the PSI ecosystem alongside some of the leading experts in superconductivity.
Flexibility: As an early addition to our department, your influence on the tools we employ and the culture we cultivate will be significant.
YOUR IMPACT
At Proxima Fusion, we are designing the next generation of fusion power plants that will deliver clean, carbon-free energy to the world. Central to our reactor design are the superconducting coils, which must function under extreme conditions, near absolute zero temperatures and significant mechanical stress.
We are seeking a multifaceted engineer to join our team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). You will be responsible for developing the instrumentation and testing infrastructure essential for validating our magnet prototypes. From selecting sensors for cryogenic environments to coding real-time dashboards for test runs, your contributions will directly accelerate the journey to commercial fusion.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Your role encompasses conceptual design, the development of modeling and analysis tools, and hands-on experimental work. You will engage in instrumentation, testing, and software development across three primary domains:
1. Instrumentation Design for Superconducting Devices
