Munich, Germany

YOUR IMPACT

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Plasma Physicist to join our stellarator design team at Proxima Fusion. We are designing a net-energy stellarator as a research and engineering platform on the path toward a fusion power plant.

This role is crucial to driving our mission to design, build, and operate the device. As a Plasma Physicist, you will lead the conceptualization and development of key scientific analysis workflows and contribute to novel research in magnetic confinement fusion.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Contribute to the definition of requirements and conceptualize the design of critical stellarator components such as heating systems and divertors.
• Develop and enhance our physics and engineering simulation stack.
• Collaborate with partners from public institutions to foster innovation and knowledge exchange.
• Mentor team members and guide them in achieving project milestones.

WHO YOU ARE

• We are looking for high performers who love challenges and see these as learning opportunities.
• It is important not to be afraid to experiment, take risks and learn from mistakes. We believe in continuous iterations and getting things done.
• Hold a PhD in Plasma Physics, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on magnetic confinement fusion - preferably on a toroidal confinement device.
• Have demonstrated expertise in one or more of the following areas: core transport, plasma heating, MHD, edge physics, or scenario development.
• Possess strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.
• Have excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
