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.
As a Senior Stellarator Design Scientist, you will be responsible for the core of the stellarator: how to design the 3D magnetic fields that confine burning plasmas. Shape and advance reactor-relevant stellarator configurations, exploring equilibria and electromagnetic coil system designs that thoughtfully balance physics performance, engineering realities, and economic drivers.
Operate at the intersection of physics and engineering, helping to bring together magnetic field requirements and hardware considerations into a coherent, end-to-end stellarator design approach.
Build and evolve the tools that underpin stellarator design at Proxima Fusion, contributing to shared, production-grade platforms that enable confident, data-driven decisions across physics and engineering teams.
High Performer: You thrive on solving complex, multi-physics challenges and view technical roadblocks as opportunities for professional growth.
Iterative Mindset: You are not afraid to experiment, take calculated risks, and learn from design failures. Technically Credentialed: You hold a PhD (or a research-focused Master’s) in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering, with a specific focus on stellarator design, MHD equilibrium, or coils optimization.
Software Proficient: You possess strong knowledge of Python software development and are familiar with modern collaborative coding practices (e.g.,
