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. 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. WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION - You will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. - You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. - Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey. - Get to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent. YOUR IMPACT As a Design Automation Engineer at Proxima, you will develop geometric representations of different stellarator components. Such models will be used to assess integration challenges across components, for high-fidelity finite-element analysis, and as a basis for more detailed geometry. Engineering design at Proxima includes three elements: CAD models are parametrized in terms of design-relevant parameters, the geometry is constructed using mathematical algorithms, and finally coded and automated in Python. Harnessing the Proxima way of automated engineering design, you will effectively model different stellarator components, supporting the team with fast iterations on the stellarator design. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Develop and implement computational methods for the creation of CAD models of different components of a stellarator. - Work closely with spline/NURBS-based representations. - Interface with commercial CAD software to streamline further geometrical development. - Assist with CAD modelling of different systems and components of the stellarator using conventional CAD software. - Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure accurate geometrical representation for simulation and prototyping. WHO YOU ARE - Passionate about computational geometry and 3D modelling. - Proficient in Python. - Experienced with CAD-as-code (like OpenCascade or CadQuery). - Experienced with commercial CAD software (like CATIA or Solidworks). - Hold a degree in engineering, science or a related discipline. - Proactive in understanding problems, suggesting and testing solutions. 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.
