Electrical Technician, Magnet Systems

ph3WHO WE ARE /h3 pProxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion company and the continent’s best-funded fusion player, as well as the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich, Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion power plant. /p pOur concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation machines: Alpha and Stellaris. Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach. /p pTurning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.br/ /p h3TEAM AND ROLE /h3 ul lipbArchitect a breakthrough energy technology /b – Play a defining role in designing and integrating the systems that will power the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion plant, influencing decisions that shape the future of clean energy. /p /li lipbSolve some of the most complex engineering challenges in fusion /b – Work across magnet design, HTS technology, manufacturing, structural integration, and controls, turning cutting-edge science into real hardware /p /li lipbMove fast and build what matters /b – Join a highly ambitious, multidisciplinary team that combines cutting-edge simulation with hands‑on engineering, turning bold ideas into real hardware on the path to commercial fusion. /p /li /ul h3WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION /h3 ul lipYou will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. /p /li lipYou'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. /p /li lipDo your life’s best work and enjoy the journey. /p /li lipGet to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent. /p /li /ul h3YOUR IMPACT /h3 pWe are looking for an bElectrical Technician /b to support our RD activities across our sites in Villigen and Böttstein, Aargau.
