Summary

Fuse is on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to fusion energy. We are building an impactful device that has the potential to be a positive, step function change for our species. We are just getting started, but already moving fast.

When you come onboard Fuse as a Ignition Physicist you will develop the most thorough, theoretical understanding of the plasma as you design its thermo- and gas-dynamics trajectory towards ignition. You will use whatever tricks of the trade that exist, or invent them when needed, to wrangle the plasma to be burned.

That being said, you will be joining Phase 1 of Fuse. Therefore, you will have the chance to wear all sorts of hats and learn a lot about different disciplines: plasma physics, mechanical engineering, computational data science, manufacturing, machining, etc.

Qualifications

• Plasma physics or astrophysics background
• Experience in written or oral communication of research in the above
• Work experience in one (1) or more of the following, or closely adjacent subjects:
  • Equations of state (EOS)
  • Plasma stability, disruptions, and nonlinear dynamics
  • Plasma heating and cooling
  • Radiative processes in plasma physics or astrophysics
  • Tokamaks, inertial confinement, or other ignition pathways
• Comfort in taking part in live debate of theory or implementation of the above

Additional desirable Skills:

• Experience working with computational models of plasmas
  • The above, especially with parallelizable algorithms
  • The above, on high performance computing (HPC) machines
• Experience working with learning algorithms
  • The above, especially applied to plasma physics or astrophysics
  • The above, especially applied to ignition pathways
• General programming experience

Compensation and Benefits

Kick-ass computer We skimp on furniture (in fact, you'll probably have to build your own desk), but we arm you with the best systems and cloud computing resources available.

Fuseville Welcome to Fuseville. Such a lovely place. Any time of year, collisions are happening here. It's actually bare-bones, communal living, but charming nonetheless. Memories will be made here.

Food Join us for daily lunches freshly cooked by our chef. A kitchen at your disposal. You can eat anytime, anything.

Team Everyone on the team has skin in the game. We only hire the top 1% so you’ll be working with the very best and brightest, most passionate team you've ever seen.

Equity Remember, having equity in the company means that you own a part of what you’re building and are the master of your own success. It's worth what we can all make it worth.

About Us

Fuse is on a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to fusion energy. We are an early stage startup, still in stealth mode based near Montreal, Canada. We are looking for humble, passionate, first-principled, and frugal individuals to join us!
