Manufacturing Engineer

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.

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 and we're leveraging this technology with advanced computational design capabilities.

We're on a journey to redefine the energy landscape, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer experienced with advanced fabrication techniques. Join us to contribute to the multi-disciplinary design of components for stellarator fusion power plants, in particular large-scale, high-field superconducting magnets. Your efforts will directly improve the feasibility of our designs and the scalability of our manufacturing capabilities, essential for advancing our mission to harness fusion energy.

• A mechanical or manufacturing engineer with a passion for innovation;
• Proficient in design for manufacture, the development of manufacturing processes and managing projects entering production;
• Experienced with advanced fabrication techniques for complex metal components and high-strength alloys;
• Familiar with materials and design considerations for vacuum or cryogenic environments;
• Fluent in mechanical engineering fundamentals (e.g. statics, dynamics, materials) and skilled in engineering modelling and simulation (e.g. structural or thermal analysis);

• Collaborating across engineering design teams in order to improve manufacturability;
• Partnering with industrial collaborators to research capabilities, develop advanced fabrication techniques and enhance manufacturing processes;
• Validate novel combinations of processes on small scale prototypes;
• Supporting risk management for large-scale stellarator coil production.

• Fulfilling Mission: Work on harnessing the universe's fundamental energy source that powers the stars. If you want to contribute directly to transforming the way we produce energy in the world, Proxima is the place to be.
• Incredible Team: Join a mission-driven, team-oriented, excellence-seeking team from all over the globe. We're working on fusion to change the world and we thrive in a supportive and rewarding environment.
• World-Leading Partners: We are supported by internationally renowned groups, industrial companies and technical advisors with experience built on groundbreaking fusion experiments.
• Shared Success: Live the success of the company by taking part in a generous stock options program. We aim for every team member to feel a shared sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride.
• Healthy Environment: We take care of each other, while pushing ourselves to our best - we are on a marathon, not a sprint. We offer language courses for team members and their families. Every team member receives a ticket for free public transport in Munich and on all regional trains in Germany.
