Zürich, Schweiz Proxima Fusion GmbH Vollzeit

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.

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.

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

YOUR IMPACT

At Proxima Fusion, we are advancing stellarator technology to build machines that will contribute to a sustainable energy future. Our current focus is Proxima Alpha, an intermediate step toward a full fusion power plant, with completion targeted for 2031. This project represents a significant leap in engineering and plasma physics, following in the footsteps of the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator prototype, and will have a comparable scale. Proxima Alpha is a large-scale engineering challenge that demands efficient, thoughtful design, detailed planning, and timely execution.

We are concluding the preliminary concept phase and moving into the conceptual design phase of Proxima Alpha. As a Senior Structural Mechanical Engineer, you will play an integral role in shaping the engineering design of support structures, the vacuum vessel, thermal shields, and gravity supports.
