Proxima Fusion
As a Computational Physicist at Proxima Fusion, you will develop and implement advanced numerical models that characterize fusion plasma behavior, focusing on designing, validating, and optimizing simulation tools. This hands-on technical role requires expertise in building scientific code using languages such as Python, Julia, C++, or Fortran, as well as utilizing modern development practices and LLM-based tools to enhance code quality and performance. You will collaborate with modellers and engineers to ensure stellarator designs meet plasma confinement requirements, while validating models against theoretical and experimental data.
Proxima Fusion is Europe's fastest-growing fusion startup, building the first generation of fusion power plants using quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators—the clearest path to putting fusion on the grid. The company leverages decades of research in magnetic confinement fusion, combining advances in stellarator optimization, computational design, and high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology with the expertise behind the record-breaking Wendelstein 7-X stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. As the first-ever spin-out from the Max Planck IPP, Proxima Fusion is leading Europe into a new era of clean, safe, and abundant fusion energy.
