Marathon Fusion
A Controls Intern at Marathon Fusion works on integrating software with hardware systems to control and measure plasma properties. The role involves designing experiments, building measurement systems, and developing software for laboratory instruments.
Marathon Fusion is a fusion energy startup founded in 2023 by Adam Rutkowski (a former SpaceX propulsion engineer and Princeton plasma physics PhD candidate) and Kyle Schiller (a former Schmidt Futures science policy fellow). The company develops fuel-cycle technologies to accelerate fusion energy with better economics, organized around three pillars: transmutation (neutron-driven production of radioisotopes and gold as a second value stream), advanced fuel processing (to improve tritium burn efficiency and processing speed), and isotope separation (supplying critical materials for fusion and other industrial applications). Marathon Fusion is supported by US Department of Energy awards, the Breakthrough Energy Fellows program, and leading investors including 1517 Fund and Strong Atomics.
