Proxima Fusion
This role focuses on validating Proxima Fusion's predictive plasma models against experimental data from the W7-X stellarator to ensure the credibility of simulations for future commercial power plants. The position involves reconstructing plasma states from diagnostic measurements, analyzing discrepancies, and extending the integrated modeling stack to support Alpha's operational critical path. The successful candidate will serve as a technical interface between modeling and experimental teams, driving reproducibility and uncertainty quantification in physics validation.
Proxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion startup, building the first generation of fusion power plants using quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators. They combine stellarator optimization, high-temperature superconducting magnets, and advanced computational design, drawing on decades of magnetic confinement fusion research and experience from the W7-X IPP program. Their Stellaris program advances scalable, robust stellarator concepts designed to deliver grid-scale fusion energy with a clear path to commercialization. The company aims to power the future with clean, safe, abundant fusion energy across Europe.
