About the role
As a Computational Physicist at Fuse, you'll develop the models and simulations that explore how our pulsed-power systems actually behave — turning physics, mathematics, and computational methods into predictions the team can build on. Develop and run simulations for pulsed-power systems using MHD, PIC, and circuit models.
What they're looking for
- Ph.D. or M.S. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related field
- Strong background in computational plasma physics and high-energy-density physics
- Experience with Screamer, MAGIC, HYDRA, or similar circuit and plasma codes
- Proficiency in MHD and PIC simulation techniques
- Strong programming skills in Python, Fortran, C++, or MATLAB for numerical modeling
- Experience with HPC environments and parallel computing
More about this role
We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.
