About Marvel Fusion

Marvel Fusion is on a mission to build the world’s first fusion power plant. Discover how our advanced laser fusion technology will deliver scalable, and globally competitive energy for generations to come. Backed by Earlybird Venture Capital.

About the role

We are looking for a highly capable Mechanical/ Optomechanical Engineer to join our team and take the lead in designing and optimizing large, ultra-stable optical mounts for high-energy, ultra-short-pulse laser systems. This role requires expertise in mechanical design, vibration and thermal analysis and precision kinematics. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Proven experience designing large, stable optical mounts or optomechanical assemblies for high-energy laser systems
  • Strong understanding of precision mechanical design and kinematics, including spatial and angular degrees of freedom, stiffness, backlash, repeatability, and alignment
  • Experience with thermal and thermo-mechanical simulation, including temperature gradients, thermal expansion, heat transfer, cooling concepts, and resulting structural deformation
  • Good understanding of engineering materials and their relevant properties, including CTE, stiffness, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, and vacuum compatibility
  • Proficiency in CAD and mechanical modeling (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor or similar), including thermal and vibrational analysis techniques
  • Ability to translate optical requirements into mechanical, thermal, positioning, and stability requirements and work effectively with optical engineers, physicists, controls engineers, and manufacturing teams
