Fuse is building a MagLIF fusion facility with Impedance Matched Marx Generator drivers and builds an in-house computational physics capability. The Computational Plasma Physicist will run and develop PIC and MHD simulations of MagLIF, Z-pinch and HEDP experiments, working with experimental, pulsed-power and target teams. The posting requires Fortran, C++, Python and HPC experience.
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.
Fuse is the first private company building a fusion facility based on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF), an approach proven through a decade of simulation and experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. Our work spans Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG) drivers, MagLIF and the broader high-energy-density physics (HEDP) that governs how our machines compress and heat fusion fuel. We are building an in-house computational physics capability to model that physics end to end, from the pulsed-power driver to the imploding load to the fusion burn. As a Computational Plasma Physicist, you will develop and apply PIC and MHD simulations of MagLIF, Z-pinch and HEDP experiments, working shoulder to shoulder with our experimental, pulsed-power and target teams to interpret what we measure and design what we build next. This is a high-ownership role with direct influence on our experimental program and machine design.
