WHO WE ARE Proxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion company and the continent’s best-funded fusion player, as well as the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich, Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion power plant.Our concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation machines: Alpha and Stellaris. Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach.Turning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.TEAM & ROLEArchitect a breakthrough energy technology – Play a defining role in designing and integrating the systems that will power the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion plant, influencing decisions that shape the future of clean energy.Solve some of the most complex engineering challenges in fusion – Work across magnet design, HTS technology, manufacturing, structural integration, and controls, turning cutting-edge science into real hardwareMove fast and build what matters – Join a highly ambitious, multidisciplinary team that combines cutting‑edge simulation with hands‑on engineering, turning bold ideas into real hardware on the path to commercial fusion.WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSIONYou will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. You'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. Do your life’s best work and enjoy the journey. Get to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent.YOUR IMPACTYou will support the industrialisation of production processes for magnet production, contributing directly to the execution of key activities within Proxima’s magnet program. You will play a central role in designing, testing and scaling up a wide array of production processes such as welding, bonding, sealing and coating. You will be part of the team bridging manufacturing technology for first prototypes to full scale manufacturing. You will operate across a wide range of technical tasks, from design and engineering to hands on production work, and collaborating closely with engineers and technicians.WHAT YOU WILL DODefine the requirements for industrialised manufacturing equipment and processes, to ensure performance, repeatability and safe operationContribute to the development of in process monitoring and non destructive testingHelp to determine and justify quality requirements to ensure smooth manufacturing while keeping the required product performanceDesign jigs and tools for magnet industrialised productionCollaborate closely with engineers and technicians across multiple teamsWHO YOU AREA master ́s degree in mechanical, mechatronics or similar engineering fieldA wide experience in manufacturing process development, process monitoring and non destructive testing in an industrial settingStrong hands‑on experience in production environments over a wide range of production processes (for ex. welding, machining, assembly, bonding)Hands on experience in prototyping and testingProficient in creating development plans from start to finish for a new processExperience in trouble‑shooting issues as they arise on production linesAbility to work across a variety of tasks in a dynamic environmentReliable, proactive, and solution‑oriented mindsetStrong team player, able to collaborate closely with engineers and technical staffA high performer who loves challenges and is not afraid to experiment, take risks and learn from mistakes.NICE TO HAVEFamiliarity in both prototype manufacturing and industrial manufacturingComfortable with CAD: good knowledge of Catia V5 or 3DExperience are considered as a plusA background in product testing and qualification in a regulated industry is a plusExposure to SCADA systems or MES integrationKnowledge of safety standards and risk assessments in automated environmentsINTERVIEW PROCESSRecruiter Interview (30-60 min) Technical Screening (30 min) Technical Panel (3x60 min) *This role sits at L2 of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information.At Proxima Fusion, our mission is bold: making limitless clean energy a reality. To get there, we need a high-performing, diverse team that brings different perspectives, challenges assumptions, and builds together with purpose. We know that diversity of thought and experience leads to better ideas, stronger execution, and a more resilient team. We don’t look at how you identify, what you look like, who you choose to worship or what ethnicity you are. We care about what you can bring to the table. #J-18808-Ljbffr
