Technician

ppAt Proxima Fusion, we’re driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our work in stellarator optimization, powered by computing and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. /p h3YOUR IMPACT /h3 pAs a technician, you’ll be at the center of our operations in our workshops based in Villigen Böttstein. /p pYou will support the manufacturing and integration of magnet prototypes and experimental setups, contributing directly to the execution of key activities within Proxima’s magnet program. /p pYou will play a central role in workshop operations, enabling efficient prototype construction through hands‑on work in machining, assembly, and installation. Your contribution will be critical in maintaining execution pace during periods of high activity. /p pYou will operate across a wide range of technical tasks, supporting both manufacturing and experimental work, and collaborating closely with engineers and other technicians to ensure successful delivery of prototype systems. /p h3WHAT YOU WILL DO /h3 ul liPerform hands‑on workshop activities including machining, mechanical assembly, wiring, and installation of components /li liBuild, test, and iterate on mechanical and electromechanical prototypes from early‑stage designs /li liSupport the manufacturing, integration, and troubleshooting of magnet prototype components and assemblies /li liAssist with the setup, fitting, adjustment, and modification of parts during prototype construction and testing /li liContribute to the installation, operation, and modification of experimental setups and test rigs /li liCollaborate closely with engineers and technicians to enable rapid prototyping and iteration cycles /li liMaintain a clean, organized, and efficient workshop and lab environment /li /ul h3WHO YOU ARE /h3 ul liTechnical training in mechanical engineering, polymechanics, or a related field, with strong hands‑on experience in workshop environments (machining, assembly, installation) /li liComfortable working with tools, machines, and mechanical systems, including machining, wiring, mechanical assembly, and basic test/calibration equipment /li liComfortable reading drawings and technical documentation /li liDetail‑oriented and safety‑conscious, with a strong commitment to quality and precision /li liPractical, hands‑on problem solver with strong craftsmanship; able to work independently and collaboratively /li liReliable and proactive, with a solution‑oriented mindset and strong sense of ownership /li liAdaptable and flexible; able to work across a variety of tasks in fast‑paced, evolving technical or RD environments /li liStrong team player with good communication skills; able to collaborate closely with engineers and technicians; good English required (German is a plus) /li /ul h3NICE TO HAVE /h3 ul liExperience in welding /li liExperience in prototype manufacturing or RD environments /li liFamiliarity with machining processes (CNC and/or manual) /li liExperience with mechanical installation and system integration /li liExperience with vacuum technology /li /ul pAt 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. /p /p
