Manufacturing Engineer – Magnet Industrialisation

ph3WHO WE ARE /h3 pProxima 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. /p pOur 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. /p pTurning 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. /p h3TEAM ROLE /h3 ul lipbArchitect a breakthrough energy technology /b – 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. /p /li lipbSolve some of the most complex engineering challenges in fusion /b – Work across magnet design, HTS technology, manufacturing, structural integration, and controls, turning cutting-edge science into real hardware /p /li lipbMove fast and build what matters /b – 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. /p /li /ul h3WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION /h3 ul lipYou will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world. /p /li lipYou'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals. /p /li lipDo your life’s best work and enjoy the journey. /p /li lipGet to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent. /p /li /ul h3YOUR IMPACT /h3 pYou will support the industrialisation of production processes for magnet production, contributing directly to the execution of key activities within Proxima’s magnet program. /p pYou will play a central role in designing, testing and scaling up a wide array of production processes such as welding, bonding, sealing and coating. /p pYou will be part of the team bridging manufacturing technology for first prototypes to full scale manufacturing /p pYou 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 /p h3WHAT YOU WILL DO /h3 ul lipDefine the requirements for industrialised manufacturing equipment and processes, to ensure performance, repeatability and safe operation /p /li lipContribute to the development of in process monitoring and non destructive testing /p /li lipHelp to determine and justify quality requirements to ensure smooth manufacturing while keeping the required product performance /p /li lipDesign jigs and tools for magnet industrialised production /p /li lipCollaborate closely with engineers and technicians across multiple teams /p /li /ul h3WHO YOU ARE /h3 ul lipA master´s degree in mechanical, mechatronics or similar engineering field /p /li lipA wide experience in manufacturing process development, process monitoring and non destructive testing in an industrial setting /p /li lipStrong hands‑on experience in production environments over a wide range of production processes (for ex. welding, machining, assembly, bonding) /p /li lipHands on experience in prototyping and testing /p /li lipProficient in creating development plans from start to finish for a new process /p /li lipExperience in trouble‑shooting issues as they arise on production lines /p /li lipAbility to work across a variety of tasks in a dynamic environment /p /li lipReliable, proactive, and solution‑oriented mindset /p /li lipStrong team player, able to collaborate closely with engineers and technical staff /p /li lipA high performer who loves challenges and is not afraid to experiment, take risks and learn from mistakes. /p /li /ul h3NICE TO HAVE /h3 ul lipFamiliarity in both prototype manufacturing and industrial manufacturing /p /li lipComfortable with CAD: good knowledge of Catia V5 or 3DExperience are considered as a plus /p /li lipA background in product testing and qualification in a regulated industry is a plus /p /li lipExposure to SCADA systems or MES integration /p /li lipKnowledge of safety standards and risk assessments in automated environments /p /li /ul h3INTERVIEW PROCESS /h3 ul lipRecruiter Interview (30-60 min) /p /li lipTechnical Screening (30 min) /p /li lipTechnical Panel (3x60 min) /p /li /ul pbr/*This role sits at L2 of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information. /p 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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
