You'll coordinate with plasma control, physics, and engineering teams in a fast-paced fusion startup.

🎯 What You'll Do

  • Refine the measurement set for ARC tokamak with plasma control and physics teams.
  • Evaluate diagnostic techniques robust to thermal and radiological environments.
  • Scope R&D projects for needed instrumentation technologies.
  • Develop concepts, layouts, and requirements for plasma instrumentation.

📋 Requirements

  • PhD in experimental plasma physics or related field.
  • 5+ years experience in plasma physics or fusion research.
  • Experience designing, building, and operating plasma instrumentation.
  • Experience working on multi-disciplinary engineering projects.

✨ Nice to Have

  • Experience with Python.

🚩 Heads Up

  • Must-have requirements include industrial hazards (heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, high current, pressure systems, cryogenics).
  • Willingness to travel or work nights/weekends/on-call regularly.
