Description

You will design and optimize particle accelerator systems and beamlines for muon production in fusion technology, developing simulation models and collaborating cross-functionally. Your work will help move the technology from laboratory to commercial energy source, contributing to clean energy solutions.

Requirements

  • PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, preferably with a focus on accelerator physics
  • Strong understanding of beam dynamics and accelerator systems
  • Demonstrated understanding of accelerator physics principles for beamlines, synchrotrons, and storage rings, including the theory of polarized beams
  • Experience with particle accelerator simulation tools
  • Track record of working successfully with other scientists and engineers to solve complex technical challenges
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced team

Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize particle accelerator systems and beamlines for muon production
  • Develop simulation models of accelerators and beams to analyze beam dynamics and particle interactions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate accelerator designs into our fusion system
  • Contribute to experimental planning and data analysis
  • Help establish technical specifications for system components
  • Author technical papers and contribute to the company's scientific publications, presenting research at scientific conferences
