Cryogenics Engineer

ph3WHO WE ARE /h3 pAt Proxima Fusion, we're driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our unique concept, built upon the groundbreaking W7-X stellarator and the latest advances in technology, paves the way for commercially viable fusion power plants. /p pWhat’s more, our work in stellarator optimization, powered by cutting‑edge computation and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. New higher performance design points are unlocked by high temperature superconducting magnets. /p pTo fully grasp this huge opportunity, we’re building a team of extremely dedicated and passionate people who come together driving something extraordinary, radically transforming technology in the world. /p h3WHY JOIN PROXIMA FUSION /h3 ul liYou will get to work on some of the most complex tech challenges to bring abundant, safe, clean energy to the world /li liYou'll get to join and learn from an exceptional selection of accomplished and driven individuals /li liDo your life’s best work and enjoy the journey /li liGet to show that big things are possible in Europe when you assemble the best talent /li /ul h3YOUR IMPACT /h3 pYour work will be critical to the success of Alpha, Proxima’s scientific breakeven stellarator. Alpha relies on superconducting magnet systems that must operate at cryogenic temperatures to generate the magnetic fields required to confine plasma. As a Cryogenic Engineer, you will design, analyse and validate the cryogenic systems that enable these magnets to perform reliably. Applying expertise in thermal engineering, fluid dynamics, and cryogenic system design, you will develop advanced cooling solutions for a first of a kind fusion machine. This role requires a unique combination of advanced systems thinking, simulation and modelling skills, and hands‑on technical judgement. You will move between analysis and implementation, turning complex designs into reliable cryogenic systems through testing, troubleshooting, and validation. /p h3WHAT YOU WILL DO /h3 ul liSpecify, design, and analyze specific cooling system to meet cryogenic performance requirements, ensuring model accuracy is verified by testing protocols; /li liProvide hands‑on technical leadership during the construction, commissioning, and long‑term operation of the cryogenic plant and its subsystems; /li liConduct performance analysis, testing, and troubleshooting of cryogenic systems; /li liCollaborate closely with electromagnetic, mechanical and electrical engineers, magnet experts, and physicists; /li liIdentify and act as an expert customer for projects with external suppliers and partners to specify and co‑design cryogenic systems with the highest quality and speed. /li /ul h3WHO YOU ARE /h3 ul liA team player who enjoys tackling difficult challenges, exploring new approaches, and continuously improving through iteration ; /li liAn engineer who combines strong modelling skills with hands‑on experience building and operating cryogenic systems /li liExperience in cryogenic hardware design, commissioning, and operation; /li liProven track record in specifying and designing cryogenic cooling systems using both multi‑physics tools (ie Simcenter Amesim, Comsol) and reduced‑order modelling approaches; /li liExperience validating cryogenic systems through a combination of simulations, testing, and prototyping; /li liDemonstrated ability to lead external work packages and manage procurement projects. /li /ul h3INTERVIEW PROCESS /h3 ul liRecruiter Interview (30-60 min) /li liTechnical Screening (30 min) /li liTechnical Panel (3x60 min) /li liCEO call (30 min) /li /ul pThis role sits at L2/L3 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
