From Fuse's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.
As a Computational Physicist at Fuse, you'll develop the models and simulations that explore how our pulsed-power systems actually behave — turning physics, mathematics, and computational methods into predictions the team can build on.
Core Responsibilities
Develop and run simulations for pulsed-power systems using MHD, PIC, and circuit models.
Utilize and modify Screamer circuit code for modeling high-voltage pulse generation and delivery.
Conduct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to study plasma dynamics in fusion and Z-pinch configurations.
Implement and analyze particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for plasma interactions and beam dynamics.
Model impedance matching in Marx generators and analyze energy coupling in plasma loads.
Collaborate with experimentalists to validate models and optimize system performance.
Develop custom computational tools and optimize existing codes for high-performance computing (HPC).
Analyze and interpret large data sets, extracting meaningful insights and presenting findings in clear, concise reports.
Develop software tools and algorithms to optimize simulation processes and improve computational efficiency.
Stay up to date with advancements in computational techniques, programming languages, and physical theories to apply state-of-the-art methodologies to projects.
Contribute to academic papers, technical reports, and presentations, sharing results with both internal teams and external collaborators.
Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior team members.
Give a shit. Build things you're proud of.
Take responsibility. If something is broken and you can fix it, fix it. See things through.
Move fast. Make decisions, learn quickly, and keep moving forward.
Think bigger. Simplify relentlessly. Don't default to the safe answer.
Disagree and commit. The best idea wins. Once a decision is made, we move.
Desire to win. This is hard. Expect intensity. We are here to win.
Plan B is to make Plan A work.
Additional Requirements
This is not a remote position and will require relocation if not already local to the applicable Fuse facility.
