From the employer's listing (short excerpt)
ABOUT FUSE
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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Fuse is the first private company building a fusion facility based on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF), an approach proven through a decade of simulation and experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. Our work spans Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG) drivers, MagLIF and the broader high-energy-density physics (HEDP) that governs how our machines compress and heat fusion fuel. We are building an in-house computational physics capability to model that physics end to end, from the pulsed-power driver to the imploding load to the fusion burn. As a Computational Plasma Physicist, you will develop and apply PIC and MHD simulations of MagLIF, Z-pinch and HEDP experiments, working shoulder to shoulder with our experimental, pulsed-power and target teams to interpret what we measure and design what we build next.
