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
You will build our in-house simulation stack — the models that predict what our fusion machines will do, and the inference machinery that pulls physics out of shot data. This is not a “fit a curve to a dashboard” data science role.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
- Build a coupled simulation framework for our DPF: pulsed-power circuit, sheath formation and run-down (snowplow / slug / Lee-type models, progressing toward MHD), pinch and instability development, and neutron and X-ray production.
- Implement radiation source-term models: thermonuclear vs. beam-target neutron-yield decomposition, bremsstrahlung and line-emission spectra, and anisotropy.
- Develop surrogate and reduced-order models so designers and physicists can iterate on parameter sweeps without standing up an HPC job each time.
