Who we are
Marvel Fusion, founded in 2019 and based in Munich, is a technology pioneer in the field of safe, clean, and reliable power generation. With the aim of solving one of the biggest problems of humanity, we are developing a completely new type of fusion energy technology that dramatically increases the probability of fusion and builds on recent advances in laser and nanoscience.
Why Marvel Fusion
By joining us, you will be:
- Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
- Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default
The impact you will make
Our mission is to unlock the potential of fusion power generation: abundant, clean, economic and safe energy. On the critical path is the demonstration of the key features of Marvel Fusion’s unique fusion approach leveraging ultra-high intensity, short-pulse lasers and nanostructured targets. In recent years, the Experimental Physics Group at Marvel Fusion has implemented a new research laboratory at a world-class, ultra-high-intensity, short-pulse laser facility in the Greater Munich area. Moreover, we have partnered with international laser facilities, including the world’s most powerful laser facility ELI-NP in Măgurele (RO) and will soon break ground to build a revolutionary high-power laser facility in Colorado (US). Together, these facilities provide an excellent research platform to conduct groundbreaking laser-fusion research.
Your responsibilities
You will play a key role in streamlining data acquisition processes during experiments and setting up the necessary data infrastructure. After the experiments, you will be responsible for structuring the collected data and developing software tools for its analysis and interpretation, acting as a crucial link for the generation of scientific insights.
- You will plan, develop and deploy data organization, storage and processing systems for experimental campaigns in the field of nuclear fusion driven by ultra-short, high-intensity laser pulses interacting with advanced targets at facilities worldwide, which will include:
- Optimize and enhance Marvel Fusion’s data analysis software stack.
- Set up improved data infrastructure, storage, and data reduction standards ranging from human-readable to proprietary binary data.
- Implement software and hardware solutions to organize and process raw data to derive the basic physical quantities of interest.
- Support the implementation of data acquisition systems (DAQs) for real-time or batch processing of experimental data.
- You work closely with the diagnostics, control and IT infrastructure engineers to streamline the end-to-end process.
- Along with the rest of the experimental team, you will participate in experiments to gain valuable insights, continuously driving improvements in data acquisition, diagnostics, and experimental setups.
- You are a key element of defining and pursuing the company's forefront scientific mission, following a strict code of ethics, and protecting confidential information.
Activities will initially be performed in the Greater Munich (DE) area, with occasional travel to research facilities worldwide.
What you bring
- Completed a minimum MSc in Physics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent breadth and depth of experience
- Demonstrated hands-on experience and expertise in scientific computing and processing of large datasets (over 100 GB)
- Strong proficiency in Python with additional experience in C/C++, CUDA, OpenCL, Mathematica, Fortran, or Matlab considered an advantage
- You have excellent written and oral communication skills in English
- Willingness to reside in the greater Munich area.
What sets you apart
- Experience in GPU-accelerated data processing and image pattern recognition
- Experience with laser-plasma experiments
- Flexible and creative in pursuing new topics to push forward pioneering research
- Willingness to travel multiple times per year to research facilities in Europe and the U.S
- You love digging into and solving complex problems that require attention to detail and are a critical thinker
What we offer
- An opportunity to make a huge impact on the future of our planet by making clean, safe and abundant energy possible
- Flexible working, location- and hours-wise
- A human-centered company culture with super nice and supportive colleagues
- A great sense of community through team events and fun in and outside the office
- A modern office with a lot of collaborative space close to Theresienwiese in Munich
- Highly competitive compensation and benefits package
