Who we are

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 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
