Energy generation through fusion is one of the most exciting technological developments of our time. A promising approach uses high-intensity laser systems, which, however, currently do not yet meet the requirements needed in a future power plant. In order to support these challenging developments on the critical path towards a commercially usable technology, our company was founded as a subsidiary of SPRIND (Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovations).
SPRIND aims to create new disruptive innovations in Germany. This means products, services, and systems that noticeably and sustainably improve all our lives. To achieve this, it brings together innovative thinkers from science and business, people with outstanding ideas, special expertise, and passion.
In a joint project with Marvel Fusion, we will advance the ecosystem needed for the commercialization of a laser-driven inertial fusion approach. The main goal of this cooperation is to develop and manufacture a scalable, industrial diode-pumped ultra-high intensity laser system.
- Working at the forefront of laser-fusion-related science & ultra-high intensity laser system development
- Support in solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in laser science
- Working at the intersection of research and industry
The impact you will make
In this role, you will have the chance to broaden your horizon by working at the forefront of high-power laser fusion science. You will be a key person for the control system of the unique ultra-high intensity high-power laser system, and you will take over a number of projects for this development. Your contributions will significantly impact the development of our cutting-edge technology. You will bring solid expertise to collaborate with multidisciplinary external teams e. g. with the Laser or Engineering Group at Marvel Fusion, which is continuously developing and implementing new technologies to demonstrate key features of its unique laser-driven fusion concept. Furthermore, you will establish connections with external partners around the globe.
- Design and develop the control system of a unique, scalable, industrial diode-pumped ultra-high intensity laser system
- Define the resource requirements to implement the control system (tools, personnel, etc.)
- Lead the implementation and testing of these systems during the assembly and commissioning phase
- Derive specifications and document them in proper form
- Be responsible for the integration of the control system in a future facility and closely collaborate with the laser and engineering department of Marvel Fusion in the planning, construction, and commissioning phases
- Contribute your experience with control systems to the overall laser design
- Interact with external partners and team members during this development
What you bring
- Master or Ph.D. in Electrical or Control Engineering, or a related field
- Extensive practical experience in designing and implementing complex control systems with significant areas of responsibility
- Experience in integrating multiple systems of multiple companies and stakeholder management in general
- Experience with controls of cameras, motors, power supply (and other sub-systems related to laser technology)
- Ability to plan, organize, conduct, and lead technical projects/programs and to formulate, track and report cost and schedule data
- Fluent English
- A healthy amount of flexibility, adaptability, and a can-do attitude
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills
- Willingness to travel
