About the role
Who we are
Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.
Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.
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
Your responsibilities
- Initiate and develop an R&D stream focused on micro-assembly and integration of fabricated components into experimental targets for in-house use.
- Characterization, metrology and quality control of assembled targets, to verify that the target specifications are met.
- Develop and optimize bonding and adhesive processes for micro-precision target component assembly.
- Coordinating multi-partner consortia and associated reporting: build and maintain collaborations with academic and industrial partners.
- Drafting of public funding applications.
- Mentor junior scientists and coordinate cross-functional teams.
- Documentation and reporting: write and oversee technical and safety documentation, protocols development, and contribute to internal, external, and funding-body reports.
What you bring
- 8+ years of experience in Mechanical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field, with demonstrated seniority in an R&D environment.
- Experience in micro-assembly or sub-micrometric precision integration of multi-material components at micro scale (e.g. micro-/nano-manipulator, FIB, pick-and-place systems).
- Experience with metrology and characterization techniques, and quality control for assembled targets, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical or confocal microscopy, and computer tomography (CT).
- Experience with bonding techniques for target components using methods such as micro-soldering and different bonding processes (e.g. adhesive, eutectic, or diffusion bonding).
- Practical experience working with processes under inert atmosphere for sensitive or reactive materials.
- Experience working in ISO-classified cleanroom environments.
- A track record leading or contributing to multi-partner research or industrial collaborations.
- Experience leading or contributing to public funding applications, with a track record of awarded proposals.
- Providing technical leadership and mentoring junior scientists and engineers in an experimental environment with evolving priorities.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, including technical writing for proposals and reports.
What sets you apart
- Experience in fusion, plasma physics, inertial confinement fusion (ICF), or energy systems.
- Familiarity with lab automation and the development of novel fabrication processes.
- Experience with cryogenic target fabrication or handling of cryogenic components.
