Offer Description
Renaissance Fusion is the first Magnetic Confinement Fusion company in the EU. We are building the first net-energy producing stellarator by combining proprietary innovations in modular design, the manufacturing of next-generation High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets, and liquid-metal (LM) walls. We are forming a team of the brightest, most driven scientists and engineers to realize and commercialize our non-fusion products within 2 years and integrated fusion solutions within 10 years.
Specifically, we are looking for talented mechanical engineers to design, simulate new products, parts, equipment or mechanical machines and supervise their manufacture to support the construction & integration of the stellarator. According to your background and skills, you will be assigned to one of the following teams: Magnet-Vacuum-Cryogenics; HTS (superconductor), Liquid Metals, Heat- Diagnostics-Balance-of plant, where you will work on very exciting projects
Our team is young, agile, international, and based in the exciting city of Grenoble, by the French Alps.
Your main responsibilities will be:
Mechanical design
FEA modeling
Manufacturing
