About Fuse

We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win.

About the Role

As a Computational Physicist at Fuse, you'll develop the models and simulations that explore how our pulsed-power systems actually behave — turning physics, mathematics, and computational methods into predictions the team can build on.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop and run simulations for pulsed-power systems using MHD, PIC, and circuit models.

  • Utilize and modify Screamer circuit code for modeling high-voltage pulse generation and delivery.

  • Conduct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to study plasma dynamics in fusion and Z-pinch configurations.

  • Implement and analyze particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for plasma interactions and beam dynamics.

  • Model impedance matching in Marx generators and analyze energy coupling in plasma loads.
