Health Physicist
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
You are the lead Health Physicist on site, responsible for the technical radiation-protection program: source terms, shielding, instrumentation, dosimetry, surveys, and the operational decisions that flow from them. This is a hands-on lead role.
Core Responsibilities
Independently verify shielding designs developed by physics and engineering — geometry, source definition, tally choice, variance reduction, and uncertainty. Catch the errors before the concrete is poured.
Run MCNP, PHITS, or GEANT4 transport calculations for the fusion generators, target chambers, beamlines, diagnostic ports, and shielded penetrations.
Build and maintain validated source-term models: D-T neutron yield and spectrum, capture and inelastic gammas, bremsstrahlung, and characteristic line emission.
