About the job
At Xcimer Energy, we harness decades of pioneering research in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) and innovative laser architecture to revolutionize energy production. Our commitment is to expedite the deployment of fusion power plants, aligning with global decarbonization objectives. With a team comprised of industry leaders in advanced technologies, fusion science, and manufacturing, we are poised to deliver a sustainable, clean energy solution to combat climate change. Join our mission to create a brighter future through inertial fusion!
As a Lead Experimental Physicist, you will spearhead the design, execution, and analysis of pivotal experiments within Xcimer’s Vulcan fusion program, aimed at achieving wall plug breakeven. This role requires translating the theoretical physics and risk mitigation strategies into actionable experiments, managing diagnostic specifications, and formulating test plans for Vulcan that ensure the facility and subsystem readiness for ignition physics.
As the inaugural experimentalist of the program, your expertise will bridge the domains of physics, engineering, and systems integration. You will ensure that the design, diagnostics, and experimental frameworks of Vulcan are meticulously aligned with the Fusion Pilot Plant's physics foundation. We seek scientists who are eager to apply their leadership, technical acumen, analytical thinking, and commitment to excellence to shape the future of energy!
