  At Proxima Fusion, we're driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our unique concept, built upon the groundbreaking W7-X stellarator and the latest advances in technology, paves the way for commercially viable fusion power plants.
  Our work in stellarator optimization, powered by cutting-edge computation and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. New higher performance design points are unlocked by high temperature superconducting magnets and we're leveraging this technology with advanced computational design capabilities.
  We're on a journey to redefine the energy landscape, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
  As an integral part of our team, you will develop superconducting magnet concepts within the context of stellarator design. These magnets push on the boundaries of what is possible and represent a hugely cross-disciplinary engineering challenge. We are looking for an engineer with experience in electromagnetic system design to contribute to this critical component of a stellarator power plant.
  If you are:
  - Experienced in electro-mechanical design, including high-field magnets, electric motors, and battery systems;
  - Knowledgeable in cryogenic and/or vacuum systems;
  - Proficient in multi-physics modeling, particularly electromagnetic, structural, and thermal analysis;
  - Experienced in conceptual design exploration and reduced order analysis;
  - Skilled in prototype device development from concept;
  - [Nice to have] Experienced in instrumentation;
  You will help us by:
  - Exploring superconducting magnet concepts within the context of stellarator design;
  - Collaborating closely with our team of mechanical engineers, HTS experts, and physicists;
  - Partnering with industrial collaborators to develop lab tests and hardware prototypes;
  - Evaluating high-level systems concepts, conducting trade studies between components;
  - Integrating new technologies and novel concepts to elevate fusion to new levels of performance and feasibility.
  In return, you will get:
  - Fulfilling Mission: Work on harnessing the universe's fundamental energy source that powers the stars. If you want to contribute directly to transforming the way we produce energy in the world, Proxima is the place to be.
  - Incredible Team: Join a mission-driven, team-oriented, excellence-seeking team from all over the globe. We're working on fusion to change the world and we thrive in a supportive and rewarding environment.
  - World-Leading Partners: We are supported by internationally renowned groups, industrial companies and technical advisors with experience built on groundbreaking fusion experiments.
  - Shared Success: Live the success of the company by taking part in a generous stock options program. We aim for every team member to feel a shared sense of ownership, responsibility, and pride.
  - Healthy Environment: We take care of each other, while pushing ourselves to our best - we are on a marathon, not a sprint. We offer language courses for team members and their families. Every team member receives a ticket for free public transport in Munich and on all regional trains in Germany.
