Job Description
Focused Energy is a fusion energy startup with the goal of generating unlimited clean energy to responsibly meet future global demand. The founders include two highly renowned scientists and a longtime entrepreneur and founder of several successful startups. With the use and commercialization of laserinduced inertial fusion a clean and highly efficient power generation technology is coming within reach suitable to ensure a secure and scalable future energy supply.
We are seeking a skilled and driven Simulation Scientist to join our team and help us shape the future of energy. This person will play a visionary role in architecting and implementing our worldleading fusion reactor design and optimization tools. They will develop highperformance computational models and workflows that span multiple scales from atomic interactions to reactorscale dynamics and work closely with domain experts. This work will directly inform the design safety and efficiency of our fusion systems and help chart our path to commercially viable fusion energy.
What youll do:
Simulation Workflow Development: Design and build computational tools that integrate existing simulation codes (CFD neutron transport atomistic and others) into a robust and highperformance reactor design framework
Reduce TimetoSolution: Employ stateoftheart methods to accelerate simulations for example differentiable programming GPU acceleration and machine learning
Interact Across the Company: Work closely with our diverse team of scientists engineers and external partners to deliver key design specifications to our R&D programs
Future Planning: Help define Focused Energys longterm simulation HPC Digital Twin and workforce roadmaps
Contribute to a Global Effort: Significantly advance our understanding of inertial fusion reactor design and publish these advances in high impact peerreviewed scientific journals
Who you are:
Significant Technical Expertise: PhD in Computer Science Computational Physics Applied Mathematics or a related field and 8 years of experience in code development for computational modeling. A focus on multicomponent multiscale or multiphysics simulation codes or workflows is highly desired
Motivated and Agile: Demonstrated success implementing efficient and varied solutions to complex modeling problems with a strong attention to detail and scalability
Collaborative: Experience in multidisciplinary teams and communicating across scientific and engineering fields
Experienced Simulation Developer: Expert in programming languages such as Python C or Fortran and experience with parallel computing frameworks (e.g. MPI CUDA). Proficient in modern software engineering practices including continuous integration testing and verification. Familiar with highperformance computing environments and/or cloudbased simulation platforms
Preferred Experience: Experience in Laser Fusion energy research or related field familiarity with established nuclear design and analysis software model validation and calibration using experimental data machine learning techniques for model acceleration or data analysis
