Job Description

Fuse is on a mission to accelerate the worlds transition to fusion energy. Our core product is TITAN: an Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG). TITAN is the most efficient and powerful (TW) machine of its kind. Fusers have built and licensed Magical Unicorn and FAETON I 2 novel pulsed power generators.

You are joining an earlystage fusion company. Please expect to wear different hats and take 0 to 1 ownership of objectives. Changing the world is hard but honorable and fulfilling. You should expect to work extremely hard to make a dent. This is not a regular job. Fusers are on a mission to change the world and get done.

We are seeking a Nuclear Engineer with expertise in particle transportation Monte Carlo simulation and radiation shielding to support our fusion facility. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neutron and gamma detection data analysis and radiation test environments. Experience working in a combined neutron and gamma radiation environment as found in fusion systems is highly advantageous.

This role involves developing radiation models optimizing shielding solutions and ensuring radiation safety in a highenergy fusion environment. The candidate will work closely with physicists engineers and regulatory teams to enhance radiation transport simulations detector performance and measurement accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

    • Develop and apply Monte Carlo simulations (e.g. MCNP Geant4 FLUKA) for particle transport shielding and dose assessment in a fusion facility.
    • Design and optimize radiation shielding for mixed neutron and gamma environments.
    • Conduct experimental validation of neutron and gamma detection systems.
    • Perform radiation transport analysis to improve system performance and safety.
    • Develop and maintain radiation test environments for detector calibration and material testing.
    • Support meteorological assessments related to radiation dispersion and environmental safety.
    • Analyze radiation data for operational safety shielding effectiveness and compliance with regulatory requirements.
    • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on fusion technology development and radiation safety initiatives.

Qualifications & Skills

    • Masters or PhD in Nuclear Engineering Physics or a related field.
    • Strong experience in Monte Carlo particle transport simulations (MCNP Geant4 FLUKA etc..
    • Handson experience with neutron and gamma detection techniques.
    • Knowledge of radiation shielding dose calculations and safety assessments.
    • Experience in radiation metrology and calibration techniques.
    • Proficiency in data analysis and programming (Python MATLAB C etc..
    • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (CNSC NRC IAEA standards).

Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience working in a fusion/fission facilities or similar combined neutrongamma radiation environment.
    • Background in highenergy neutron/Gamma transport and shielding.
    • Knowledge of advanced radiation detection technologies

Additional Requirements

    • Must be able to travel and work extended hours/weekends as needed.
ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government technology export regulations including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen lawful permanent resident of the U.S. protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)3 or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
