Job Summary

Do Epic Science

TAE is the worlds first private fusion energy company founded in 1998 to commercialize the cleanest safest most affordable and sustainable form of carbon-free power. We are applying science and engineering to design transformational technologies. Whether its harnessing fusion through the science of stars making exponential leaps in power efficiency or innovating medical care with a novel cancer treatment: Were turning the promise of science into reality.

Were looking for candidates who are passionate about realizing our mission: A future where all people have affordable access to reliable abundant and environmentally friendly fusion-generated electricity.

About The Role

The next fusion machine in TAE Da Vinci requires a powerful NB injecting system. It has two types of the neutral beams low energy NB (tens of keV 5 MW per beamline) based on positive ions source and high energy NB (1 MeV 5 MW) based on negative ions source.

You will participate in development of the long pulse plasma sources (CW) extracting and accelerating systems beamline components; conduct experiments with the plasma source and beam characterization; do plasma generation and beam transport simulation.

The key accountabilities

Conduct low temperature plasma experiments do simulations of the plasma generation
Develop/study/optimize ion beam optics
Development of the new NB for the future plasma machine: simulations beam formation transport; beam parameters experimental characterization design NB systems together with the engineering team carry out experiments to test NB subsystems.
Development of the beamline systems vacuum systems beam dumps neutralizers etc.
Development diagnostics for the high-power NB (Secondary electron emission detectors calorimeters optical diagnostics etc.)

About You

Have worked with the following: Plasma sources Neutral beam in designing and operating plasma/beam diagnostics
Ion/electron accelerators beam transport
Operation of high voltage equipment (>10 kV)
Numerical simulation of the plasma generators ion/electron beam formation beam transport mechanical/thermal tensions.
High vacuum systems UHV
Negative ions sources
Excellent analytical and data analysis skills.
Experience in ion beams operation/development/design. Preferred hands-on negative ions beam operation
Experience with various Programming Languages/Scripts/Macros as well as systems such as Python Matlab or IDL is also useful.

Education

Phd Required: preferred in physics plasma physics engineering or related field
