Job Summary
First Momentum Ventures is hiring for a pre-seed Deep Tech startup industrialising fusion and turning Sci-Fi machines into manufacturable repeatable products.
At the centre of this strategy is the industrialisation of high-field superconducting magnet systems to unlock compact fusion and near-term commercial applications in medical imaging and industrial inspection.
Backed by First Momentum Europes leading early-stage deep tech investor the founding team is now hiring its first technical engineer as it moves from research concept to prototype hardware.
Tasks
- System-level architecture of the HTS magnet platform
- Design development and validation of HTS coils for fusion and MRI-class applications
- Demountable superconducting joint development
- Quench detection protection and instrumentation
- Prototype campaigns from bench experiments to sub-scale hardware
- Defining the path from early prototypes toward repeatable industrialised production
Requirements
Must-haves:
- Deep experience with superconducting magnet systems (HTS preferred; strong LTS fundamentals acceptable)
- Demonstrated ownership of real hardware: built tested debugged iterated
- Familiarity with REBCO/HTS materials coil winding quench protection and superconducting instrumentation
- Comfortable with high autonomy and low structure at an early-stage company
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience bridging research and product development
- Interest in design-to-manufacture and industrialisation of advanced systems
Typical backgrounds: magnet design engineers applied superconductivity researchers HTS system developers or research engineers ready to build products instead of papers.
Benefits
Huge opportunity as employee #1
This is a full-ownership hands-on role for an engineer who wants to define a magnet program from scratch. You will work directly with the CEO and COO set the technical direction and build the team around you as the company grows.
Why This Is Rare
Most magnet roles sit inside large programs with narrow work packages. This is the opposite: we offer full technical ownership of a magnet system that will define the architecture of a next-generation fusion device with direct input into how industrialised superconductivity gets built in practice. Competitive salary meaningful equity and a founding team role with real compounding impact.
Interested Reach out directly or apply via First Momentum Ventures.
Please note: due to anticipated application volume we may only be able to respond to candidates selected for further consideration.
