Accelerator Physicist Medical Beams

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.

As a part of the TAE Beams group the Accelerator Physicist will accept responsibilities to develop commission and operate components subsystems and complete particle accelerators for medical and industrial applications.

A successful candidate would have strong background in physics and technology of particle accelerators nuclear physics plasma physics or related field coupled with solid experience in designing manufacturing and integrating the accelerators hardware as well as in operating and troubleshooting of particle accelerators.

About The Role

• Working in close contact with engineering conduct development of accelerators hardware: accelerating structures injectors beamlines targets and beam diagnostic tools
• Conduct necessary experiments collect and interpret experimental results and summarize the findings in reports
• Perform simulation of physical processes related to development of commercial accelerators: beam transport heat transport interaction of particles and radiation with matter electromagnetic fields nuclear processes and activation pressure distribution and gas pumping etc.
• Participate in integration and commission of the accelerators at customers sites. Operate particle accelerators and optimize their performance.
• Assist with troubleshooting and maintenance of the accelerator systems interacting with quality and service engineers.
• Support manufacturing and procurement of the accelerators components as a subject matter expert.
• Write detailed specifications standard operating procedures and installation and commissioning manuals to support the engineering manufacturing and quality teams.
