Building stellarator fusion power plants—the clearest, most robust path to commercial fusion energy.
WHO WE ARE
At Proxima Fusion, we're driven by a bold mission – to redefine the future of sustainable energy. Our unique concept, built upon the groundbreaking W7-X stellarator and the latest advances in technology, paves the way for commercially viable fusion power plants.
Our work in stellarator optimization, powered by cutting-edge computation and machine learning, is propelling us into uncharted territories of fusion technology. New higher performance design points are unlocked by high temperature superconducting magnets.
We're on a journey to redefine the energy landscape, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
YOUR IMPACT
Turn bold ideas into working reality: as our Automation & Knowledge Engineer, you’ll build the scripts, connectors, and workflows that move us to an AI-first company.
