About the company:
Who we are
Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 75 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.
Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.
Why Marvel Fusion
By joining us, you will be:
- Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
- Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default
What this role is
- A manager and systems integrator, not a deep-tech individual contributor.
- Single point of accountability for controls, end to end.
- Owner of system design across all subsystems: laser, vacuum, beam transport, telemetry, and computer/control systems brought into one coherent whole.
- A visionary horizon: designs controls not only for today's experimental facility but for the future power plant, thinking years ahead on what becomes technically possible.
What you will own
- Architecture and integration of the central control system (PLT) across all subsystems.
- Facility-level control system integration for an experimental facility (not factory or serial production).
- Femtosecond-level synchronization with the high-power laser.
- Vacuum integration and beam transport.
- Telemetry plus control integration into the central system.
- The core challenge: integration of physical systems into computer and control systems.
- Building, structuring, and leading the controls team. Hire, mentor, and genuinely support the people in it.
- The long-term controls vision, scaling from today's experimental setup toward a future power plant.
What you bring
- Proven leadership of technical teams in a scientific or experimental facility, not serial/factory production.
- Strong systems design and integration background. You connect complex subsystems into a working whole.
- Solid understanding of laser technology, ideally ultra-short pulse laser and laser architecture.
- Experience working with software teams and a working understanding of software development.
- Excellent stakeholder and project management. You are a manager and communicator first.
- Visionary thinking: you design for what becomes technically possible years ahead.
Nice to have
- Track record building a controls function or team from the ground up.
What we offer

- Public transport reimbursement
- EGYM Wellpass fitness club access
- Complimentary health insurance
