Mechanical Engineer (W7-X Placement Program)

Building stellarator fusion power plants—the clearest, most robust path to commercial fusion energy.

This position is part of a placement program in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP).

As part of the program, you will spend six months working at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, one of the world’s leading fusion research centers focused on the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator.

After the initial six months, you will have the option to either join us permanently in Munich or continue your work with IPP in Greifswald on the W7-X project.

Proxima Fusion is building on the world-leading research of IPP and the record-breaking results of W7-X, the most advanced stellarator in the world. As the first-ever spin-out company from IPP, we are proud to lead the development of the first generation of fusion power plants using QI stellarators.
