Cryogenic Systems Engineer for Fusion Magnets

Proxima Fusion GmbH; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Proxima Fusion GmbH in Zürich is seeking a Cryogenic Engineer to design and validate cooling systems for a first-of-a-kind fusion machine. You will apply thermal engineering, fluid dynamics and cryogenic design to develop reliable cooling solutions for cryogenic magnets and plant subsystems.

You will lead cross-disciplinary collaborations with EM, mechanical, electrical engineers and physicists, moving between analysis, testing and implementation while guiding external suppliers and procurement

Qualifikationen

• A team player who enjoys tackling difficult challenges, exploring new approaches, and continuously improving through iteration.
• An engineer who combines strong modelling skills with hands-on experience building and operating cryogenic systems
• Experience in cryogenic hardware design, commissioning, and operation;
• Proven track record in specifying and designing cryogenic cooling systems using both multi-physics tools (ie Simcenter Amesim, Comsol) and reduced-order modelling approaches;
• Experience validating cryogenic systems through a combination of simulations, testing, and prototyping;
• Demonstrated ability to lead external work packages and manage procurement projects.

Aufgaben

• Specify, design, and analyze specific cooling system to meet cryogenic performance requirements, ensuring model accuracy is verified by testing protocols;
• Provide hands‑on technical leadership during the construction, commissioning, and long‑term operation of the cryogenic plant and its subsystems;
• Conduct performance analysis, testing, and troubleshooting of cryogenic systems;
• Collaborate closely with electromagnetic, mechanical and electrical engineers, magnet experts, and physicists;
• Identify and act as an expert customer for projects with external suppliers and partners to specify and co‑design cryogenic systems with the highest quality and speed.
