Jobbeschreibung

Fusionality is building the measurement, simulation and control stack of the fusion energy reactors of the future.

Our technology enables effective and reliable operation, monitoring, and analysis of high-temperature plasmas in fusion devices — which will one day provide clean, practically limitless power to the grid. We have spun out of EPFL’s Swiss Plasma Center and have just completed our pre-seed fundraise.

We are looking for a Senior Control Systems Engineer to join our founding team in Lausanne and help build our core technology.

This job is for you if you are a passionate engineer with deep knowledge cutting across real-time / embedded systems, software and hardware, and excited about building the systems to monitor and control real-world fusion plasmas.

Tasks

• Implement real-time control, analysis, data acquisition systems in the kHz to MHz range, as individual contributor and in a team.
• Integrate solutions across a variety of company products and services as well as on our in-house test beds.
• Provide technical leadership within a growing real-time control and software engineering team that you will help to build.
• Translate customer needs into requirements and specifications.

Requirements

• Experience taking hard-real-time acquisition and control loops from incomplete requirements through to commissioning on hardware, in domains such as automotive, robotics, embedded, electrical and/or scientific instrumentation.
• ‘Full stack’: familiarity with all aspects of real-time technologies, from physical/DAQ, real-time software frameworks and middleware, real-time OS and integration.
• Fluency in a mix of high-level and low-level languages such as C, C++, Rust, MATLAB/Simulink, Python. Obsession with code quality, testing and reliability.
• Experience with distributed real-time systems, real-time networking and field buses and/or SCADA is an advantage.
• Experience with embedded/μC/FPGA technologies and/or safety critical systems is an advantage.

Benefits

• The unique opportunity to play a foundational role at a dynamic, fast-growing startup, shaping the technical solutions and products from the ground up.
• The opportunity to build cutting edge technology to monitor and control plasmas in real fusion devices, working side-by-side with leading plasma and control experts.
• Great working conditions, located in Lausanne, Switzerland, a city and country known for its high quality of life.
• Competitive salary and equity compensation and benefits including immigration assistance.
