Résumé du poste

Fuse is seeking a seasoned physicist to lead experimental shot campaigns on our pulsed-power machines in Albuquerque. You’ll design objectives, configurations, and success criteria, and decide when an experiment is ready to fire in real time.

Collaboration with diagnostics and computation teams is essential as you drive interpretation and model refinement. You will mentor junior physicists and engineers, present findings through reports and publications, and travel to related facilities as

Qualifications

• Experience designing and executing experimental campaigns, not just analyzing existing data.
• Strong understanding of plasma physics, pulsed-power systems, or nuclear effects testing.
• Ability to make sound technical decisions under time pressure during live experimental operations.
• Strong communication across engineering, physics, and operations teams.

Responsabilités

• Design and lead experimental shot campaigns on Fuse's pulsed-power machines, defining objectives, configurations, and success criteria for each shot.
• Take responsibility for go/no-go decisions on experimental readiness in real time, working directly with engineering and operations teams.
• Interpret shot data alongside diagnostics and computational teams; identify what worked, what didn't, and what to change for the next campaign.
• Collaborate with Computational Physicists to validate simulations against real experimental results and refine models.
• Work with Nuclear Engineers and diagnostics teams to ensure radiation diagnostics are correctly configured.
• Drive continuous improvement of experimental procedures based on shot-to-shot learnings.
• Present findings internally and, where appropriate, externally through technical reports and publications.
• Mentor and guide junior physicists and engineers supporting experimental operations.
