Job Description
Fuse is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy. Our core product is TITAN: an Impedance Matched Marx Generator (IMG). TITAN is the most efficient and powerful (TW) machine of its kind. Fusers have built and licensed Magical Unicorn and FAETON I, 2 novel pulsed power generators.
You are joining an early-stage fusion company. Please expect to wear different hats and take 0 to 1 ownership of objectives. Changing the world is hard but honorable and fulfilling. You should expect to work extremely hard to make a dent. This is not a regular job. Fusers are on a mission to change the world and get shit done.
We are seeking a Nuclear Engineer with expertise in particle transportation, Monte Carlo simulation, and radiation shielding to support our fusion facility. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neutron and gamma detection, data analysis, and radiation test environments. Experience working in a combined neutron and gamma radiation environment, as found in fusion systems, is highly advantageous.
This role involves developing radiation models, optimizing shielding solutions, and ensuring radiation safety in a high-energy fusion environment. The candidate will work closely with physicists, engineers, and regulatory teams to enhance radiation transport simulations, detector performance, and measurement accuracy.
Key Responsibilities - Develop and apply Monte Carlo simulations (e.g., MCNP, Geant4, FLUKA) for particle transport, shielding, and dose assessment in a fusion facility.
- Design and optimize radiation shielding for mixed neutron and gamma environments.
- Conduct experimental validation of neutron and gamma detection systems.
- Perform radiation transport analysis to improve system performance and safety.
- Develop and maintain radiation test environments for detector calibration and material testing.
- Support meteorological assessments related to radiation dispersion and environmental safety.
- Analyze radiation data for operational safety, shielding effectiveness, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on fusion technology development and radiation safety initiatives.
Qualifications & Skills - Master's or PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- Strong experience in Monte Carlo particle transport simulations (MCNP, Geant4, FLUKA, etc.).
- Hands-on experience with neutron and gamma detection techniques.
- Knowledge of radiation shielding, dose calculations, and safety assessments.
- Experience in radiation metrology and calibration techniques.
- Proficiency in data analysis and programming (Python, MATLAB, C++, etc.).
- Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (CNSC, NRC, IAEA standards).
Preferred Qualifications - Experience working in a fusion/fission facilities or similar combined neutron-gamma radiation environment.
- Background in high-energy neutron/Gamma transport and shielding.
- Knowledge of advanced radiation detection technologies
