SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER (M/F/D)

FIXED TERM, FULL TIME, IN MUNICH, HYBRID WORKING

About Pulsed Light Technologies GmbH

Energy generation through fusion is one of the most exciting technological developments of our time. A promising approach uses high-intensity laser systems, which, however, currently do not yet meet the requirements needed in a future power plant. In order to support these challenging developments on the critical path towards a commercially usable technology, Pulsed Light Technologies GmbH (PLT) was founded as a subsidiary of SPRIND (Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovations).

SPRIND aims to create new disruptive innovations in Germany. This means products, services, and systems that noticeably and sustainably improve all our lives. To achieve this, it brings together innovative thinkers from science and business, people with outstanding ideas, special expertise, and passion.

In a joint project with Marvel Fusion, PLT will advance the ecosystem needed for the commercialization of a laser-driven inertial fusion approach. The main goal of this cooperation is to develop and manufacture a scalable, industrial diode-pumped ultra-high intensity laser system.

By joining PLT, you will be:

• Working at the forefront of laser-fusion-related science & ultra-high intensity laser system development
• Support in solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
• Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in laser science
• Working at the intersection of research and industry

The impact you will make:

In this role, you will have the chance to broaden your horizon by working at the forefront of high-power laser fusion science. You will be a key person in developing the mechanical parts of the unique ultra-high intensity high-power laser system, and you will take over a number of projects for this development. Your contributions will significantly impact the development of our cutting-edge technology. You will bring solid expertise to collaborate with multidisciplinary external teams e. g. with the Laser or Engineering Group at Marvel Fusion, which is continuously developing and implementing new technologies to demonstrate key features of its unique laser-driven fusion concept. Furthermore, you will establish connections with external partners around the globe.

This role is ideal for candidates with hands-on experience in developing mechanical components as part of complex projects who would like to develop further within a multidisciplinary and multinational team.

More specifically, you will:
• Design and develop mechanical components of a unique, scalable, industrial diode-pumped ultra-high intensity laser system; these activities include conceptualization, design, planning, implementation, and testing during the assembly and commissioning phase
• Work on projects both independently and in teams, using professional engineering concepts to develop practical and creative solutions to complex problems
• Regularly perform computer-aided design
• Derive specifications and document them in proper form
• Be responsible for the integration with interdependent systems in a future facility and closely collaborate with the laser and engineering department of Marvel Fusion in the planning, construction, and commissioning phases
• Contribute with your experience to the overall laser design
• Interact with external partners and team members during this development

What you bring:

• Bachelor with relevant experience, Master or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• Knowledge and experience in optomechanical design and vacuum applications
• Knowledge and experience in 3D CAD (Inventor, SOLIDWORKS, or similar software)
• Technical expertise sufficient to perform complicated and difficult engineering work
• Ability to plan, organize, conduct, and lead technical projects/programs and to formulate, track and report cost and schedule data
• Fluent English
• A healthy amount of flexibility, adaptability, and a can-do attitude
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills
• Willingness to travel

Application Process:

If you’re interested in this job application, please apply via Marvel Fusion’s website.

Marvel Fusion will be responsible for screening applications and pre-selection of candidates based on their technical expertise and experience. Promising candidates will then be referred to PLT (upon consent by the respective candidate). Final interviews, negotiation of the hiring terms and hiring decision will be made by PLT without Marvel Fusion’s involvement.
