Design & Analysis Engineer

About the role Main responsibilities Qualification and educational requirements Competences and preferred skills Gauss Fusion is aiming to build the first commercial scale fusion power plant based on the stellarator concept, and is seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to lead on design and analysis aspects of components and systems within the stellarator. The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in mechanical design, including experience with CAD software, engineering analysis, and manufacturing processes. In addition inventive approaches to problem solving, attention to detail and organizational skills will be essential. The Design & Analysis Engineer will work together with the design team and the physics team to ensure the appropriate design approaches, undertake multidisciplinary engineering analysis, robustly manage interfaces and develop requirements definitions for the systems. Seamless coordination with cross-functional teams will be key to ensuring designs meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and reliability. About us Gauss Fusion is a European fusion company focused on industrialising stellarator fusion and developing a modular power plant architecture, critical technologies and industrial capabilities required for scaling fusion power plants in the future. The start-up was founded in 2022 by Frank Laukien together with European high-tech companies with capabilities in magnetic-confinement fusion and component production for Fusion experiments like ITER. Gauss Fusion combines fusion science and systems engineering with industrial engineering and manufacturing expertise. Its peer-reviewed GIGA™ power-plant platform provides the technologically most promising system-level architecture to build cost-efficient stellarator power plants at scale. Within this architecture, Gauss Fusion is advancing critical technologies in areas including demountable magnet systems, tritium breeding, fuel-cycle technologies, and plasma exhaust. Working with industrial partners, technology providers and leading research institutions across Europe, the company is building the engineering, technologies and supply-chain capabilities required to progress stellarator fusion towards industrial deployment. Join us on our journey to revolutionize the energy landscape and make fusion power a reality. The time is now!
