Munich

Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 75 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.

Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.

Why Marvel Fusion

By joining us, you will be:

• Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
• Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
• Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
• Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default

The impact you will make

We are looking for a highly capable Mechanical engineer to join our team and take the lead in designing and optimizing large, ultra-stable optical mounts for high-energy, ultra-short-pulse laser systems. This role requires expertise in mechanical design, vibration and thermal analysis and precision kinematics. You will collaborate closely with optical physicists and systems engineers to ensure the structural stability and adjustability of critical laser components under demanding operating conditions.

Your responsibilities

• Design and optimize large optical mounts capable of maintaining stability under thermal loads, mechanical vibrations and environmental changes
• Apply principles of multi-degree-of-freedom kinematics (spatial and angular) to develop mounts that support precise and repeatable alignment
• Select appropriate materials, threads, springs and mechanical features to handle high loads and achieve fine adjustment sensitivity
• Integrate motorized or manual adjustment mechanisms into mounts, accounting for force transmission, backlash and precision
