Backed by over €650M and powered by a growing team across Munich, Zurich, and Oxford, we are developing the hardware and infrastructure needed to deliver the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion power plant.\nOur concept advances the most mature fusion technology out there, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, through two next-generation machines: Alpha and Stellaris. Our work combines stellarator optimization, advanced computation, machine learning, and high-temperature superconducting magnets to unlock higher-performance designs that were previously out of reach.\nTurning these designs into a functioning fusion power plant requires excellence and ownership across every discipline, from physics and engineering to software, manufacturing, law, and business functions.\nBY JOINING OUR TEAM YOU’LL GET TO\nArchitect a breakthrough energy technology - Play a defining role in designing and integrating the systems that will power the world’s first commercial stellarator fusion plant, influencing decisions that shape the future of clean energy.\n\nSolve some of the most complex engineering challenges in fusion - Work across magnet design, HTS technology, manufacturing, structural integration, and controls, turning cutting-edge science into real hardware\n\nMove fast and build what matters - Join a highly ambitious, multidisciplinary team that combines cutting-edge simulation with hands-on engineering, turning bold ideas into real hardware on the path to commercial fusion.\n\nYOUR IMPACT\nIn this role, you will have the opportunity to shape the electrical architecture of a first-of-a-kind power plant and define how it interacts with both internal consumers and the wider electrical grid. You will drive the modernization of power system monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance strategies, leveraging data and digital technologies to improve reliability and operational performance. Beyond the plant itself, you will help develop innovative grid-facing capabilities and online services, exploring new ways for power generation assets to create value through advanced connectivity, flexibility, and participation in the evolving energy ecosystem.\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nDefine and develop the plant's electrical architecture, ensuring reliable and efficient operation across diverse electrical loads and systems.\n\nLead grid integration studies and analyses, including load flow, fault, stability, power quality, and protection coordination assessments.\n\nSpecify and oversee the integration of electrical equipment, including transformers, switchgear, protection systems, and power conversion technologies.\n\nEstablish monitoring, diagnostics, and condition-based maintenance approaches to improve asset reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.\n\nDevelop predictive maintenance frameworks using operational and equipment health data.\n\nEvaluate and develop opportunities for advanced grid services, including flexibility, ancillary services, demand response, and other emerging market offerings.\n\nExplore innovative digital and online services that can enhance plant performance, operational visibility, and value creation within future energy systems.\n\nWHO YOU ARE\nYou have a University (Higher education) degree in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, Computer Science or equivalent\n\nYou have a strong background in electrical engineering, control systems, or a related field, with hands-on experience in industrial environments\n\nYou are adaptable and motivated to grow with evolving technologies and increasing system complexity\n\nExperience in grid integration, or electrical infrastructure for industrial, utility-scale, or energy-related facilities is a plus\n\nKnowledge of reactive power compensation is a plus\n\nINTERVIEW PROCESS\nRecruiter Interview (30-60 min)\n\nTechnical Screening (30 min)\n\nTechnical Panel (3x60 min)\n\nAt Proxima Fusion, our mission is bold: making limitless clean energy a reality. To get there, we need a high-performing, diverse team that brings different perspectives, challenges assumptions, and builds together with purpose. We know that diversity of thought and experience leads to better ideas, stronger execution, and a more resilient team. We don’t look at how you identify, what you look like, who you choose to worship or what ethnicity you are. We care about what you can bring to the table.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4547,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Power Grid","Nuclear Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T10:20:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":84,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/proxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/proxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T13:31:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28691,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8931},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8931"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fproxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fproxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fproxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/proxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fproxima-fusion-electrical-distribution-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3737222}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"proximafusion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3737222},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
