Role OverviewAn Experimental Plasma Scientist is a technical contributor within Avalanche's Science organization, responsible for advancing plasma physics understanding as it applies directly to Avalanche's fusion systems.
What You Will Do
Design, analyze, and interpret plasma experiments, contribute to rapid test–learn cycles, integrate experimental data, simulations, and theory, and communicate complex plasma physics concepts clearly.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You will work closely with experimental systems, diagnostics, simulations, and cross-functional engineering teams, exercising strong scientific judgment, proposing new approaches, and helping the team move faster and smarter.
Requirements
- PhD in plasma physics or a closely related field, or equivalent depth of experience
- Demonstrated ability to approach complex plasma physics problems analytically
- Comfortable interpreting theory, simulation, and experimental results
- Ability to work with a diverse team as well as operate independently, prioritize work, and make progress in ambiguous environments
- Clear communicator who can explain complex ideas across disciplines
- Comfort iterating quickly and revising assumptions as new data emerges
- Comfortable coding in python or similar languages
Benefits
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision benefits
- 10 paid holidays and a company-wide December holiday break
- Generous paid vacation and sick time
- Meaningful equity in the form of stock options
