Join us in our mission to commercialize fusion energy ️

About Type One Energy

Type One Energy Group is mission-driven to provide sustainable, affordable fusion power to the world. Established in 2019 and venture-backed in 2023, the company is led by a team of globally recognized fusion scientists with a strong track record of building state-of-the-art stellarator fusion machines, together with veteran business leaders experienced in scaling companies and commercializing energy technologies.

If you are searching for the best new ideas and share our vision, join us as a ”. This is what you need to know:

Location: Knoxville TN, Madison WI or Vancouver BC

Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent, full time

Reporting to: Senior Director of Physics Analysis

Your role in the mission:

Type One Energy is seeking Computational Physicists to contribute to the development of high-fidelity models and simulations supporting stellarator design and operation. These roles will focus on predictive modeling of plasma behavior across core, edge, and boundary regions, enabling data-driven design decisions and advancing fusion performance.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of theory, simulation, and engineering, contributing directly to the realization of commercial fusion energy.

You will work closely with Engineers and Scientists and will also be responsible for:

Developing and execute integrated modeling frameworks to simulate and predict plasma operational scenarios
Performing plasma profile and fusion performance predictions using gyrokinetic turbulence simulations and reduced models
Contribute to the development and validation of simulation tools for divertor and boundary plasma physics
Support integrated core-edge modeling and analysis to evaluate plasma performance and stability
Model a range of plasma phenomena, including:
- Neoclassical transport
- Energetic particle transport
- Plasma-neutral interactions and boundary physics
- MHD equilibrium and stability
- Pellet fueling
- Electron cyclotron heating (ECH)
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to provide physics-based insights that inform system design and optimization
Analyze simulation outputs and experimental data to validate models and improve predictive capability
Document findings through technical reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications

What you’ll need:

PhD in Plasma Physics, Computational Physics, Nuclear Engineering, or a related field
Strong background in plasma physics theory and numerical simulation methods
Experience with one or more of the following:

Gyrokinetic simulation codes

MHD equilibrium and stability tools

Edge/divertor modeling simulation code experience

Integrated modeling codes

Proficiency in scientific programming (e.g., Python, C++, Fortran) and high-performance computing (HPC) environments
Experience with data analysis and visualization tools
Demonstrated ability to work in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with stellarator physics and optimization
Familiarity with core-edge coupling and integrated simulation workflows
Prior involvement in fusion experiments or large-scale simulation projects
Track record of peer-reviewed publications in relevant fields

We offer:

In addition to a basic salary and yearly bonus, you will also get…

A hybrid work policy
Stock options
Relocation allowance
Insurance plans
Retirement options
And many more great voluntary benefits

Type One Energy applies proven advanced manufacturing methods, modern computational physics and high-field superconducting magnets to develop its optimized stellarator fusion energy system.
