Fuel Scientist

Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 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

Your responsibilities

• Initiate and develop an R&D stream focused on fuel and fusible materials integration into experimental targets for in-house use.

• Investigate hydrogen isotope exchange reactions relevant to fuel materials, through hands-on laboratory work and/or modeling and simulation.

• Materials characterization: chemical and elemental analysis, including characterisation of hydrogen isotopes and light elements (atomic number < 9).

• Coordinating multi-partner consortia and associated reporting: build and maintain collabo-rations with academic and industrial partners;

• Drafting of public funding applications.

• Mentor junior scientists and coordinate cross-functional teams.

• Documentation and reporting: write and oversee technical and safety documentation, pro-tocol development, and contribute to internal, external, and funding-body reports.

What you bring

• 8+ years of experience in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or a re-lated field, with demonstrated seniority in an R&D environment.

• A background in isotope exchange chemistry, from experimental or computational work.

• Experience in analytical techniques for hydrogen isotopes and light elements (atomic number < 9), such as ToF-SIMS, nano-SIMS, APT, Raman spectroscopy, NRA, ERDA, NMR, FTIR, GDOES or equivalent.

• Practical experience working with processes under inert atmosphere for sensitive or re-active materials.

• A track record leading or contributing to multi-partner research or industrial collabora-tions.

• Experience leading or contributing to public funding applications, with a track record of awarded proposals.

• Providing technical leadership and mentoring junior scientists and engineers in an ex-perimental environment with evolving priorities.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, including technical writing for proposals and reports.

What sets you apart

• Experience in fusion, plasma physics, inertial confinement fusion (ICF), or energy systems.

• Experience with vacuum and gas-handling systems for hydrogen isotope work.

• Publication record or recognized expertise in hydrogen isotope chemistry or hydrogen stor-age materials.

• Awareness of tritium-specific handling, safety, and regulatory considerations, even without direct hands-on tritium experience.
