About us Acceleron Fusion is developing muon‑catalyzed fusion—a path to clean, abundant energy. S. DOE, we have recently raised a $24M Series A venture capital round and have already logged 100+ hours of muon-catalyzed fusion in tests at the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Our collaborators include PSI, Oak Ridge, Argonne, Fermilab, and several universities. Join a team where fundamental physics meets application-oriented engineering, and your designs could help move our technology from the laboratory to a commercial energy source. We have an opening for an Accelerator Physicist who will play a key role in the design and optimization of muon production systems for our fusion technology.

What You'Ll Do

: Design and optimize particle accelerator systems and beamlines for muon production Develop simulation models of accelerators and beams to analyze beam dynamics and particle interactions Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate accelerator designs into our fusion system Contribute to experimental planning and data analysis Help establish technical specifications for system components Author technical papers and contribute to the company's scientific publications, presenting research at scientific conferences

What We'Re Looking For

: PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, preferably with a focus on accelerator physics Strong understanding of beam dynamics and accelerator systems Demonstrated understanding of accelerator physics principles for beamlines, synchrotrons, and storage rings, including the theory of polarized beams Experience with particle accelerator simulation tools Track record of working successfully with other scientists and engineers to solve complex technical challenges Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities Strong communication and collaboration skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced team

Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)

Post-doctoral research experience in accelerator physics Hands-on experience with physics/particle accelerator operations or development Background in muon physics or muon beamline design Familiarity with high-frequency electronics or RF accelerator components. Experience with safety systems for high-power or high-voltage electronics. g.
