Electrical Technician, Magnet Systems

Proxima Fusion is Europe’s fastest-growing fusion company and the continent’s best-funded fusion player, as well as the first spin-out from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP). 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.

Our 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.

Turning 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.

We are looking for an Electrical Technician to support our R&D activities across our sites in Villigen and Böttstein, Aargau. You will be responsible for developing electrical infrastructure and executing electrical installation, maintenance and troubleshooting tasks for our R&D facilities & experiments. Your work will directly enable our teams to build, test, and iterate faster.

You will help connect our experiments to their measurement and control systems.

You will support the definition and upgrade of electrical infrastructure for our R&D program

Reliable operation depends on fast diagnosis and safe maintenance of electrical systems.

We are looking for an Electrical Technician who is safety-conscious, deeply practical, and enjoys making technical systems work reliably.

• Driving license valid in Switzerland

• Experience in R&D environments

• Experience drawing and updating Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs) and developing power distribution networks

• Familiarity with ECAD software

• Experience with power supplies, low-voltage industrial systems, or control cabinets

• Recruiter Interview (30-60 min)

• Technical Screening (30 min)

• Technical Panel (3x60 min)

*This role sits at L2 of our framework, please inquire during the recruitment process for further information.

At 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.
