About the role
- With the use and commercialization of laser-induced inertial fusion, a clean and highly efficient power generation technology is coming within reach, suitable to ensure a secure and scalable future energy supply.
- Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, Focused Energy will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain integrated optical and multiphysics simulation frameworks (optical, thermal, mechanical coupling) for Digital Twin applications
- Build, integrate, and continuously refine the Digital Twin environment for system-level prediction and optimization
- Validate simulation models against experimental data and perform sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
- Develop reduced-order and surrogate models for efficient Digital Twin deployment
- Collaborate with optical engineers, laser physicists, and experimental teams to translate simulation results into engineering design decisions
Requirements
- Strong experience in optical and multiphysics simulation of complex physical systems
- Ability to couple multiple physical domains (optical, thermal, mechanical, fluid) into coherent system-level models
- Experience in model validation, uncertainty quantification, and data-driven refinement
- Experience with simulation tools such as COMSOL, ANSYS, Zemax, CodeV, or FRED
- Ability to communicate complex simulation results clearly to non-specialists
- Ability to work independently while aligning with broader system goals
- Familiarity with MDO workflows (UQ, DoE, ML training) and metamodelling / surrogate techniques (ROM, Digital Twin)
- Experience with HPC batch schedulers and automation scripts
- Familiarity with Monte Carlo techniques
- Hands-on R&D testing experience with laser systems or optomechanical assemblies
Skills
- Focused Energy is a fusion energy startup with the goal of generating unlimited clean energy to responsibly meet future global demand.
Compensation
- Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
