Company info
- Acceleron Fusion is developing muon‑catalyzed fusion-a path to clean, abundant energy. Building on research sponsored by the U.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 Experimental Physicist who will play a key role in the design and optimization of muon production systems for our fusion technology.
