# Lead Laser Scientist

**Marvel Fusion** · Munich

Apply: https://job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/marvelfusion/jobs/4954074101

## About Marvel Fusion

Marvel Fusion is on a mission to build the world’s first fusion power plant. Discover how our advanced laser fusion technology will deliver scalable, and globally competitive energy for generations to come.

## About the role

#### 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
**The impact you will make**

As a key contributor at the forefront of high-power laser fusion science, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of laser technology, driving innovations that redefine energy generation. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and leading experts worldwide, your work will directly influence cutting-edge fusion concepts. This is a hands-on opportunity to grow in a dynamic, multinational environment while making a lasting impact on sustainable energy.

**Your responsibilities**

- Build, operate and stabilize the frequency-comb front end — set up, run, lock and maintain the comb source in the lab.

- Build, stabilize and characterize cavities — assemble, align, lock and optimize the reference and enhancement cavities.

- Carry out the hands-on lab work of the subsystem — alignment, troubleshooting, measurement and optimization, working independently.

- Work with the multidisciplinary team to integrate your subsystem with the amplification, synthesis and other advanced technologies into the overall system design.

- Utilize common laser diagnostic and nonlinear techniques to measure and analyze ultrafast pulses.

- Document experimental procedures, results, and design recommendations in a structured and traceable manner

- Contribute to the continuous improvement of the laser system, diagnostics and workflows.

- Contribute to laser-operation procedures and safety protocols and ensure compliance with safety standards.

 

**What you bring**

- Master's degree or PhD in Physics, Optical Engineering, Laser Engineering, Photonics, or a related field.

- Experimental expertise across ultrafast-laser sources — diode-pumped solid-state, short-pulse and fiber lasers and amplifiers — and their diagnostics.

- Practical experience with optical alignment, laser operation, and laboratory troubleshooting.

- Hands-on experience in optical frequency combs and their stabilization

- Hands-on experience with high-finesse optical cavities — alignment, locking, mode-matching, and finesse/loss optimization

- Practical experience with locking electronics and feedback/servo loops

- Programming and data-analysis skills (e.g. Python) for measurement automation and analysis.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a structured approach to technical challenges

- A hands-on, self-driven and collaborative working style — you enjoy digging into complex problems with attention to detail in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

**What we offer**

Our mission is motivation enough for many. But we also support our team with benefits that foster wellbeing and growth:

- Public Transport Subsidy

- Employee Incentive Program

- Phone Bill Reimbursement

- Wellpass or Complimentary Private Health Insurance

- Professional Learning & Development Budget

- Relocation Support

- Company Pension Plan

- 30 Days of Vacation plus additional half day on 24. & 31.Dec.

- Modern Office in the center of Munich

- Healthy office snacks

- Regular Team Events
