Starforge is on a mission to make fusion energy a practical utility by factory-manufacturing modular, fleet-deployable fusion reactors. We are fusion's Henry Ford moment.
Our first reactor product line, Unit One, is a 250 MWe spherical tokamak, built from demountable high-temperature superconducting magnets and designed in modular blocks so that every component can be factory-manufactured as well as replaced on site.
Our team comes from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, MIT, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Tokamak Energy, KIT, Lilium, and GE.
Come and join us in building the future.
Every fusion magnet we build has to be cooled to cryogenic temperatures and kept there. On our test stands, that means cryocoolers, liquid nitrogen and helium, thermal links and radiation. In Unit One, it means cooling a full set of reactor magnets, where every watt of heat load costs electricity the plant would otherwise sell. We are designing the cryogenic systems for our next magnet test stands and prototype magnet systems now, and the Unit One cooling concept alongside. This is your chance to set how fusion magnets are kept cold, from the first test cryostat to a reactor.
You will be our first dedicated cryogenics engineer. You will report to the Head of Physics and Reactor Design, and work closely with our mechanical, magnet and CAD engineers, and with our research and commercial partners.
