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.
Designing and building a fusion reactor of any kind is a massive undertaking, with over 20 individual systems each with interacting performance requirements. Because ours is built in modular blocks that are factory-made and replaced on site, every boundary between these systems is a joint, a pipe, a cable or a tolerance that has to be agreed, checked and kept, requiring a holistic view of the completed engineering system and ensuring well-disciplined tradeoffs to arrive at a design solution that works. Orchestrating it all is the Systems Engineering & Interfaces lead, who directs the system balances, maintains interface control, prioritizes tradeoffs, and keeps a robust well-documented engineering library of requirements and design solutions.
You will be Starforge's first Systems Engineering lead, owning architecture, requirements, interfaces and configuration across Unit One. You will report to the Head of Physics & Reactor Design and work closely with all engineering leads.
