Focused Energy is building the future of clean energy through laser-driven inertial fusion.
Backed by our $240M Series A — the largest fully secured Series A in the global fusion industry — we are scaling rapidly across multiple geographies.
Based in Germany and the US, we have brought together the top scientific and engineering minds using proven technologies to unlock fusion power at commercial scale.
Focused Energy is working to realize game-changing scientific innovation that promises to deliver a clean, sustainable and abundant source of power globally.
Your RoleThis role sits at the intersection of ML engineering and computational physics, working within our Software Engineering & Digital Twin environments.
You'll collaborate closely with optical engineers, laser and fusion physicists, simulation scientists, and systems engineers to embed data-driven intelligence directly into our Digital Twin architecture.
You’ll be reducing design risk, shortening development timelines, and unlocking system-level optimization that purely physics-based approaches can't achieve at the speed we need.
You will design, build, and deploy machine learning models that enhance, accelerate, and augment our multiphysics simulation environments across our high-energy laser systems, target injection and tracking system, target manufacturing system, and fusion chamber.
This will enable faster design cycles, predictive system optimization, and real-time decision support across our laser, targetry, and fusion programs.
What You'll DoSurrogate & reduced-order modeling: Design and deploy surrogate and reduced-order models (ROMs) that replace or accelerate high-fidelity multiphysics simulations in the Digital Twin environmentPhysics-informed ML: Develop physics-informed machine learning (PIML) and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) that embed physical constraints (Maxwell's equations, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics) directly into model architecturesML pipelines: Build and maintain ML pipe.
