Your Role
- Focused Energy is looking for a Senior Scientist to bring deep theoretical and simulation expertise in laser-plasma interaction (LPI) modeling, beam smoothing, and laser-target coupling to our Science team. This is a role that spans both the laser system and target physics sides of the house, translating laser system capabilities into target physics requirements, and target physics needs into laser beam requirements, an end-to-end view that is critical to refining our roadmap forward.
- You will act as a scientific anchor for the beam smoothing project and a trusted theoretical resource across several teams: supporting implementation work, providing simulation and theory support for LPI research, and contributing to the design and interpretation of experiments. Your work will directly shape beam requirements (picket, drive, beam port design) and the physics roadmap that underpins our path to fusion energy at commercial scale.
What You'll Do
Provide theoretical and simulation support on the beam smoothing project.
Coordinate laser beam requirements, including picket and drive beam design and beam port design.
Support the roadmap, partnering with the diagnostics team and leading physics efforts.
Provide theoretical support for implementation in the DUED code.
Provide theoretical support for LPI science across LPI experiments and simulations.
Partner closely with the beam smoothing team, the laser and science teams working on beam requirements, the target design team, and the target physics team on LPI risk mitigation and imprint/hydrodynamic instabilities.
Must-haves
- PhD in plasma physics or an equivalent field.
- 10+ years of post-doc or staff scientist experience.
- Strong theoretical and simulation knowledge of beam smoothing techniques.
