Alpha Plant Systems Lead

In this role you will shape the architecture of Proxima’s Alpha facility by owning the design, integration, and delivery of essential ancillary systems. You will coordinate across plasma physics, magnets, cryogenics, and facilities to turn advanced fusion concepts into a scalable, safe installation. You’ll lead cross-disciplinary teams, manage external contractors, and drive practical engineering solutions that bring a net energy gain stellarator closer to reality. This is a hands-on opportunity to influence the first-of-a-kind energy technology at scale.

• Own integrated design of ancillary systems and interconnecting infrastructure for Alpha facility
• Modernize engineering with techniques like BIM and 4D planning
• Manage interfaces and budget while collaborating with stellarator teams and regulators
• Lead cross-system execution to unblock challenges and inform facility trade decisions
• Define safety logic and lead installation, commissioning, and maintenance strategies

• End-to-end infrastructure delivery experience from design through commissioning and handover
• Experience delivering complex plant engineering and facilities (manufacturing, data centers, refineries, chemical plants, or industrial gas)
• Strong technical judgment to lead design decisions on complex facility integration
• Systems thinking and execution mindset with ability to balance multidisciplinary input
• Agility and leadership in fast-moving, high-growth environments
• Ability to manage large internal and external work packages

• team player
• bias to action
• multidisciplinary collaboration
• end-to-end project delivery
• systems integration design
• Building Information Modeling (BIM)
