Computational Physicist - Research Software Architect (General Fusion)

仕事内容

Position: Computational Physicist – Research Software ArchitectLocation:Richmond, BC, CanadaGeneral Fusion is transforming how the world is energized by developing the first commercially-viable fusion power plant. Fusion will deliver clean, safe, and on-demand power at industrial scale, providing a powerful complement to renewables and a pathway to a zero-emissions grid.Combining new technologies, proven industrial processes, and advances in fundamental fusion science, General Fusion aims to be the first in the world to develop commercial fusion power. Key performance requirements have been demonstrated at the system level, setting the stage for building a pre-commercial fusion power prototype.Position OverviewA key member of the Applied Physics Team, the Research Software Architect is and experience computational scientist with a proven record in research software development. This individual will play a central role in developing General Fusion’s next generation of Magnetized Target Fusion whole-device model code.Key Responsibilities

• Working as a research software lead within the Applied Physics team to develop pulsar coding project
• Write, develop, and integrate code
• Develop Best Practices for software engineering as part of the Pulsar Project
• Collaborate with IT, Applied Physics on cluster development.
• Opportunity to liaise with outside supercomputing centers, DOE Labs.
• Evaluate and interpret legacy processes and codes and make recommendations on continuous improvement.
