Plasma Physicist

ThrustMe

Paris, France

As Plasma Physicist at ThrustMe’s Innovation team, you will be in charge of the development of new concepts and early-stage prototypes of plasma systems for ionosphere representation. You will also work on challenging beam and plasma diagnostic problems, ranging from plasma characterization to setting up home-made diagnostic tools like ExB and time-of-flight probes. By joining the Innovation Team, you will be at the interface between research and new product development, defining novel concepts and turning them into future cutting-edge technologies.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Plasma simulation (global models, PIC)
• Design of proof-of-concept plasma systems.
• Design and assembly of plasma diagnostics.
• Conducting experimental campaigns.
• Participate to the creation and protection of related intellectual property (patents, know-how) and dissemination activities (presenting at conferences, writing research and engineering articles).
• Tightly collaborate with physicists and engineers in the innovation team to find solutions for complex multi-disciplinary topics through brainstorming and in-house research activities.
• Everyday learning of new technologies and continuous improvement.
• Regularly reporting to the Head of Innovation.

Required skills and qualifications

• PhD degree in plasma physics.
• Solid experimental plasma experience, 3+ years.
• RF power skills is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently.
• Communicates in English fluently.
