Summary and responsibilities

Role overview

Summary

As an Accelerator Physics Lead, you will work across beam physics, cathode engineering, and pulsed power, from simulation and design through to assembly and testing of hardware. This role involves an equal balance of theoretical/simulation work and hands-on lab experimentation, with the goal of developing a high-energy beam for lab and field applications.

What you’ll do:

You'll work across beam physics, cathode engineering, and pulsed power, from simulation and design through to assembly and testing of the hardware. The role is roughly equal parts theory/simulation and experiment, with significant hands-on lab work. Our goal is to have a working high-energy beam for lab experiments in short order, with field-capable hardware to follow.

We're looking for:

  • Graduate-level degree or equivalent in accelerator or beam physics; experience with space-charge-dominated beams is an asset

  • Hands-on experience with electron guns, pulsed power systems, and/or beam transport

  • Comfort working across theory and experiment; we're a small team and generalists thrive here

  • Familiarity with electron gun codes (OmniTrak, GPT, CST, or similar), and/or PIC codes such as WarpX or Vsim is a plus
