Internship - Software Engineer

Proxima Fusion is at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation, developing commercially viable fusion power plants based on the W7-X stellarator technology. The company combines cutting-edge computation and machine learning to optimize stellarator design, pushing the boundaries of fusion technology with high-temperature superconducting magnets.

As a Software Engineering Intern at Proxima Fusion, you'll be immersed in the development of their bleeding-edge stellarator simulation platform. Based in Munich, you'll work alongside experienced software engineers on complex technical challenges that directly contribute to the design of their net-energy stellarator, Alpha. This isn't just a learning opportunity – you'll be writing production-grade code and collaborating across disciplines from day one.

The role offers unique exposure to both scientific computing and modern web development, as you'll help build and maintain the entire stack of their stellarator design and simulation framework. You'll work on improving the user experience of web applications that researchers use to interact with simulation pipelines, combining technical skills with practical impact.

This internship is ideal for STEM students passionate about clean energy who want to contribute to groundbreaking technology while developing their software engineering skills. You'll join a high-performing, diverse team that values different perspectives and challenges assumptions, all while working towards the bold mission of making limitless clean energy a reality.
