Established in 2002, General Fusion is a global leader in the race to commercialize clean fusion energy. Today at our state-of-the‑art labs in Richmond, BC, we’re operating a groundbreaking fusion demonstration machine called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), designed to achieve transformational technical milestones and accelerate General Fusion’s technology to commercialization. Our path to market is funded by a global syndicate of leading energy venture capital firms, industry leaders, and technology pioneers.

We are seeking an experimental physicist or engineer with a strong background in physics to join our Plasma Diagnostics Team as a plasma diagnostician. The diagnostician will take ownership of the UV‑visible ion Doppler spectroscopy diagnostic system, providing calibrated and processed experimental data with known lineage and error. Responsible for the ion Doppler spectroscopy plasma diagnostic systems used to measure ion temperature and rotation velocity.

Plan, design, operate, troubleshoot, and ensure data quality of diagnostic systems. Support other spectroscopy diagnostic systems and spectroscopy data analysis. Drive improvement of diagnostic measurement by developing, testing and implementing design improvements.

Develop and maintain data processing and analysis code. Analyze data, extending our understanding of plasmas and plasma compression by relating experimental data with theory and simulation. MSc or PhD in physics, engineering physics or related field.





Minimum 3 years relevant work experience in a physics laboratory environment, carrying out physical experiments and analyzing measured data. fibers, windows, lenses.

Experience in designing, testing and debugging instrumentation for experimental or industrial settings. Ability to manage multi‑disciplinary projects in collaboration with external parties. Ability to translate basic mathematical and physics concepts into real‑world applications. Strong programming skills;

experience with Python.

experience working hands‑on with plasma diagnostic systems is an asset.

Experience with Zemax or equivalent optical design software preferred. Familiarity with data acquisition hardware, signal processing, and/or EM noise treatment preferred.

Experience in scientific writing of manuscripts and reports, and presentation of scientific findings preferred. Positive understanding of statistics and error analysis preferred. SolidWorks or similar CAD software preferred.
