## Job description

## Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 120 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado.

Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.

## Why Marvel Fusion

By joining us, you will be:

- Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth
- Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy
- Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion
- Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default

The impact you will make

Our mission is to unlock the potential of fusion power generation: abundant, clean, economic, and safe energy. On the critical path is the demonstration of the key features of Marvel Fusion’s unique fusion approach leveraging ultra-high intensity, short-pulse lasers. This is your chance to become part of a pioneering company with the opportunity to make a decisive contribution to the global energy transition.

As Senior Manager Technology Partnerships in the Laser Team, you will work closely with the Scientists & Engineers from the Laser & Infrastructure Teams and be the key interface to corporate functions, e.g. Accounting, Purchasing, and Financial Planning. Because technology partnership development and R&D program execution are closely intertwined in this role, you will oversee some core laser-related projects and programs in a holistic way and lead the operational tasks for these. In parallel, you will build up strategic technology partnerships, take ownership in applying for and managing publicly funded projects, and take over stakeholder management. Lastly, you will support the build-up of the supply chain.

You are part of a diverse team and work collaboratively with business professionals, scientists, and engineers in a highly dynamic working environment. Working with us offers you a wide range of opportunities to develop professionally and personally, show initiative, take responsibility, and help make influential decisions.

- Continue developing joint roadmaps & co-development projects with key partners
- Support supplier development and qualification for critical laser components
- Contribute to the transition from R&D prototypes towards industrialization and scale-up

Project & Program Management (PMO)

- PMO ownership for a laser-related program: project governance, portfolio management, budget & resource planning, risk management, etc.
- Financial budget planning & regular KPI reporting to the Laser/Infrastructure Management Team
- Make sure programs stay on track while keeping teams focused and motivated
- Conception, coordination, and management of strategic and operational projects with internal and external partners

Cross-cutting

- Successful completion of a complex project
- Technical affinity to engage credibly with laser/optics engineering counterparts
- Professional-level skills in Excel, PowerPoint, and Project Management Tools
- Fluency in English & German

What sets you apart

- Having a background in both business & technical fields is a strong plus
- Prior experience with lasers or the optical industry in general is a strong plus
- Prior experience with publicly funded projects and/or R&D projects is a strong plus

## What we offer

Our mission is motivation enough for many. But we also support our team with benefits that foster wellbeing and growth:

- Public Transport Subsidy
- Employee Incentive Program
- Phone Bill Reimbursement
- Wellpass or Complimentary Private Health Insurance
- Professional Learning & Development Budget

## About Marvel Fusion

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Electric Power Generation / Fusion Energy
- **Target customers**: B2B – utilities, grid operators, and industrial energy consumers
- **Mission**: “Enable humankind to access clean, safe & reliable energy by developing a laser-driven fusion power plant”

## Products & Services
- **Laser-Driven Fusion Power Plant**: An advanced inertial fusion energy concept combining a proprietary fast ignitor with innovations in laser technology, target design, and energy extraction. The approach builds on the validated physics demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility in 2022 and aims to eliminate the need for tritium through alternative fuel cycles.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding exceeds **USD 400 million** (public + private) per the company website; LinkedIn reports **USD 187.2 million** in tracked funding rounds – the difference likely reflects additional public grants and undisclosed investments.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: EQT Ventures, Siemens Energy, European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund, Tengelmann Ventures, and a network of leading industrial suppliers.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount of **81 employees** (42.9% YoY growth)
  - Inauguration of new experimental chamber “LION 2” at CALA in Garching, Munich (July 2025)
  - Awarded U.S. DOE grant to advance laser fusion (September 2025)
  - Public-private partnership with Colorado State University and infrastructure program in Fort Collins, Colorado
  - Selected for EIC STEP Scale Up Program with potential investment up to EUR 30 million

## Competitive Advantages
- **Validated physics**: Approach is based on the fusion ignition gain demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility (2022), reducing technical risk.
- **Proprietary fast ignitor concept** that could lower costs and increase efficiency compared to other inertial fusion designs.
- **Alternative fuel cycles**: Potential to operate without tritium, simplifying fuel supply and waste management.
- **Strong industrial partnerships**: Strategic collaboration with Siemens Energy and deep ties to European and U.S. supply chains.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling laser-driven fusion toward commercial deployment by advancing laser optics (FusioTile project), target manufacturing, and power plant engineering.
- Expanding U.S. operations: appointment of Puja Gupta as EVP to lead U.S. activities and a major infrastructure hub in Fort Collins, Colorado.
- Securing additional public and private funding to bridge from demonstration to pilot plant.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include ownership, empowerment, clarity & trust, diversity of thought, and collaboration. Decisions happen close to the work, and transparency is emphasized.
- **Work model**: Hybrid – offices in Munich (Germany) and Fort Collins, Colorado (U.S.). Some roles may be on-site due to lab and experimental work.
- **Engineering focus**: Opportunities across experimental physics, laser science, controls, IT infrastructure, and data engineering. Active job postings: 11 (as of mid-2026).
- **Perks**: Not publicly detailed, but the company emphasizes impact – working on a breakthrough energy technology with a mission-driven team.
- **Employee sentiment**: LinkedIn rating 3.0/5.0 (7 reviews) with lower scores in compensation (2.3) and career (2.1), but higher in work-life balance (3.4). Small sample size.
