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.

• Investigate, evaluate, and select readout, data link, and processing architectures for detectors operating in harsh interaction environments; own the resulting system architecture and document the trade-offs behind it.
• Design and implement readout electronics for imaging and particle detectors, including CMOS/CCD sensor interfacing, high-speed serial data links, and FPGA-based data acquisition.
• Develop FPGA firmware (VHDL/Verilog, Vivado/Vitis or equivalent) together with host-side acquisition, control, and visualisation software.
• Develop robust triggering and gating schemes with sub-nanosecond timing accuracy, including fibre-optic trigger and data distribution, synchronised to laser operation at repetition rates up to 10 Hz and beyond.
• Engineer EMP- and EMI-resilient electronics: grounding and isolation topologies, shielding concepts, cable and connector selection, and mitigation of coupling paths into in-chamber and near-chamber electronics.
• Specify and qualify components and subsystems for sustained, long-lived operation in the experimental environment; define and run the associated test and validation campaigns.
• Identify, evaluate, and manage external partners – specialist component suppliers, design houses, and research institutes – where capability is best sourced externally, and integrate their deliverables into our systems.
• Engineer diagnostics as transportable, beamtime-ready packages, and support their commissioning and field deployment at remote experimental facilities including the communication path from device to database storage
• Collaborate closely with IT, mechanical engineers, physicists to ensure networking, electronics, enclosure, cooling, and vacuum concepts are developed as one system.
• Participate in experimental preparation and execution alongside the rest of the scientific team
• Provide electronics and readout expertise across the wider diagnostics portfolio of the team.
