Paris, France

As Plasma Physicist at ThrustMe’s Innovation team, you will be in charge of the development of new concepts and early‑stage prototypes of plasma systems for ionosphere representation. You will also work on challenging beam and plasma diagnostic problems, ranging from plasma characterization to setting up home‑made diagnostic tools like ExB and time‑of‑flight probes. By joining the Innovation Team, you will be at the interface between research and new product development, defining novel concepts and turning them into future cutting‑edge technologies.

Main tasks and responsibilities

• Plasma simulation (global models, PIC)
• Design of proof‑of‑concept plasma systems.
• Design and assembly of plasma diagnostics.
• Conducting experimental campaigns.
• Participate to the creation and protection of related intellectual property (patents, know‑how) and dissemination activities (presenting at conferences, writing research and engineering articles).
• Tightly collaborate with physicists and engineers in the innovation team to find solutions for complex multi‑disciplinary topics through brainstorming and in‑house research activities.
• Everyday learning of new technologies and continuous improvement.
• Regularly reporting to the Head of Innovation.

Required skills and qualifications

• PhD degree in plasma physics.
• Solid experimental plasma experience, 3+ years.
• RF power skills is a plus.
