Image Recognition Expert, AI Engineer

at  Focused

Focused Energy is a fusion energy startup with the goal of generating unlimited clean energy to responsibly meet future global demand. The founders include two highly renowned scientists and a long-time entrepreneur and founder of several successful startups. With the use and commercialization of laser-induced inertial fusion, a clean and highly efficient power generation technology is coming within reach, suitable to ensure a secure and scalable future energy supply.
Our approach not only paves the way for renewable energy generation but also enables the creation of versatile and bright laser-driven radiation sources (LDRS). This novel and compact technology offers broad application fields and promises to transform conventional methods of non-destructive testing. With our laser-driven radiation sources, we tackle unresolved societal and technical challenges, such as making nuclear waste suitable for long-term storage, we enable our energy infrastructure to be ready for the transition to renewable energy and helping to prevent illegal smuggling across our borders. Our spin-off technology not only allows cost reduction in fusion technology but also the advancement of the necessary components. This accelerates the deployment of fusion reactors while simultaneously contributing to solving other pressing issues of our time.
We are seeking a skilled Image Recognition Expert / AI Engineer to join our team and help us shape the future of energy.
