Accelerator Physicist
Tachyon Industrial, Redwood City
The role
We're looking for an accelerator physicist to contribute to machine physics for our first linac and the machines that follow it. You'll work across beam dynamics, machine performance, and commissioning, and you'll be one of the people in the room translating physics requirements into a machine that actually runs.
This role sits at the intersection of the RF, mechanical, and controls work happening across the company — you'll be pulling those pieces together into a coherent picture of how the accelerator performs, where its limits are, and what it takes to hit our performance targets.
What you will do
- Build capability in machine physics for the accelerator: beam dynamics, lattice performance, error and tolerance budgets, and how subsystem choices (RF, magnets, diagnostics) roll up into overall machine performance
- Lead or support commissioning:
