I applied online. I interviewed at Proxima Fusion (Munich, Bavaria) in Jun 2026
Interview
2 Interviews followed by a project. After 2 weeks, a project review and live coding session for physics modeling (failed there). If it succeeded, the next would be physics modeling. Well treated at live coding - good directed
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At live coding, a targeted projectile model and solution are requested.
3 rounds of technical interviews, that checked different aspects of analytical reasoning, breaking down and talking through an engineering probelm, as well as live programming. They didn't probe much for knowledge but a lot for reasoning.

Question 1
How does a higher order lower resolution discretization trade off against the current implementation
