Part-time Market Analyst – Customer Discovery (2 positions) - Contract to Hire

Part-time Market Analyst – Customer Discovery (2 positions) Domains: Automotive & Trucking Consumer Electronics (laptops, memory, workstations, etc.) Commitment: ~10 hours / week Location: 100% remote About Fusion Dynamics Fusion Dynamics is developing solid-state plasma actuators that move air using electric fields, bringing aerospace-grade flow control into everyday electronics. Our technology replaces conventional fans with a silent, ultra-thin ionic airflow module that uses about one third of the power, has no moving parts, and can be integrated directly onto heat sinks, cold plates, or chassis walls. Originating from plasma flow control research in Oxford, our platform uses carefully shaped electrodes and high-voltage waveforms to generate smooth, directed jets of air. This enables precise, fast control of airflow and significantly improves thermal performance in laptops, workstations, edge AI systems, and dense networking hardware.
