Simons Stellarator Optimizer Code (by hiddenSymmetries)
ParticleRigidityCalculationTools
A set of Python functions for processing and converting data in units of particle kinetic energy to units of particle rigidity (typically expressed in GV; gigavolts) and vice versa. This is frequently done in the field of solar system radiation physics. (by ssc-maire)

stellarator math problems: boozer surface approach
Coil configurations are typically obtained numerically. You might know https://github.com/hiddenSymmetries/simsopt already, but if not, it's worth having a look at their example problems and understanding what's going on

Getting into fusion as a space physicist
It sounds like to me that you are tied to a specific region or university? If so it might be difficult to get involved. However, a lot of work, especially on stellarator optimization, is done remotely, and tools are somewhat easy to get. For example, the simsopt project is fully open source, but it does involve compiling VMEC which is a pain. If you're willing to share your university/area of the country, then I can see if I know anyone involved in fusion research in your area.

I've created a Python library for converting particle kinetic energies into magnetic rigidities and vice versa
The library is called ParticleRigidityCalculationTools, and for those who are interested it can be found at https://pypi.org/project/ParticleRigidityCalculationTools/ for those who like using pip, or at its GitHub page: https://github.com/ChrisSWDavis/ParticleRigidityCalculationTools .
