- Translate design requirements into functional stellarator components and systems.
- Develop system and component designs and associated technical specifications for RRP systems.
- Analyze and align the interface requirements between and among stellarator systems.
- Develop procurement packages for the fabrication of stellarator components and act as Technical Project Officer for these procurements, monitoring the fabrication cost and schedule as well as resolving technical questions which may occur during the fabrication efforts.
Required Qualifications and Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, Master’s degree is preferred.
- Experience with design of first of a kind components.
- Familiarity with Computer Aided Design and Analysis software
- Experience with design of fusion energy systems and equipment is desirable
