Design fusion-plant piping and piping-system R&D, including layouts, materials, stress analysis and 3D CAD. Requires relevant plant or piping experience, ASME/JIS knowledge and intermediate English.
About this role
This role is part of the technology development function and focuses on research, development and engineering design related to fusion plants. The work covers investigations into elemental technologies and the development of systems for major fusion reactor equipment, including blanket systems, divertor systems and tritium management systems.
Responsibilities range from basic design through production design and industrialization. The engineer will also coordinate technical specifications with customers and procurement manufacturers. The role may involve technical coordination with overseas customers and manufacturers, as well as installation and testing support overseas, mainly in Europe and North America. Overseas business travel is expected, and participation in academic conference presentations may occasionally be required.
Applicants must have completed a four-year university or graduate degree in mechanical engineering, materials engineering, chemical engineering, nuclear engineering, or electrical and electronic engineering. Intermediate English is required; advanced English is welcomed. Knowledge of nuclear power or fusion is not required. Experience or expertise in plasma physics, electromagnetics, or control and information engineering is welcomed, as is experience working at a technology startup.
Domestic and international transfers may occur. Employment may also be offered as a contract employee.
Remote work is negotiable for people living within commuting distance.
