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 robotics engineering role focuses on remote-handling technology for fusion-reactor equipment such as blankets and divertors in highly activated environments. It works across industrial robotics and mechatronics, coordinating with external robotics manufacturers and suppliers on fusion projects.
The engineer develops handling concepts for reactor geometries and analyzes interference, tolerances, and positioning accuracy. Work includes conceptual design of manipulators, end effectors, transport carts, and sensing systems; development of remote connection mechanisms, remote welding, and casks; mock-up test planning and evaluation; supply-chain development; and procurement specifications. Named design tools include CATIA, SolidWorks, and NX.
Applicants need about three years of practical experience designing and developing mechanisms for industrial robots, automated equipment, or mechatronic devices. They also need 3D-CAD skills for mechanism design, tolerance analysis, and interference checking. Fusion or nuclear experience is not required.
