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 lead-level RF and millimeter-wave systems engineering role supports gyrotron-based plasma-heating systems for fusion energy. It covers the design and development of gyrotron tubes and related quasi-optical transmission and waveguide components used to transmit high-power microwave energy efficiently and stably.
Responsibilities include requirements-based design and simulation, optimization for manufacturability, reliability, and efficiency, and test verification of gyrotron systems. The engineer also performs hands-on measurements using spectrum analyzers, power measurement, and mode-pattern measurement equipment, documents the design process, and joins technical discussions with customers. Named tools and languages include CST, HFSS, COMSOL, Python, Julia, and C++.
Applicants need practical experience in programming, electromagnetic simulation, and measurement, plus at least five years as the primary designer or analyst in microwave or millimeter-wave transmission design, quasi-optics, vacuum electronic devices, or electron-beam optics. The posting accepts equivalent practical capability and states that no degree requirement is imposed.
