We are looking for a magnet engineer to join the Magnets, Vacuum and Cryogenics team. The ideal candidate has a problem-solving mindset and exceptional creativity. We are especially interested in design and experimental skills. The successful candidate will develop the detailed design and coordinates the R&D, construction, testing and assembly of the high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet systems, together with their support structures and electric feeders.

Your main responsibilities will be:

*Design

  •  Develop technical solutions for the design of the windings, joints, current leads and cooling systems of innovative HTS coils. Define materials and interfaces to neighbouring components, develop instrumentation requirements, etc.
  • Develop the detailed design of the HTS magnet systems with their support structures and feeder lines, and their integration in the machine.
  • Define R&D acitivities (mock-ups, prototypes, qualifications tests) to validate the project, bearing in mind fabrication and control techniques.
  • Coordinate the interfaces with other design and engineering groups: vessel & thermal shield, system engineering, electrical/electronic, vacuum/cryostat and others as required.
  • Write technical specification and quality assurance documents in accordance to Renaissance Fusion guidelines.
*Analysis
  • Analyze the electromagnetic behavior, AC losses and quench propagation in the HTS magnet system and its electrical feeders/joints in normal operational and fault conditions.
  • Analyze the thermo-mechanical behavior of the magnet system and its support structures/feeders under operational conditions.

*Manufacturing/Assembly

  • Supervise and monitor the in-house or outsourced construction of magnet components, support structures, feeders and cooling/instrumentation, as well as their their assembly and integration in the machine.
  • Participate to the selection of subcontractors, monitoring cost and schedule in collaboration with project management officers.
*Testing
  • Define the testing conditions and procedures (mechanical / electrical / vacuum / cryogenics, etc.) of the magnets and their current leads/cooling systems.
  • Execute and/or supervise internal and external magnet tests. Assess test results.

You are the ideal profile if:

*Education and professional experience

  • Master’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical, electro-mechanical engineering, physics, or related field.
  • Previous experience in the superconductor/magnet industry or high-tech laboratories is a plus.
  • 3+ years of experience in magnet engineering and/or analysis and/or construction.
  • 1+ years of experience in mechanical design and preparation of technical specifications.

*Language requirements

  • Fluent in English (C1)

*A plus

  • Experience with SolidWorks or ANSYS or COMSOL or other computational software
  • Project management from design to assembly
  • Previous experience in follow-up (junior) of design activities, manufacturing contracts and assembly, preferably on superconducting magnet design and construction
