Location: Oak Ridge (TN) Boston (MA) or Madison (WI)

Salary: Highly Competitive Plus Benefits

Contract: Permanent full time

Reporting to: Senior Director of Engineering and VP of Engineering

Your role in the mission:

Type One Energy group are looking for a Lead Magnet Engineer to lead the design analysis specification and procurement of complete magnet systems for two projects. The first project is Project Infinity a medium scale stellarator that will demonstrate the performance of a highly optimized stellarator magnetic field configuration as well as the viability of high temperature superconducting stellarator magnets to produce that field configuration.

Following successful design fabrication and operation of Project Infinity Type One Energy will begin construction of a second project the Fusion Pilot Plant (FPP). This plant will demonstrate net production of electrical power with a closed fuel cycle.

The primary function of this position is to provide technical leadership and engineering designfor the conceptual preliminary and final design and procurement of all the HTS magnets and related structures. This will be followed by design and procurement of magnet systems and components for the FPP.

Other Key Responsibilities:

Lead a multidisciplinary team to develop the HTS magnet system design.

Coordinate with the Program Manager to develop the program work breakdown structure integrated master plan and/or integrated master schedule

Be responsible for technical quality and performance budget (cost) schedule and risk and opportunity for magnet system engineering

Direct tradeoffs as needed to make optimum design choices with respect to technical cost and schedule constraints

Provide product/subsystems design oversight for all magnet system components

Provide Configuration Management oversight for magnet system design and procurement products

Support the transition of the system to the Manufacturing Operations group.

Provide engineering support for procurement.

Coordinate between Engineering Functional Management and staff

Work with functional engineering management to ensure that standardized tools and development environment is utilized and applied

What youll need

• Masters or Ph.D. in Engineering Physics or a related field.
