We are looking for an Electrical and Automation Engineer to join the Magnets-Vacuum-Cryogenics department, dedicated to the development of superconducting magnets that will play a key role in the success of our project as essential components of our fusion reactor, but they can also be deployed for other non-fusion-related applications.

In this context, you will be involved in the design and implementation of electrical systems integrated into the special machines developed by Renaissance Fusion, while adhering to quality, cost, and time constraints.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Design schematics and panel layouts for electrical power & PLC control cabinets for coil winding machine prototypes.
• Select electrical and power electronic components for the assembly of electrical cabinets.
• Assembly of electrical cabinets
• Collaborate with mechanical design, and process engineers to ensure electrical designs meet functional specifications and safety standards.
• Design the architecture of the control system (PLC / HMI)
• Contribute to improvements in process control of coil winding machines
• Programming of automation components (Siemens, Beckhoff) and HMI for both coil-winding machines and High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnet instrumentation
• Troubleshoot sensors and instruments used for the characterization of HTS magnet prototypes
• Select electrical safety and power electronic components (10kA/10V) for the operation of HTS magnets
• Develop novel solutions and contribute to new intellectual property
• Write high-quality documentation of electrical systems and components, including specifications and operation manuals, maintain revision control
• Train users
• Participate in the writing of scientific papers

Requirements

Do not hesitate to apply if you don’t meet all the requirements. Superheroes don’t exist, but people with talent and passion do!

*Education and professional experience

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, automation or a related field
• 3+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering and automation
• Previous experience with superconducting magnets, cryogenic systems, and / or coil winding machines is a plus
