We are looking for a magnet engineer to join the Magnets 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 coordinate the R&D, construction, testing and assembly of the high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet systems, together with their support structures and electric feeders.

Responsibilities

Don't hesitate to apply even if you don't match all the requirements. Superheroes don't exist, but people with passion and talent do.

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.

• 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 assembly and integration in the machine.
  
• Participate to the selection of subcontractors, monitoring cost and schedule in collaboration with project management officers.

• 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.

Requirements

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.

Languages

• Fluent in English (C1)

Bonus

• 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
• French
