Senior Integration Engineer

The role

You will work in between plasma physics and technology to ensure stellarator systems are designed according to clear and optimal design criteria. You will define interfaces, design criteria, load cases, and uncertainties while solving integration challenges and system-level trades.

What you will do

• Ensure interfaces, design criteria, load cases and uncertainties are correctly defined
• Understand systems interactions to minimize unintended consequences of architectural decisions
• Identify, track, and solve integration challenges and risks
• Identify, track, and address simplification opportunities affecting the Alpha architecture

Required qualifications

• PhD or Master's in physics, engineering, or an adjacent field
• Years of experience in industries where integration challenges are at the heart of the design, such as aerospace or Formula 1
• Comfortable navigating different physics regimes from plasma waves to cryogenic properties of steel
• Ability to use various tools including pen-and-paper calculation, custom simulators, or commercial multiphysics packages
• Low-ego high-clarity communicator who works effectively with multiple technical leads
