MAST-U is currently the largest operating spherical tokamak in the world, providing a facility on which to perform experiments to provide the answer to key questions for fusion power to be delivered to the grid. We are looking for a TOKAMAK Operations Engineer who will be contributing directly to several critical aspects of the MAST-Upgrade Operations & Machine Protection Working Group (MPWG) for MAST-U function: establishing and updating the Design Basis together with the Operational Envelope in an informed, controlled manner through identification and strategic mitigation of Technical Risk both on a proactive and reactive basis. You will also be working on development and effective implementation of appropriate Engineering Processes and Standards across UKAEA.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and manage the execution of high profile mechanical engineering activities (including exploratory research, assessment of plant designs / modification and reactive/proactive issue resolution for operational plant) with particular emphasis on tasks requiring expertise in :

analyses ranging from first principles, numerical solutions and multi-disciplinary simulation
use and development of computer aided engineering (CAE) tools to simulate design functionality and qualify performance; manage a schedules of reference calculation methods and tools for use in a fusion component design
relevant benchmarking experiment, physical test or plant demonstration
behaviour of complex / interacting plant systems
impact of lifetime degradation effects.

Define the MAST-U Operating Instructions (MOIs) with input from appropriate experts to ensure the availability of the machine for operations. Monitor MAST-U operations with respect to the MOIs to ensure that the operation of MAST-U does not impact on (i) Personnel Safety, (ii) the fatigue lifetime or integrity of the machine. Implement revisions to existing MOIs or introduce new ones as required.
