Full job description

Overview of Responsibilities

The STEP Prototype Plant will redefine what can be controlled in real time — bringing together a highly nonlinear plasma system with complex thermal, electrical and mechanical plant.

As Control Systems Manager, you’ll be the technical authority shaping how this ground breaking facility is controlled, protected and automated. You’ll define the integrated control approach that enables safe, stable and reliable fusion operations.

Working at the intersection of plasma physics, power engineering and advanced digital systems, you’ll bring together plasma control, plant systems, protection functions and data into one coherent vision. In this first-of-a-kind environment, the clarity and strength of the control strategy you lead will play a pivotal role in the plant’s success.

Accountability 1: Shape the Control Architecture & Integration

Define and evolve the end-to-end control systems architecture for the STEP Prototype Plant
Bring together plasma control, plant systems (DCS/PCS), protection, timing and data into a seamless, integrated whole
Design for longevity — ensuring systems are maintainable, adaptable and ready for future innovation
Set and govern clear interface definitions across teams and partners
Identify and manage integration risks, developing smart mitigation strategies
Lead technical reviews and guide trade-offs to optimise performance, reliability and cyber resilience

Accountability 2: Drive Control Strategy & Design Excellence

Define the overall control philosophy and translate it into clear, scalable system requirements
Champion innovation in control strategies, digital engineering and advanced modelling
Design resilient sensing and control approaches for extreme environments, using smart instrumentation and model-based techniques
Ensure full traceability from concept of operations through to safety and regulatory expectations
Provide technical leadership across control platforms, HMI, alarms and networks
Shape robust verification and validation approaches — from simulation to full plant testing

Accountability 3: Embed Safety, Security & Best Practice

Set the standard for control system design, alarm strategy and configuration management across the plant
Embed functional safety principles (IEC 61508/61511), including hazard analysis and SIL approaches
Guide the design of control platforms and systems to ensure consistency with the overall architecture
Partner with IT/OT teams to build secure, resilient systems aligned to IEC 62443
Support human-centred design to create intuitive, effective and resilient control room environments

Accountability 4: Connect Control Systems with Digital Engineering & Data

Integrate control systems into the programme’s digital engineering environment (e.g. MBSE/SysML)
Champion modelling, simulation and digital twins to accelerate learning and reduce risk
Define data and historian strategies to support operations, diagnostics and optimisation
Ensure high-quality data capture to enable continuous improvement of control strategies
Accountability 5: Support Commissioning & Operational Success
Work closely with commissioning and operations teams to shape phased start-up strategies
Ensure designs enable operability, maintainability and resilience — including degraded modes
Capture learning from commissioning to continuously strengthen control strategies

Accountability 6: Lead with Purpose and Inclusivity

Bring a leadership mindset to everything you do, regardless of role or title
Create an inclusive, collaborative environment where diverse perspectives thrive
Provide clear technical leadership to partners and suppliers while encouraging innovation
Help grow a strong UK fusion supply chain, building capability and confidence across industry
Collaborate with academia and industry to share knowledge and bring best practice into fusion
Act as a visible ambassador for our values, demonstrating integrity, professionalism and respect
Make thoughtful, well-informed decisions that balance technical excellence with broader impact
