Full job description

Tokamak Energy is a global leader in fusion energy and high temperature superconducting (HTS) technologies. We work with governments and industry to develop and bring fusion and HTS solutions to market through innovation and strategic partnerships. A major part of this is our end‑to‑end capability in HTS systems, from design to manufacturing.

We are the Magnet Systems Partner for the UK Government's STEP Fusion programme, under a £70 million contract running to 2029, working with UK Fusion Energy to deliver HTS magnet systems for the STEP prototype power plant, while also contributing to tokamak systems and plasma integration.

Founded in 2009 as a spin-out from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Tokamak Energy is headquartered in Oxfordshire, with subsidiaries in the United States and Japan. Today, we employ over 300 people and have secured more than £280 million in investment.

We operate through three divisions:

Fusion

Fusion energy technologies, expertise and testbeds for government and private fusion programmes, including ST40, the world’s highest field spherical tokamak.

TE Magnetics

HTS systems for commercial applications including fusion energy, power distribution, life

sciences, and propulsion.

Ridgway Machines

Manufacturing equipment for the superconducting, electrical and wider energy sectors, enabling the rapid industrialisation of HTS products.

Why Join Tokamak Energy?

Work on world-leading fusion technology
Be part of a high-impact, globally significant programme
Collaborate with leading scientists and engineers
Gain hands-on experience in a live experimental environment
Contribute to the future of clean, sustainable energy

The Opportunity

Up to £68,000 (dependent on experience) per annum plus benefits

We’re looking for a Senior Instrumentation Engineer to take ownership of magnetic diagnostics for the ST40 tokamak—the world’s highest field spherical tokamak.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of fusion energy, combining hands-on electronics engineering with real-world experimental physics in a live tokamak environment.

You’ll play a critical role in ensuring diagnostic systems perform reliably during experimental campaigns, while contributing to the ongoing upgrade and enhancement of ST40.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing and developing electronics for magnetic diagnostics (including ADCs and signal processing systems)
Maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving diagnostic and data acquisition systems
Supporting system operation during tokamak experimental runs
Fault-finding and resolving issues in high-performance experimental environments
Designing PCB layouts using ECAD tools and coordinating manufacture
Collaborating with suppliers to source and specify electronic components
Supporting front-end signal processing systems used in diagnostics
Working closely with physicists, engineers, and control room teams
Potentially participating in control room operations during experimental campaigns

Current Focus

Initially, you’ll support a major upgrade of the ST40 tokamak, enhancing its performance and diagnostic capabilities. Following this, you’ll play a key role in live experimental campaigns, supporting cutting-edge fusion research.

Requirements

Essential

Strong experience in electronics design

Knowledge of signal processing and data acquisition systems
Experience working in complex or large-scale experimental environments
PCB design experience using ECAD tools
Experience working with suppliers and electronic components

Desirable

Experience with magnetic diagnostic sensors (e.g. Mirnov coils, Rogowski coils)
Background in fusion, plasma physics, or particle accelerators
PhD or advanced research experience
Electrical certifications

The Team

You’ll be part of a specialist diagnostics team, collaborating with physicists, engineers, and control room staff in a highly technical and research-driven environment.

Apply Now - If you’re looking to apply your electronics expertise in one of the most exciting and cutting-edge fields in science and engineering, we’d love to hear from you.

Benefits

Competitive salary tailored to your skills and experience (openly discussed from the outset)
25 days holiday + bank holidays, plus discretionary festive shutdown
Performance-led rewards including bonus, innovation and merit schemes
Share options – a stake in our future success
Pension and comprehensive financial protection package
Health and wellbeing support, including cash plan and 24/7 assistance
Ongoing investment in your growth with training and career progression
Be part of world-changing innovation in fusion energy
