Project Safety Engineer
We are seeking a Project Safety Engineer to join our Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security (EHSS) team. Reporting directly to the Director of Project Safety, this role will be our fusion power plant (we call it SPARC) safety expert and will serve as a leader to ensure the safe construction, assembly, commissioning and operation of novel systems and applications throughout our fusion power plant.
Examples of the unique and novel systems we are currently engineering include:
● A Cryogenic System (CRYO) removes heat from the tokamak to keep the superconducting magnets operating down to 8°Kelvin (-445°F). CRYO consists of a distribution system with vacuum-jacketed lines interfacing with the fusion reactor to supply cold helium. The cryoplant is a helium Brayton cycle plant that rejects the heat to the liquid nitrogen and cooling water systems.
● A Radio Frequency Heating System (RFHT) serves as the heat source to bring the plasma up to and sustain operating temperatures, utilizing Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating. The system is built up of a series of transmitters that convert electrical power to Radio Frequency power, a transmission system, and ultimately an antenna system to send the signals into the tokamak.
This role is onsite at our Devens MA campus. This is not a hybrid or remote role.
This role may include on-call responsibilities requiring the ability to be onsite within 1 hr.
