Magnet Engineer (Superconducting Magnets / Fusion Energy)

DescriptionTokamak 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.Help shape the next generation of high-temperature superconducting magnet technology.We're looking for a Magnet Engineer to join our growing magnet development team, working at the forefront of superconducting magnet technology for fusion energy and emerging commercial applications.What you'll be doingDesign and develop HTS magnets and magnetic coils.Translate performance requirements into practical engineering solutions.Support prototype development, testing and experimental campaigns.Analyse test data and contribute to design improvements.Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.Develop software tools and analysis methods using MATLAB, Python or similar.Contribute to technical reports and intellectual property generation.RequirementsEssential experienceDegree, MSc or PhD in Physics, Engineering or related discipline, and post study industry experienceExperience with complex technical systems.Understanding of electromagnetics, superconductivity, cryogenics or related disciplines.Experience with modelling, simulation or technical analysis.Programming experience using MATLAB, Python or similar.Ability to take ownership and work collaboratively.Desirable experienceSuperconducting magnets or magnetic systems.COMSOL, ANSYS or OPERA.Experimental testing experience.Manufacturing or prototype development exposure.BenefitsPlease note this role does offer hybrid working, our model sets out a minimum 60% onsite / 40% home working split.
