L’IAEA recrute un Spécialiste du confinement et de la sécurité, Vienne, Autriche
Organizational Setting
The Department of Safeguards (SG) is the organizational hub for the implementation of IAEA safeguards. The IAEA implements nuclear verification activities for over 180 States in accordance with their safeguards agreements. The main objective of the Department is to maintain and further develop an effective and efficient verification system in order to draw independent, impartial and timely safeguards conclusions, thus providing credible assurances to the international community that States are in compliance with their safeguards obligations. Safeguards activities are undertaken within a dynamic and technically complex environment including advanced nuclear fuel cycle facilities and complemented by the political and cultural diversity of the countries.
The Department of Safeguards consists of six Divisions: three Operations Divisions for the implementation of verification activities around the world; three Technical Divisions (Division of Concepts and Planning, Division of Information Management, and Division of Technical and Scientific Services); and three Offices (the Office for Verification in Iran, the Office of Safeguards Analytical Services and the Office of Information and Communication Services). The Division of Technical and Scientific Services (SGTS) is responsible for measurement systems applied in safeguards verification activities, containment and surveillance techniques and all verification logistics.
Main Purpose
As a team member reporting to the SCS Team Leader, the Containment and Security Specialist will provide expert guidance in the development of new IAEA safeguard containment systems, both passive and active. The Containment and Security Specialist oversees specific test and evaluation activities of these new systems, and assist both in initial field trials and in the roll-out for implementation. He/She assesses potential attacks on safeguards instrumentation systems and determines how best to mitigate the impact of these attacks. The incumbent performs these duties by defining security envelope specifications for all new instruments, leading the development team in design reviews to reveal and resolve vulnerabilities as early as possible in the development cycle, and ensures that all the equipment undergo an extremely challenging test regime in order to ensure its robustness for safeguards use.
Role
The Containment and Security Specialist is:
(1) An engineer responsible for the design, development, and/or construction of new containment solutions whose goal is the protection of nuclear materials and security critical component;
(2) An expert in the application and knowledge of: a) physical and/or informational security related practices, b) design of complex computer-based components and/or mechanical components for various hostile conditions, and c) the final fabrication and design of mechanical systems, electronic computer-based systems, and/or associated firmware/software;
(3) A leader, planning and managing vulnerability reviews of SGTS systems that include surveillance cameras, radiation detection equipment, sealing systems and enclosures.;
(4) A team player whom ensures containment safeguards systems, currently in service or under development, meets stringent security requirements and standards for economy of effort, confidentiality of results, authenticity of data, and availability of service.
Functions / Key Results Expected
Participate substantively in the planning, development, and authorization of new containment systems, developed to support the needs of the SG Operations Divisions;
Assist in the procurement, distribution, and support of new containment systems;
Liaise with R&D specialists in Member States regarding containment systems under development;
Organize and leads periodic vulnerability reviews of the IAEA equipment systems, and elaborate solutions for mitigation of newly identified vulnerabilities and coordinates vulnerability assessments/reviews with 3rd party experts and equipment manufacturers;
Provide expert support and technical guidance/advice to members of the Seals team and Operation Divisions.
The incumbent may perform his/her work in areas involving exposure to radioactive materials. Therefore, as an Occupationally Exposed Worker, he/she must be medically cleared by VIC Medical Service and is subject to an appropriate radiation and health monitoring programme, in accordance with the IAEA’s Radiation Safety Regulations.
