Domain: Engineering

Department: Engineering Design

Division: Port Plugs & Diagnostics

Section: Ex-Vessel Diagnostics

Job Family: Engineering

Job Role: Engineer – 3

Job Grade: P3

Language requirements: Fluent in English (written & spoken)

Contract duration: Up to 5 years

Purpose

As the Heat and Imaging Diagnostics Engineer, you will design, oversee design and implement Visible and Infrared diagnostics systems for the ITER machine. You will specify and coordinate work with laboratories and institutes of the ITER Organization (IO) Partners, including any relevant supporting Research & Development (R&D) entities. You also will manage the scope, schedule, safety, quality control and cost for procuring the Heat and Imaging systems and supporting hardware and software under your responsibility.

Background

The aim of diagnostics is to provide the measurements necessary to control the plasma and first wall processes in operation to achieve the ITER goals and to gain the knowledge needed for future reactor design. The Port Plugs and Diagnostic Integration Division provides all the Diagnostics for ITER, along with the engineering infrastructures and test systems to support these and guides them through design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning, always keeping efficient operation in view.

The Ex-Vessel Diagnostics Section (EVD) prepares 32 diagnostic projects to support ITER Operation. The EVD position on offer is one of a responsible officer for one or more of these (EVD) diagnostics, coordinated in the Heat and Imaging diagnostics cluster. These diagnostics are used for measurements of the temperature of the plasma facing components, plasma emission in the visible waveband, flows in the plasma boundary, energetic particles, plasma radiation, and for imaging the plasma facing components between plasma pulses.

Key Duties, Scope, and Level of Accountability

  • Manages one or more of the Heat and Imaging systems such as Equatorial and Upper port Visible and Infrared Wide Angle Viewing Systems, Divertor IR Thermography, Temporary First Plasma Infrared System, Divertor Flow Monitor, In-vessel Lighting System, Lost Alpha Monitor, Bolometers, and other related systems as required;
  • Manages diagnostics interfaces with the interfacing systems and components;
  • Ensures that the diagnostics achieve specified requirements and proposes/implements corrective actions as necessary;
  • Conducts Design Reviews related to Heat and Imaging diagnostics, and other related systems as required;
  • Specifies and/or reviews R&D packages to be submitted, and oversees the procurement of Heat and Imaging diagnostic systems through procurement packages and direct contracts, interacting with the Domestic Agencies (DAs) and IO Procurement and Contracts Division as necessary;
  • Supervises R&D program for the mirror cleaning and diagnostic shutters;
  • Communicates with other stakeholders within the ITER project and the international fusion community, in particular for spectroscopy systems, e.g. by organizing or participating in workshops and other meetings;
  • Proposes and implements plans for the construction, installation, commissioning and operation of the diagnostic systems for the whole project;
  • Reports variances on all technical, cost and schedule aspects, analyses the impact(s) and proposes recovery plans;
  • Performs and reviews effective risk identification and management of related documentation;
  • Performs the change control process, document it and propagates changes to all concerned stakeholders;
  • Maintains up to date the documentation for the systems under the defined scope of responsibilities;
  • May be requested to be part of any of the project/construction teams and to perform other duties in support of the project;
  • May be required to work outside ITER Organization reference working hours, including nights, week-ends and public holidays.

Note: May be requested to work on beryllium-containing components. In this case, you will be required to follow the established ITER Beryllium Management Program for working safely with beryllium. Training and support will be provided by the ITER Organization.

Measure of Effectiveness

  • Ensures that work packages are completed to agreed quality, deadlines and costs;
  • Develops accurate design and interface documentation, schematics, plans and databases within defined quality, scope, schedule and cost;
  • Establishes high quality technical documentation for procurement including risks within defined schedule;
  • Establishes operation and installation plans within the defined schedule and cost;
  • Provide timely support to technical partners in DAs and other IO Departments / Offices;
