Requisition Id 17289

Overview:

This position provides full-time structural engineering and analytical support to the US ITER Project Office through the Final Design of the Ion Cyclotron Heating (ICH) system, Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) system, Vacuum Systems (VAS), and other systems as required. In addition to core structural analysis responsibilities, the role may include the opportunity to serve as a Technical Approver, leading or supporting the procurement of structural supports and associated hardware, from technical requirements definition through vendor oversight and Title III execution.

Major Duties/Responsibilities:

• Work with technical managers, engineers, designers, and fabrication vendors to design and analyze supports and equipment hardware associated with the US ITER Project Office.
• Perform, develop, and modify complex structural support analyses involving carbon steel, stainless steel, and other materials in accordance with US and/or European code requirements.
• Perform checks of concrete anchorage in accordance with project guidelines.
• Document analysis results in formal Design Analysis Calculation (DAC) packages.
• Assist in development of project guidance documents related to structural engineering.
• Review and check work performed by other project participants.
• Present preliminary and final structural designs and analyses to the ITER International Organization (IO) as part of formal design reviews.

Participate as a subject matter expert in design reviews of other systems. Technical Approver / Procurement Support (as assigned): Serve as or support a Technical Approver responsible for the procurement of structural supports, including development and maintenance of procurement packages. Assist Technical Approvers and project stakeholders with development and review of Statements of Work (SOWs), technical specifications, evaluation criteria, bid packages, and vendor clarifications. Support Title III activities including review and disposition of non-conformances (NCRs), deviation requests, and technical queries, ensuring alignment with design intent, codes, and project requirements. Participate in proposal evaluations and technical down-select decisions; support negotiation of technical scope. Coordinate with vendors and internal stakeholders to monitor fabrication progress, verify compliance, and support acceptance/closeout activities.

Perform, develop, and modify linear and nonlinear structural analysis of Tokamak components using FEA software. Assist in development of design details. Evaluation of vendor proposals as part of competitive bid packages. Oversee equipment and support fabrication and inspection activities. Domestic and foreign travel may be required (
