Overview
As a Senior Magnet Modelling Developer at Tokamak Energy, you will play a key role in the development of advanced magnet modelling capabilities. You will be responsible for creating and refining numerical models to predict the behaviour of high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets used in our fusion devices. Your work will contribute to the optimization and design of magnet systems, helping to ensure their successful operation in our tokamaks.
Responsibilities
* Work with the magnet modelling team to develop novel internal tools for electromagnetic and thermal modelling and design of HTS coils in MATLAB and Python.
* Help develop internal software engineering processes including CI/CD and documentation.
* Improve existing simulations using compiled languages, GPU and HPC computing.
* Assist the magnet engineering team in developing tools for analysis of experimental data.
* Aid in developing CAD tools for the detailed design of coils to allow consistent analysis between different engineering teams.
Essential Requirements
* Degree or equivalent experience in a relevant engineering, physics, maths, or software engineering based discipline.
* At least 5 years of experience coding with MATLAB or Python and creating well organized, structured code.
* Experience with compiled languages eg C++ or FORTRAN and massively parallel GPU computing.
* Experience running very large simulations and high performance computing.
* Experience with writing integration and unit tests for code development and/or test-driven development.

About Us
What if there was a limitless, safe, clean, low-cost energy source, providing much needed global energy security? What if that energy source could also help reduce climate change? We believe that's fusion energy. Tokamak Energy is a leading global commercial fusion energy company based near Oxford, UK. We have an unrivalled track record designing and operating spherical tokamaks; the optimal route to commercial fusion energy.
In addition to fusion energy, Tokamak Energy is recognised as the leader in High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnet design, numerical modelling, and prototyping. Our dedicated HTS magnet team, in collaboration with key manufacturing partners, is focussed on becoming the leading supplier of HTS magnets to multiple markets.
The company, founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the UK's Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, currently employs a growing team of over 250 people with experts from the UK and around the world. It combines world leading scientific, engineering, industrial and commercial capabilities. The company has 70 families of patent applications and has raised $250 million, comprising $200m from private investors and $50m from the UK and US governments. Our US subsidiary, Tokamak Energy Inc, was established in 2019.
Come and be a part of a dynamic and innovative team who are striving to provide a solution to one of humanity's greatest challenges: clean and sustainable energy for all.
