Reporting to : Chief Technology Officer

Your role in the mission :

Type One Energy is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Model Based Systems and Simulation Engineer to join our team working on the exciting development of a next-generation stellarator fusion energy plant. This role is critical to our mission of creating a cost-effective and commercially viable fusion energy solution.

You will be instrumental in developing and maintaining comprehensive digital design tools for our stellarator plant including a system design model. These tools will serve as a central platform for understanding plant behavior exploring design trade-offs identifying key cost drivers and ultimately optimizing plant design for minimal cost while maintaining performance and safety.

You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of physicists and engineers to ensure the team has full visibility into the complex interactions within the stellarator system and its subsystems. The effort will be guided by our Senior Integrated Plant Modeling Engineer.

You will develop and maintain system models creating and maintaining a detailed multi-domain system model of the stellarator plant using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools (e.g. SysML Cameo Systems Modeler MDAO frameworks PROCESS Bluemira etc.).

You will be responsible for the Integration and further development of plant models including but not limited to :

Physics Systems : Magnetic confinement heating and current drive diagnostics.

Engineering Systems : Vacuum vessel magnets (superconducting and normal conducting) cryogenics power systems cooling systems tritium breeding and handling remote handling.

Plant Support Systems : Buildings infrastructure safety systems control systems.

• Utilize integrated plant models to investigate the impact of individual components on overall plant performance from a RAMI perspective.
• Integrate cost models and economic analysis into the system model to understand cost drivers and perform trade studies.
