About this role
Join the power movement as an R&D Test Engineer
The role of an R&D Test Engineer is to develop novel fluid systems for R&D test stands, with a major focus on supporting magnet testing. The range of process fluids is broad (liquid, gaseous, cryogenic, supercritical, molten salt, etc.), requiring strong mechanical and chemical engineering fundamentals. The ideal candidate will be resourceful—combining industry best practices, off-the-shelf and customized hardware, and creativity to deliver these fluid systems on tight timelines.
Projects will be on varying scales, from smaller-scale test stands and deep system analysis to larger, complex projects as needed for SPARC and ARC. In addition to designing and building, the engineer will actively operate as a test engineer to commission systems and design automation alongside a team of test/software engineers and operators. You must work collaboratively across production, R&D, procurement, and the SPARC team. Various projects will also require flexing outside of traditional fluids engineering into other disciplines, such as structures and materials engineering, to successfully retire risks for SPARC and ARC.
