What you will do

• Perform electromagnetic analysis of superconducting magnets and inform SPARC subsystem and future fusion plant design decisions.
• Model non-linear, highly anisotropic high-temperature superconductors in insulated and non-insulated magnet systems using finite element and other numerical methods.
• Incorporate heat transfer, fluids, mechanics, and other multi-physics behavior into network circuit and finite element models.
• Develop numerical tools for multi-objective design optimization and customize commercial finite element packages or create in-house code.
• Work with experimental teams on instrumentation, measurements, simulation validation, and correlation of models with experimental data.
• Identify enabling technologies, prepare reports and presentations, and mentor new team members in magnet design and analysis.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering or another relevant field with an electromagnetic background, such as physics or mechanical engineering.
• 7+ years of experience modeling electromagnetics using the finite element method.
• Strong theoretical understanding of computational electromagnetic analysis and experience modeling non-linear physics.
• Experience with commercial finite element tools; COMSOL is preferred.
• Ability to customize commercial finite element tools or develop in-house code using modern programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, C, or C++.
• Ability to quickly understand experimental setups and analyze data to validate models.
• Ability to clearly express and critique ideas, innovate toward solutions to complex problems, and prioritize elegance and simplicity over unnecessary complexity.
• Drive toward commercially viable solutions and a history of thriving in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
• Values aligned with integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique.
• Ability to sit for extended periods and dedication to safety when working around potential industrial hazards, including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics.

Nice to have

• Multi-physics finite element modeling involving electromagnetics, heat transfer, mechanics, fluids, or structures.
