The Systems and Test Engineer will be responsible for carrying out Systems Engineering and/or test related activities (e.g., requirements management, V&V, system design, build & integration plans, test procedures, commissioning and testing etc.) throughout the lifecycle of Reaction Engines’ products. They will also be required to contribute to the development of related tools, methods, and processes to improve our company-wide capability.
Do you aspire to be the next Rob Peesley or Dan Kay? Reaction Engines have the exciting opportunity for an experienced vacuum brazing Engineer to become a key member of our Manufacturing Engineering team and define the process development of our world class heat exchangers.
Responsibilities will include
- Be part of a team that creates and develops target designs, aiming to achieve the highest possible fusion yields from First Light Fusion’s driver machines
- Use our in-house hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic codes to invent new targets and develop current ones
- Develop our understanding of the physical processes at work within our targets
- Use Python and other tools to analyse results and identify trends
- Assist with the modelling and design of experiments in our lab
- Provide feedback to improve our code and help identify bugs
Responsibilities will include
- Using 3D CAD to produce engineering drawings for manufacture
- Supporting the design process with technical specifications, design reviews and change management
- Providing expert engineering input into multidisciplinary teams
- Ensuring manufactured components are delivered on time and as specified
Responsibilities will include
- Providing expert engineering/scientific input into multidisciplinary teams
- Producing analysis and calculations for design work
- Using schematic capture, circuit simulation and other modelling package
First Light Fusion are seeking to recruit a Pulsed Power Technician to expand its specialist team of technicians. The pulsed power technician role is working within the pulsed power team on the electro-magnetic launch campaign, developing the existing EM launch capability and setting up experimental campaigns.
We are looking for a highly motivated person with strong electrical and mechanical assembly experience who can assemble, strip down and re-assemble sophisticated experimental equipment. Specialist training will be provided for the right candidate.
As a key member of the target design team, you will:
- Develop new inertial fusion schemes from basic theory.
- Use our in-house hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic codes to invent new targets and develop current ones, aiming to achieve the highest possible fusion yields from First Light Fusion’s driver machines.
- Run simulations to understand in depth the dynamics and physical processes at work within our targets.
- Use Python and other tools to analyse results and identify trends.
- Provide specialist technical support and training, aiding other scientists at First Light to develop their own target designs and interpret their results.
