Tokamak Energy

Engineer

• Contribute to the development of advanced plasma control solutions, including enabling real-time communication with new measurements or actuator systems, real-time signal processing, implementing new real-time plasma state observers, and designing and implementing feedback control laws.
• Develop off-line control-oriented tools to optimize plasma scenarios and calculate PCS feedforward requests.
• Participate in planning, running, and analysis of experiments with a focus on Plasma Control System (PCS) performance and continuous improvements.
• Use existing plasma physics codes and PCS software tools to carry out modelling related to operating scenarios and plasma control of ST40 and future devices.
• Develop, test and maintain the ST40 Pulse Scheduling System (PSS) and Plasma Control System software and aid these systems’ integration.
• Work closely with internal and external collaborators as part of a multidisciplinary Plasma Control Team.
• Contribute to operating ST40 tokamak and support development for future high-field spherical tokamaks (STs).
