Senior R&D Electromagnetic Analysis Engineer
On-siteDevens, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
Perform electromagnetic analysis of superconducting magnets using finite element methods to inform design decisions for SPARC subsystems. Develop new numerical tools to facilitate multi-objective design optimization of high-temperature superconducting magnets and perform non-linear, highly-anisotropic simulations in complicated geometries. Work with experimental teams to validate simulations against data, correlate models to measurements, and prepare reports and presentations. Mentor new team members in magnet design and analysis while identifying enabling technologies for future fusion power plants. Dedicate safety to mitigate industrial hazards including cryogenics, high voltage, and strong magnets.
Required Qualifications
- At least a Bachelor's Degree in electrical engineering or another relevant field with an EM background (physics, mechanical engineering, etc.)
- 7+ years of experience modeling electromagnetics using finite element method
- A strong background and theoretical understanding of computational electromagnetic analysis
- Experience modeling non-linear physics
- Experience with commercial finite element tools. COMSOL preferred
- The ability to customize commercial finite element tools or develop new in-house codes in modern programming languages such Python/MATLAB/C/C++
- Able to quickly grasp experimental setups and analyze data to validate models
- An ability to clearly express and critique ideas
- Ability to innovate towards solutions to complex problems
- An emphasis on elegance and simplicity over complexity
- A drive towards commercially viable solutions
- A history of thriving in fast-paced, dynamic environments
- Values that align with our company's values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique
- Must-have requirements: Perform activities such as sitting for extended periods of time
- Must-have requirements: Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
Desired Qualifications
- Multi-physics FEM modeling with electromagnetics, heat transfer, mechanics, fluids, structures, etc.
- Experience working with superconducting non-linear physics
- Developing equivalent thermal and electrical circuit models
- Familiarity with agentic coding tools and best practices
