Electrical, Instrumentation

**Job description**:
The EC system is responsible for delivering 20 MW of RF power to the Tokamak, allowing to start-up, heat, and control the plasma. It involves many different systems that must be controlled in a synchronized manner to achieve this complex goal and react to fast events happening in the plasma. Dealing with such high power requires a sequential start-up of the necessary sub-systems, sub-millisecond real-time control and few microsecond reaction times in case of faults; this is achieved by using slow controllers (PLCs), fast controllers interconnected with a real-time network and Field Programmable Gate Arrays.
- Support the integration of the ECH Plant Controller and ECH Power Supplies with the different Gyrotron controllers and other ITER interfacing systems (CODAC, EC Plant and safety);
- Support the development of the I&C main and sub-system control units;
- Design and implement Human-Machine Interfaces for the supervision of the EC sub-systems;
- Perform the required testing and commissioning of the EC components delivered to ITER;
- Develop documentation and new versions of the control system for the FALCON test facility to adapt to the experimental needs.

**Job requirements**:

- A Master’s degree in Instrumentation and Control systems or similar (the required degree may be substituted by extensive professional experience involving similar work responsibilities and/or additional training certificates in relevant domains);
- Experience in the development of technical documentation for large industrial projects: requirements specification, test and acceptance documentation, etc.;
- Experience in design, implementation, installation and operation of big industrial or scientific plants involving distributed control systems is an asset;
- Experience in industrial middleware and communication protocols - OPC UA, Profinet, Modbus is an asset;
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
