Electrical Engineer Io0778

Fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and the stars, is a promising long-term option for a sustainable, non-carbon emitting global energy supply.

The ITER Organization (IO), based in the southern France, welcomes best talents who can together prepare the way to this new energy in a truly multi-cultural work environment.

As the IO attracts and retains people coming from a vast array of different backgrounds and cultures, discrimination and exclusion cannot be tolerated. The IO believes it is our diverse perspectives and background that gives unique strength and value to the ITER mission, regardless of race, member nation, gender, religion, status, sexual orientation, or disability - all are welcome and respected at ITER.

The IO is committed to fostering a fair and equitable environment across all areas of the project, including compensation and benefits.

ITER CARE Values (Collaboration / Accountability / Respect / Excellence):
We perform our work with care, we care for the well-being of colleagues, our families and ourselves, and we care about the health of the planet for generations to come. CARE drives our work and our behaviors at ITER.

**Application Deadline**: 28/09/2025

**Department**:Engineering Services Department

**Section / Project**: Electrical Engineering Section

**Job Grade**: P3/P4 ( SALARY SIMULATOR )

**Language Requirements**:Fluent in English (written & spoken)

**Contract Duration**: Initial Employment Contract up to five years with possibility for extension

**Overview**

**Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the heart of an ambitious fusion energy project?** Join our Electrical Engineering Section within the Engineering Service Department (ESD) as an Electrical Engineer.

As an **Electrical Engineer,** your goals will include:

- Leading the engineering design, manufacturing supervision, construction, testing, commissioning and system integration of electrical components and systems.
- Ensuring deliverables are produced according to project schedule and budget, within a quality-assured environment that requires rigor and a systematic way of working.
- Developing, under the leadership of your discipline manager, your skills and experience for the benefit of the Project.

**The specializations covered under this vacancy is**:
**High Voltage**: High-voltage technology (above 500 kV), including vacuum-, gas-, and solid-state-insulated power conversion components, transmission lines, and electro-mechanical apparatus. The scope also includes performing finite element analyses to compute electric field maps. The required competencies for this area include expertise in both electrical engineering and high-voltage physics.

**Radio Frequency**: Engineering design, development, integration, testing, and maintenance of systems and components operating in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum as applied to fusion technology and devices, typically 1 MHz and 170 GHz. This scope includes the AC/DC power converters used to supply relatively high voltages (up to100 kV) to RF generators; the high-frequency electronics (whether solid-state or vacuum tube-based) used to generate the RF power, and the associated waveguides and matching units required for transmission and coupling. In addition to core RF knowledge, they include expertise in high-power electrical components and local instrumentation and control (I&C), with good understanding of the protection, control, and operation of actively regulated components and systems.
- The ESD provides the required skilled engineering resources or services, which are necessary for the successful completion of the ITER Project._
