Tokamak Energy is a global leader in fusion energy and high temperature superconducting (HTS) technologies. We work with governments and industry to develop and bring fusion and HTS solutions to market through innovation and strategic partnerships. A major part of this is our end to end capability in HTS systems, from design to manufacturing. We are the Magnet Systems Partner for the UK Government's STEP Fusion programme, under a £70 million contract running to 2029, working with UK Fusion Energy to deliver HTS magnet systems for the STEP prototype power plant, while also contributing to tokamak systems and plasma integration. Founded in 2009 as a spin-out from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Tokamak Energy is headquartered in Oxfordshire, with subsidiaries in the United States and Japan. Today, we employ over 300 people and have secured more than £280 million in investment. We operate through three divisions: Fusion - Fusion energy technologies, expertise and testbeds for government and private fusion programmes, including ST40, the world’s highest field spherical tokamak. TE Magnetics - HTS systems for commercial applications including fusion energy, power distribution, life sciences, and propulsion. Ridgway Machines - Manufacturing equipment for the superconducting, electrical and wider energy sectors, enabling the rapid industrialisation of HTS products. Overview of the role The TEM is new structure within Tokamak Energy. We want to usher in the HTS era. As a Lead manufacturing engineer, you will lead development, implementation, improvement and automation of magnets manufacturing processes withing MBU. Play a pivotal role in our manufacturing operations, ensuring efficient production processes, adherence to quality standards, and timely project completion. It will involve working closely with the R&D, technical, design, safety and quality teams with a focus on achieving a robust, reliable and scalable manufacturing model. In this role, you will: Lead development of new HTS coil manufacturing and assembly processes focusing on design to manufacture Support design and development of new manufacturing tooling and machinery from concept to commissioning Lead continuous improvement of existing manufacturing processes to ensure it can accommodate both custom and scalable production as well as achieve required repeatability and reproducibility. Collaborate with the R&D, Design and modelling teams to transition innovations into production-ready processes. Oversee and assess new and existing processes and workflows. Organise and oversee manufacturing team day to day workflow. Transition R&D concept design and manufacturing processes into repeatable production ready state. Ensure risk assessments are in place and being followed. Ensure process and material traceability is in place and relative procedures are being followed Analyse and interpret data to drive decision making and continuous improvement Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues during development and manufacturing phases
