Systems Integration Engineer

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:

• Degree qualified in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
• Proven experience applying systems engineering principles within complex engineering environments.
• Experience developing and managing requirements, architectures, interfaces and verification activities.
• Experience working in technically complex, multidisciplinary engineering environments where requirements evolve and engineering challenges are often novel.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to break complex problems into manageable parts.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Ability to gather, analyse and synthesise information from multiple technical sources.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and able to bring structure, clarity and traceability to evolving engineering challenges.

We're less concerned with experience in a specific industry and more interested in individuals who can think critically, connect information across multiple disciplines and help drive informed engineering decisions.

You may currently work in aerospace, advanced automotive, defence, robotics, nuclear, energy, space or another highly technical sector. What matters most is your ability to understand complex systems, manage interfaces, navigate uncertainty and work effectively with diverse engineering teams.

If you're excited by solving challenging technical problems and helping deliver world-changing technology, we'd love to hear from you.
