While the technical challenge remains high, confidence is increasing, and the rewards of realising fusion are almost incalculable. Anticipated to come online for commercial purposes in the middle of this century, fusion offers a viable means to sustainable net zero in the UK and globally, as well as to increased energy security. The UK is currently a world leader in fusion research and development and in the drive to realise commercially viable energy from fusion, a sector with an estimated value of £tns per year.STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) is the UK's flagship national programme to deliver a prototype fusion energy plant, targeting 2040, and a path to commercial viability of fusion. STEP is deliberately bold and ambitious and seeks people who want to be part of a world-changing endeavour and who have credible and relevant experiencing in delivery.STEP is led by the UK Fusion Energy Ltd.

Implement systems engineering tools and processes in order to ensure design is conducted within a systems engineering framework appropriate to the task. Identify design requirements, interfaces, trade-offs, and perform optioneering of designs and new technologies as part of project delivery. Work effectively to maximise design performance within written design requirements and/or design brief. Produce technical reports, departmental notes and journal / conference papers where relevant. Check / approve colleagues' technical work, reports, and publish papers to ensure their work is accurate, of high quality, and maintains internal and code-based design standards. This includes taking accountability for the standard of technical output. Act as arbitrator on technical conflicts within the design solution remit. Accountability 3: Lead technology development Accountable for testing of key electrical interfacing components and systems interfacing with the tokamak and within Power & Cooling. Testing of these systems is expected through dedicated technology development programmes. Accountable for the development and planning of electrical system technology development and testing programmes. These may be physical testing rigs, in silico modelling, or a mix.
