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.

We offer challenging assignments in a wide range of areas and encourage applications from candidates will all levels of experience. Applications from under-represented ITER Members’ nations and women candidates are strongly encouraged, as IO strongly believes that a diversified, equitable, and inclusive workplace is crucial in solving one of the most complex scientific and engineering projects in the world today.

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.

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.

Do you have an interest in system integration? Join the Central Integration Division which is in charge of ITER system(s) integration.

As a System Engineer, your goals include:

• Performing functional analyses within defined timelines;
• Ensuring functional integration by managing the technical requirements;

Success in this role includes:

• Authoring or reviewing the requirements documentation to identify/develop (interface) requirements and demonstrate that they are fulfilled (up to commissioning);
• Supporting the technical teams with the preparation of their Project Gate Reviews;
• Solving transverse technical issues.

• Primary Responsibilities:
• Oversees the functional integration of one or several process and/or mechanical systems;
• Leads configuration management tasks, including the technical assessment of Project Change Requests, Deviation Requests and Non Conformance Reports;
• Authors and/or reviews the requirements documentation to manage the comprehensive system life cycle requirements (definition, propagation, verification and validation);
• Authors and/or reviews the interface requirements to ensure that the system of interest is properly integrated with the interfacing systems.
• Reviews and refines of the Input Document Package for the Project Gate Reviews;
• Additional Responsibilities:
• Partners with Design Team to prepare the design gate reviews to verify the functional / physical integration of the system and the requirements implementation;
• Manages the optimization of design requirements and ensures that transverse requirements are well defined and implemented in the design;
• Participates in the validation of requirements during commissioning.

• Demonstrated experience and technical competencies in:
• P2: Minimum 5 years’ experience in the field of design and/or implementation of systems within a large international nuclear project
• P3: Minimum 8 years’ experience in the field of design and/or implementation of systems within a large international nuclear project.
• Essential competencies and experience required for the success in the role:
  • • Systems Engineering and Integration: defining, implementing, and managing an end-to-end system and its integration, and ensuring the system meets specified requirements throughout its lifecycle, managing associated risks and changes;
