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.

Assembling a Tokamak Machine requires to meet stringent tolerances requirements. As Tolerance & Dimensional Engineer, you will review the tolerance chains, perform the as-built impact assessment, identify dimensional risk and manage other reverse engineering procedures during the construction phase, including the post-processing of as-built data, the assessment of non-conformities, the optimization of tolerances allocation, the implementation of remedial actions, and the management of as-built dimensional documentation.

The Engineering Services Department provides expertise in Metrology & Reverse Engineering (MRE) to support ITER Construction Project according to the needs defined by the Projects/Programs.

Success in this role includes:

• Tolerances management for large mechanical component assembly and reverse Engineering processes;
• Pro-active definition of pragmatic solutions;
• Effective collaboration with different stakeholders across the IO

• Primary Responsibilities:
  • Performs Tokamak dimensional variation studies;
  • Develops, implements, and optimizes the procedures for tolerance reallocation and optimization of assembly processes;
  • Documents the status of as-built configuration in functional construction milestones;
  • Manages the compliance of as-built geometry with functional assembly/operation requirements, identifying non-compliances and defining/implementing remedial actions.

• Additional Responsibilities:
  • Assesses design change requests, deviation requests, and / or non-conformance reports related to layout and ensures the implementation of the agreed changes, recovery actions and mitigation solutions in a timely manner;
  • Define and manage the scope of as-built 3D models needed to perform reverse engineering activities.

• Demonstrated experience and technical competencies in:
  • P2: Minimum 5 years of experience in tolerances engineering and dimensional risk management of structures or components in the field of complex construction projects with stringent dimensional requirements;
  • P3: Minimum 8 years of experience in tolerance engineering and dimensional risk management of structures or components in the field of complex construction projects with stringent dimensional requirements.
  • Essential competencies and experience required for success in the role:
    • Reverse Engineering: Optimizing assembly based on the impact of as-built data in functional assembly and operation requirements; Reverse engineering analysis of as-built data using dedicated software (Spatial Analyzer, Polyworks); Management of tolerance budgets;
    • Problem solving: assess problems, identify root causes, and reach solutions to reach project objectives within time and cost;
    • Drives vision and purpose: paint a compelling picture of the vision and strategy that motivates other to action;
    • Optimizes work processes: identify and implement the most effective and efficient processes to get things done, with a focus on continuous improvement.
    • Dimensional risk management, including systematically identifying, evaluating, and mitigating potential hazards and risks within a workplace or operational environment;
    • Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards;
    • Managing issues and change/deviation requests and providing appropriate solutions.
  • Advantageous competencies and experience:
    • Tolerance modelling and analysis of complex 3D systems using dimensional variation software (3DCS or similar) in combination with CATIA V5.
• Education:
  • Essential: Master’s degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering or similar relevant discipline;
  • The required education degree may be substituted by extensive professional experience involving similar work responsibilities and/or additional training certificates in relevant domains.
• Language requirements:
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken).
