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.
The IO is committed to fostering a fair and equitable environment across all areas of the project, including compensation and benefits.
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.

Overview
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity at the heart of an ambitious fusion energy project?
Join our Fusion Technology and I&C Division (FTIC) Division, within the Engineering Service Department (ESD) as a Systems Engineer, Functional Integration
As a Systems Engineer, Functional Integration, your goals will include:
Ensuring functional integration by managing technical requirements.
-
Ensuring deliverables are produced according to project schedule and budget, within a quality-assured environment that requires rigor and a systematic way of working.
-
Developing, under the leadership of your discipline manager, your skills and experience for the benefit of the Project.
The Engineering Services Department (ESD) provides the required skilled engineering resources or services, which are necessary for the successful completion of the ITER Project.
FTIC Division provides technical support to the ITER project in the field of *design, analysis, and lifecycle management of critical fusion and I&C systems. *
Being a member of the FTIC Division, you will have the opportunity to share and develop your expertise with other colleagues working in the same discipline on different ITER units.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
Primary Responsibilities
-
Is responsible for the functional integration of one or several systems across the entire lifecycle.
-
Authors and/or reviews requirements documentation and interface documentation.
-
Ensures that the system’s design fulfills all technical requirements in the context of the global ITER environment.
-
Performs configuration management tasksincluding the technical assessment of Project Change Requests (PCRs), Design Reviews (DRs), and Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs).
