This is achieved through a combination of formal off‑the‑job learning and on‑the‑job training within a real working environment.
The Role
This apprenticeship is within the Electronics Group.
The Electronics Group design, build, test, and repair a wide variety of electronic systems and devices. We are a group of multidisciplinary electronic engineers and technicians, providing support to numerous internal and external customers, as well as other more specialised groups. We provide reactive service via tickets, to test and repair systems such as control & instrumentation, data acquisition, sensing, robotics and power supplies. We can also design and deliver large systems in-group, including for example neutral beam power supplies as part of MAST-U-E.
We have highly experienced engineers up to doctorate level, with extensive knowledge of power systems, magnetics, fusionics, sensing and other areas essential to working towards commercial fusion. Our engineers are available to consult on projects at any stage including concept and initial requirements.
The Electronics Group workshops keep an extensive stock of electronic test equipment and are equipped with world-class equipment to assemble and rework surface mount technology. We can also carry out soak testing in a climate chamber at any plausible temperature or humidity level to ensure reliability in plant conditions. We also maintain an extensive network internally and externally, so if there's something we can't do, we know who can.
The length of this apprenticeship is 60 months.
