Engineering Intern

The intern will learn about vacuum systems and materials, rotating machinery, programming a stepper motor, and operating CNC mill. Research granule dropper mechanisms for use on fusion devices. A rotary dropper has been fabricated, it has trouble operating as expected, it jams, and granules get clogged in the holes. This device needs attention and help from a mechanically inclined person. The challenges are the granule drop, the bandwidth frequency, and the loading of the sub mm granules.
