    Brief

    This opportunity involves the detailed design and manufacture of a scaled-down Fast Acting Low Conductance (FALCON) valve prototype for the STEP Prototype Powerplant (SPP). The valve will protect the exhaust vacuum pumping system against disruption events and sudden air ingress. Scope includes: Complete design and build of all internal components within the valve casing, including the actuation mechanism and seals necessary for isolation valve operation and vacuum line integrity. The valve must close to its defined position within 37.5 milliseconds to meet fast-acting performance requirements. This is a critical safety component for advanced vacuum technology, requiring expertise in rapid-response valve mechanisms, precision engineering, and vacuum system sealing solutions.
