About the company:

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.

CFS is collaborating with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with new groundbreaking high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost.

The mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change.

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.

Combining decades of research, top talent and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

Join the power movement as an Electrical Test Engineer

At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique. As we grow, we’re eager to bring on mission-driven folks who offer diverse perspectives and fresh ways to tackle challenges.

We value diversity deeply and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer by choice. We consider all qualified applicants equally, regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, protected veteran status, religion, physical or mental disability, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, or any other basis protected by law.

What you'll do:

Provide engineering support for all current HTS test equipment- act as technical expert on these machines, provide technical support for technicians, drive repairs and improvements

Be required to have general knowledge of the entire systems (hardware, software, electronics) but would not necessarily require deep technical knowledge of any subjects (i.e. you can pull on other technical experts as required)

Identify opportunities for improvements to quality, reliability, pace, and efficiency of all test operations

Ensures tests performed collect the data required for the data end-user

Define and implement systems to ensure test equipment is reliable and maintainable, including determining sparing strategies for critical equipment, implementing error-proofing solutions (poka-yoke), and more

Support process development and operation for the integration & testing of HTS magnets from initial low-volume R&D to full-scale production

Support the development of all design reviews, wiring lists, P&IDs, schematics, tooling, data acquisition systems, and operations software

Review and analyze test data, support anomaly investigation and resolution, and present results to a team of physicists and engineers

Troubleshoot and resolve integration & test discrepancies with a focus on continuous improvement

Assist in the establishment and execution of plans for future factory expansion, including capital equipment and floor layouts

What we’re looking for:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or science field is required

5+ years' experience as an engineer operating or maintaining complex electromechanical systems, preferably in a production setting

5+ years’ experience testing, troubleshooting, and debugging electronics hardware and test software

Experience with cryogenic and/or refrigeration equipment design and use for liquid nitrogen and supercritical helium use – vacuum jacketed equipment, cryocoolers, phase separators, cold traps

Experience with developing and executing test procedures

Experience taking products from R&D into production, including developing testing techniques to transition from manual to automated processes

Experience building a data-driven argument, to ensure all decisions are made according to the data

Experience debugging electrical system through the use of multimeters and/or oscilloscopes

Excellent troubleshooting/problem-solving skills with great attention to detail

Strong desire to improve efficiency and throughput of processes

Effective at communicating technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences

High self-motivation and drive to execute quickly

A can-do attitude and an eagerness to learn

Ability to think of innovative solutions to challenging problems

Willingness to challenge how things are typically done in search of better, more efficient methods

This engineer works Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Bonus points:

Experience with high field magnet testing, traditional or superconducting

Experience with designing fluid systems – P&IDs, component selection, ASME design codes

Experience with high vacuum equipment design and use – roughing pumps, turbopumps, ion gauges, residual gas analyzers

Experience with high voltage and high current power equipment design and use – power supplies, water cooled cables, insulation

Familiarity with reading and understanding computer code (Python, C/C++, Java) Familiarity with lean manufacturing methods

Essential Requirements:

Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs

Perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time

Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, and cryogenics

Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
