Electromechanical engineer - Fueling systems

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.

To execute this plan, we are looking to add talented people to the team who are mission-driven and treat people well, improve our team by adding diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits, and have skill sets and experience that relate to this role.

The mechanical engineer for the SPARC fueling systems will work closely with the system responsible engineer and technical leads to design and develop gas injection systems, delivering the fuel for SPARC from pressurized gas cylinders into the vacuum atmosphere of the tokamak. These systems are designed for inert and hydrogen gas applications, fast response times, operating in rough to high vacuum, with high leak-tightness. This role will involve design work, systems integration, and hands-on build/test activities. The fueling systems engineer will collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of engineers, builders, scientists, vendors, and supply integration managers, and report to the gas fueling system responsible engineer. We are looking for applicants who enjoy collaborating with a variety of disciplines in a fast-paced environment to help us deliver fusion on climate-relevant time scales.

Applicants with experience in hands-on prototyping and testing with data-acquisition and control hardware, experience with gas handling and vacuum, and designing systems for remote control are preferred.  Applicants with hands-on experience with designing, building, testing process systems (gas, fluid, vacuum) are encouraged to apply as well.

CFS team members thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits. We all tightly align with our company values of integrity, execution, impact and self-critique. As we grow, we are looking to add talented people who are mission driven and bring diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems.
