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 Instrument and Control Valve Commissioning Technician
The SPARC Plant Instrumentation and Control Team seek a Junior Instrumentation and Control Valve Installation and Commissioning Technician for the installation, calibration, commissioning testing, and troubleshooting of sensing and control equipment for a large variety of components from multiple different manufacturers. Ranges of process systems include cooling water, HVAC, cryogenic fluids, ultra high vacuum, various types of gases, and radiation monitoring. Equipment types range from standard process fluid measurements and controls (e.g. temperature, flow, level, air operated valves) to sensors that can measure cryogenic temperatures as low as 8 Kelvin, vacuums in the micro-Torr range, and with flows controlled by piezo control valves. Component interfaces include hardwired, Profibus (DP and PA), Profinet, Modbus, BacNET, and possibly others.
