Materials and Manufacturing Engineer

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.

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. The ARC power plant will be the first machine to produce electricity from fusion energy, serving as the cornerstone to a new industry. The ARC group within R&D is a growing team that is delivering key scientific and engineering results to push the TRL of enabling technologies (blanket systems, materials, power conversion, etc.) higher. 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, and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits.

 

The materials and manufacturing team within ARC R&D has openings for several roles aimed at meeting the challenges of a fusion power plant. Neutron fluxes produced by deuterium-tritium fusion, high heat loads, molten salt coolant systems, and complex component topologies all introduce unique challenges for optimizing material selection while meeting manufacturing and cost requirements. ARC R&D will work closely with the ARC Design team to downselect materials and design ARC components for steady state fusion power output. We are seeking experimental and computational materials experts in the following areas: Structural material qualification and testing for radiation environments; Plasma facing materials and plasma-material interactions; Advanced manufacturing and joining for high temperature and nuclear components; and Molten salt corrosion and mitigation

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.
