Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.
As a Mechanical Engineer for the SPARC Antenna Structures, you will develop optimized component design to fit the form and function, meet the requirements, and pass the thermal and structural analysis, using your recent FEA analytical skills and capability to set up models and perform preliminary analysis in ANSYS. You will be able to navigate through Ansys, set up models, mesh and troubleshoot; run and produce results for analysis and design perturbations.
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.
