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.
Your focus, as the Mechanical Engineering Manager will be leading a team of direct and matrix resources to outline the plan and lead the day-to-day activities for achieving successful delivery of the HTS Magnet System. Essential to this will be the ability to manage complex integrated design and analysis and the associated schedules and budget. Furthermore, the engineering manager will be responsible for providing manufacturing and assembly support.
As the SPARC project progresses, the Mechanical Engineering Manager will also work closely with the ARC team to implement knowledge gained in design, fabrication, and installation of SPARC components.
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.
