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 a Scientist – Boundary Digital Twin
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is building the SPARC tokamak, which aims to be the first magnetic confinement device to achieve net energy and is predicted to operate with an energy gain up to 11, producing up to 140 MW of fusion power. While the high performance of SPARC is critical to demonstrate fusion as a commercially viable energy source, it also results in incredible heat and particle fluxes to the plasma facing components (PFCs). Mitigating these heat and particle loads will not only require advanced physics and engineering models across a wide variety of domains, but will also require computational workflows that are capable of connecting these models to real experimental data for on-the-fly updates. To address this challenge the boundary physics team at CFS is developing a Boundary Digital Twin (BDT) framework. The BDT will be used for scenario planning, for design, and for operations by the boundary operators in the SPARC control room.
The BDT is a modular framework capable of linking predictive models, synthetic diagnostics, inverse models, data analytics, 3D engineering models, as built metrology data, data visualization, and more, to the experimental data generated during SPARC pulses. These workflows bridge the gap between many domains of physics and engineering, and as such CFS is searching for technical experts capable of working at the intersection of multiple disciplines. Depending upon the background and experience, both engineers and physicists may be qualified for this position. The Scientist - Boundary Digital Twin will work with a team of experts to develop the BDT framework, and then to apply this framework during SPARC operations to achieve SPARC’s mission.
