Senior Mechanical Engineer - Assembly Equipment

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is on a mission to deliver clean fusion energy to the planet fast enough to matter for humanity’s biggest challenges.

It’s urgent. The gap between the energy we need and the energy we have is widening every day. Fusion is a critical part of the energy transition away from fossil fuels, a new chapter for the world’s energy supply.

We’re committing to delivering fusion power plants and a full-fledged fusion energy industry as we’ve delivered on other promises. Like the world’s strongest high-temperature superconducting magnet, the game-changing technology that’s making commercial fusion energy a reality.

We’ve raised over $2 billion in capital — more than any other fusion energy company — and attracted top talent to design, build, and deliver commercial  fusion power plants. And we’re working with policymakers and suppliers to make fusion energy available globally.

As we push toward the fusion-energy future, we’ll keep setting and meeting milestones, sharing and validating our progress, and encouraging others to do the same.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the Assembly Team at CFS, you design, develop, and manage fabrication of the wide variety of unique tooling needed for the successful assembly and integration of the SPARC tokamak device. This will entail the development of the overall concept, engineering, and use strategy of each tool assembly, and of the assembly step that the tool will facilitate. You will work closely and collaborate with the system teams to find the most efficient, creative, cost-effective, and safest way to manipulate, guide, and integrate each part of the larger tokamak system, design and build the tools needed, then finally write work-instruction packets that guide the use of the tool at the time of assembly. You will use your expertise on our most complex, largest, and most critical tools and manipulations, ensuring completion of the most challenging parts of SPARC assembly. You will guide and create how the giant parts of this multi-million pound “swiss-watch” come together, and the mega-tools to do it! This work is conducted within a multi-disciplinary team of physicists and engineers as part of collaborative sponsored research projects at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and within CFS.
