About the company:

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.

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 nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.

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 Technician - Welding and Assembly

Join a cutting-edge team working to build and test high-field superconducting magnets — critical to unlocking the future of clean energy. As a Technician, you'll perform complex electromechanical assembly and in-house welding of large-scale metallic structures and components. This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, with a focus on quality, safety, and continuous improvement.

Proficiency with a variety of hand tools, power tools, and measurement devices

Ability to read and interpret technical documents, blueprints, and schematics

Documented training or certifications in welding processes (e.g., GMAW, GTAW, SMAW)

Bonus points for:

Cryogenic materials (e.g., LN2, helium)

Winding equipment

PLC systems

Pressure vessel, aerospace, or nuclear welding applications

Mechanized or automated welding

Epoxy potting or injection molding

Electrical harness and wiring builds

Strong mathematical and measurement skills

Meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship

Project and time management abilities

Must-have requirements:

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly

Perform activities such as stooping, typing, standing, and sitting for extended periods of time

Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics

Willingness to travel occasionally or do required nights/weekends/on-call
