Job Description
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 were designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.
Were in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018 weve raised over $2 billion in capital more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.
Now were looking for more thinkers doers builders and makers to join us. People wholl bring new perspectives solve tough problems and thrive as part of a team.
If thats you and this role fits we want to hear from you.
Join the power movement as a R&D Fluids Engineer
The role of a R&D Fluids Engineer is to develop novel fluid systems for R&D test stands. The range of process fluids is broad (liquid gaseous cryogenic supercritical molten salt etc. and thus the engineer should be strong in mechanical and chemical engineering fundamentals and resourceful combining industry best practices off the shelf and customized hardware and creativity to deliver these fluid systems on tight timelines. They are expected to select instrumentation that allows safe operation of their systems. In addition to designing and building these systems the engineer is expected to also operate as a test engineer as it relates to commissioning operating and designing automation with a team of test and software engineers. They must work collaboratively across manufacturing R&D procurement and the SPARC team to successfully deliver their projects.
Various projects will call upon this engineer to flex outside fluids engineering and into other engineering disciplines such as structures and materials engineering to effectively execute tests and projects as needed by SPARC and ARC risk retirement.
What youll do:
- Design fluid systems for test stands that meet test objectives/requirements; Challenge requirements as necessary to achieve simplicity in design.
- Perform hand calculations and system level analyses demonstrating sufficient margin for fluid system requirements; build and run Ansys structural and thermal simulations on components and assemblies
- Procure offtheshelf process fluid components manage relationships with vendors draft specifications for specialty parts and design fluid system components as needed
- Manage build and commissioning of fluid systems and coordinate engineers and technicians as necessary to safely bring systems to operational status
- Design system instrumentation and automation for safe operations
What were looking for:
- Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Chemical Process Engineering or similar
- 5 years of experience in the engineering of largescale integrated systems
- Experience using the following engineering tools: ANSYS COMSOL 1D compressible flow code P&ID generation
- Strong engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics heat transfer and fluid mechanics
- Experience designing fluid systems selecting components creating work packets and managing builds to deliver largescale thermofluid systems from conceptual design through field commissioning
- Experience developing requirements Process Flow Diagrams P&IDs and specifications for thermofluid components e.g. pumps tanks control valves
- Largescale fluids process engineering
- Handson design install operation of systems with tanks process piping pumps valves heat exchangers
- Vendor management
- Fluid system operation
- Instrumentation design and troubleshooting experience
Bonus points for:
- Ambient and elevated temperature fluid system design build and commissioning
- Handson design install operation of systems with compressors purification systems & circulators
- Analysis using python or MATLAB
- Ability to learning new technologies quickly leveraging available resources getting things done and making efficient decisions
- Effectively communicating crossfunctionally especially with those not familiar with cryogenics
- Working in a fastpaced dynamic R&D environment
- Data analysis and model calibration
- Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat cold noise fumes strong magnets lead (Pb) high voltage high current pressure systems and cryogenics
- Ability to improve efficiency and throughput of processes
Musthave Requirements:
- Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
- Perform activities such as typing standing or sitting for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat cold noise fumes strong magnets lead high voltage and cryogenics
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/oncall occasionally
$80000 $180000 a year
