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 an Algorithms and Simulation Software Engineer
The SPARC Software team seeks an exceptional software engineer to be a member of the Realtime Algorithms & Simulation group. This team is responsible for highlevel tokamak orchestration collaborating with fusion scientists to develop realtime plasma control algorithms hardwareintheloop testbeds and simulation infrastructure necessary for validation and develop other safetycritical control software that runs the SPARC tokamak and plant. SPARC senses thousands of physical measurements while controlling millions of amps to superconducting magnets and millions of watts of RF power to the plasma. These closedloop systems must control at rates substantially greater than 1 kHz and must sample some parameters in the MHz range. The technology platforms involved include realtime Linux baremetal microcontrollers FPGAs and industrial PLCs. The testbeds and simulation environments must be able to validate software across all these platforms. The team will be responsible for both HardwareintheLoop (HITL) and softwareonly testbeds. Specific infrastructure you will help develop may include software for test orchestration deployment to testbeds evaluation of test success and automatic integration into continuous integration systems. The team will also develop models or model infrastructure for both realtime simulation (e.g. for HITL or operator training) or offline analysis (e.g. for highfidelity algorithm development). Finally the team will work with other software and engineering teams to define endtoend and other integrated test cases and test plans to validate overall SPARC control software and ensure its adherence to design requirements.
What youll do:
- Develop safetycritical tokamak control software
- Develop software infrastructure to operate HardwareintheLoop (HITL) and softwareonly testbeds
- Develop simulation models and model infrastructure for both realtime and offline (high fidelity) simulations
- Develop offline data analysis tools
- Help define and execute endtoend and other integrated test cases and test plans to validate SPARC control software
- Work with hardware engineers to integrate/validate new components
What were looking for:
- Engineering degree in related field such as computer science computer engineering electrical engineering etc.
- Experience in developing software in python C or similar languages.
- Experience in developing simulations to test embedded and realtime software.
- Experience in working on and developing infrastructure for Hardwareintheloop (HITL) testbeds and softwareonly testbeds.
- Experience with modern continuous integration and continuous deployment tools
- Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
- Perform activities such as typing for extended periods of time
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/oncall occasionally
Bonus points for:
- Experience in validating software for safetycritical applications
- Experience with validating industrial control software
- Experience with developing physics based software models
- Linux development
- Microcontroller or FPGA development
- Networking development (IP/UDP/TCP)
- PLC development
- Software/hardware interfaces (ADCs/DACs UARTS etc.
- Simulation hardware platforms (e.g. PXI)
Musthave requirements:
- Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
- Perform activities such as typing for extended periods of time
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/oncall occasionally
$80000 $180000 a year
