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 Materials Engineer
The Materials Department at CFS supports design engineers supply chain and manufacturing by selecting materials unambiguously defining materials and their properties validating and measuring those materials and their properties and conducting R&D to develop new materials and processes to enable fusion power deployment. The work is undertaken in support of delivering SPARC the net energy tokamak under construction in Devens MA and ultimately in designing the ARC fusion power plant. These devices pose unique materials challenges including neutron fluxes produced by deuteriumtritium fusion high heat loads molten salt coolant systems complex component topologies high magnetic fields and high cryogenic mechanical loads. To support this mission the CFS Materials Department is seeking a Materials Engineer with expertise in electroplating electroless deposition electroless plating metalization anodization or other surface modification processes in both R&D and production environments.
What youll do:
- Translating component/system performance requirements and failure modes into material property requirements and defining appropriate test methods to measure/validate those properties
- Collaborating with design and manufacturing engineers to approve or select materials and processing methods
- Serving as a subject matter expert for materials development projects where offtheshelf materials cannot be used
- Selecting and interpreting applicable international materials standard specifications
- Authoring materials standard specifications for fusion specific applications
- Reviewing interpreting and reporting materials property data into version controlled databases for engineering use
- Designing experiments to quickly learn critical materials properties in manufacturing relevant conditions
- Qualifying supplier materials including reviewing test data and judging equivalence or adherence to various standard specifications
- Provide ondemand subject matter expertise for production root cause analyses and corrective action plans where related to raw or asfabricated materials
What were looking for:
- BS 5 years experience in materials science nuclear engineering manufacturing or related disciplines
- 1 years experience engineering industrial electroplating electroless deposition electroless plating metalization anodization or other surface modification processes and materials
- Processstructurepropertiesperformance fundamentals in plating metallic materials
- Familiarity with process optimization and failure modes for insulator materials
- Agile project management and task
- Strong problem solving skills ability to approach new problems with creativity
- Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team of engineers scientists technical staff and others
- Familiarity with nuclear and plasma effects on material properties and performance an asset
Bonus points for:
- Experience making and justifying decisions in fast paced engineering settings
- Experience with corrosion and selecting plating materials for anticorrosion purposes
- Experience with galling and selecting plating materials for antigalling purposes
- Authoring of materials standard specifications
- Communicating with technical teams at vendors and suppliers
- Taking underdefined problems and driving them to a state of completion
- Experience in communicating materials design and development methods and metrics to nontechnical audiences
Musthave Requirements:
- Perform activities such as typing standing or 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
- Exposure to high and low temperature testing environments high voltage testing environments small quantities of acids/etchants
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/oncall occasionally
