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 Senior Mechanical Engineer Remote Maintenance
CFS is designing ARC as the worlds first commercial fusion power plant with the goal of bringing reliable and clean fusion energy to the grid. Due to device activation and commercial uptime needs ARC will need periodic fast and reliable maintenance to be performed fully remotely. This will require novel solutions and integration in the fields of robotics remote handling equipment (RHE) plant layout manufacturing and tokamak design. ARCs Remote Maintenance System will thus be a critical aspect of realizing CFSs mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.
The Remote Maintenance team is responsible for designing ARCs Remote Maintenance System. As a Senior Remote Maintenance Engineer on the team you will develop ARCs maintenance scheme by designing RHE and collaborating with tokamak and plant engineering teams in the design of a maintainable power plant. You will play a key role in ARCs preconceptual design phase along with other teams and navigate complex multidisciplinary problems involving physics neutronics thermofluids structures maintenance manufacturing assembly technoeconomics and other disciplines. This role also requires proactive R&D in novel remote maintenance technologies.
What youll do:
- Develop concept of operations for the ARC Remote Maintenance System
- Participate in the preconceptual design process of the ARC fusion power plant
- Design ARCs radiation hardened remote handling equipment (RHE) by incorporating a mix of existing robotic technologies custom hardware and remotely operated heavy lift equipment
- Perform maintenance assessments of the tokamak and plant to shape the development of ARC as a remotely maintainable power plant
- Collaborate closely with tokamak engineering teams to assist in designing the ARC tokamak for remote maintainability and finding creative and novel solutions to tokamak joints
- Perform high level multidisciplinary trade studies of solutions that involve complex trade offs between physics neutronics design maintenance materials manufacturing technoeconomics and other disciplines
- Collaborate with multiple teams and manage projects across different disciplines to help solve tough multidisciplinary problems
- Identify key R&D needed for the ARC remote maintenance program and help establish the plans to execute the R&D campaigns internally or with external partners
- Research existing established and cutting edge remote handling solutions to assess their application in the ARC remote maintenance system
- Work with external RHE/robotics organizations and general industry to manage contracted work collaborate on cutting edge R&D and transfer knowledge and expertise into CFS
- Establish CFSs remote maintenance design guidelines for RHE the Tokamak and plant
What were looking for:
- Structural Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering B.S
- At least 5 years of mechanical engineering experience in the design fabrication testing operations integration and commissioning of complex mechanical structures (e.g. fusion fission aerospace marine)
- At least 5 years of technical experience in the design of remote handling equipment (RHE) using robotics or remotely operated precision mechanical structures (e.g. remote welding/cutting manipulation alignment rescue inspections)
- Experience with standard actuation guidance mechanisms sensing and structural mechanisms
- Proficient in structural analysis via both hand calcs and finite element analysis (Ansys preferred)
- Familiar with CAD (NX preferred)
- Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team of engineers scientists technical staff executives and others
- Ability to clearly express and critique ideas
- Safety conscious
Bonus points for:
- Structural Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering M.S
- Experience in the preconceptual design of complex systems involving high level multidisciplinary trade studies of both RHE and machine design (e.g. tokamak fission core subsea hardware)
- Experience with the implementation of radiation hardened equipment and methods into RHE design
- Experience with rescue or decommissioning RHE
- Experience with site layout design of remotely operated facilities
- Familiarity with the basics of sensing high power controls and fluid systems
- Familiarity with high vacuum processes
- Knowledge of fabrication methods such as welding and machining
- Knowledge of engineering materials basics for metals and composites
- Proficient in CAD (NX preferred)
- Self driven and autonomous
- Aptitude to use data to drive decisions
- Familiarity with all steps in the design process with an emphasis on creativity and simplicity
- The ability to thrive in fastpaced dynamic environments
Musthave Requirements:
- Perform activities such as typing 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 or work required nights/weekends/oncall occasionally. Travel expected up to 15
$80000 $180000 a year
