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 Mechanical Engineer Cable Magnets
As a Mechanical Engineer for the SPARC superconducting cable magnets you will own hardware from early concepts to SPARC delivery performing thermal structural and electromagnetic analysis using hand calculations and finite element methods. You will develop design notes technical specifications assembly procedures and documentation necessary to manufacture and install the hardware and supporting systems. In your role you will also support procurement in the preparation and of manufacturing contracts.
What youll do:
Produce new and iterate on existing design concepts using NX using a deep understanding of physics and structural mechanics for both metallics and composites
Perform thermal structural and electromagnetic analysis to inform decisions on SPARC magnets including conductors insulation joints supports fluid manifolds insulator breaks
Own product from final design through final assembly and commissioning for SPARC ensuring SPARC is able to achieve first plasma onschedule
Diagnose issues on the production and assembly line and provide path forward based on known understanding of hardware
Work with the SPARC plant and tokamak operations team to integrate the system into overall control system architecture Work with experimental teams on instrumentation measurement and correlation of experiment to analysis
Provide technical support to procurement during manufacturing
Prepare reports presentations and other documentation to serve as design review and validation
Develop team systems to better serve the magnet systems teams during the ARC era
What were looking for:
Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering aerospace engineering physics or another relevant field
At least 3 years of engineering design and analysis experience
At least 1 year providing engineering support to production hardware in the form of resolving technical issues and executing design changes for manufacturing ramp up
Excellent fundamental knowledge of mechanical systems such as static structures and heat transfer. Relevant handson experience in the form of parts designed for high loads and extreme environments
Demonstrated record of design of mechanical components beyond desktop scale. E.g. high power (MW) high mass (ton) high force (MN)
Solid background in component design and performing detailed analyses
Familiarity with all steps in the design process with an emphasis on creativity and simplicity
Authored documentation in the form of specifications to drive requirements to manufacturing and assembly.
Be selfmotivated and exhibit excellent problemsolving skills
Bonus points for:
Experience with vacuum cryogenics nuclear irradiation superconductivity electromagnetics
Hands on experience developing and executing testing to buy down technical risk in new hardware development
Knowledge of the design analysis and installation of components in a ultra high vacuum environment
Worked under a formal program for quality assurance and quality control.
Musthave requirements:
Perform activities such as sitting for extended periods of time
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
