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 Systems Engineer
CFS is currently looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who will focus on implementation of Systems Engineering process and systems thinking to the Fueling (FUEL) and Vacuum Pumping System(VACP). The primary function of VACP is to provide rough high and ultra-high vacuum pumping to the Tokamak Cryostat and other systems interspaces. The primary role of the FUEL systems is to fuel the tokamaks pulses and process the exhaust. This role is inherently cross-disciplinary and will require collaboration with a wide variety of stakeholders to ensure that systems are designed integrated and operated successfully. The Senior Systems Engineer will be responsible for a group of subsystems working on activities throughout the development lifecycle including requirements development V&V interface definition trade studies risk assessment and management operational concept/control architecture development test planning etc. The ideal candidate for this role is comfortable with learning a variety of new technical topics and being proactive to apply that knowledge to ensure that system development and implementation is successful in validating the current SPARC mission and future ARC programs.
Candidates interested in this role should have related experience and interest in working with the following types of systems we are currently looking for support on:
Vacuum Pumping Systems
Process Fueling Systems
