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 nearly $3 billion in capital making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.
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 HTS R&D Engineer - Superconducting Materials
We are seeking an R&D Superconducting Materials Engineer to join our this role youll conduct research and development on cutting-edge high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials and high-field magnets. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated individual to apply their skills in a hands-on lab environment and contribute to innovative projects.
This role requires compliance with U.S. laws concerning the export of controlled or protected technologies or information (collectively Export Control Laws). Any offer of employment will be contingent on the need for compliance with such Export Control Laws.
What youll do:
- Perform hands-on characterization of HTS materials using various techniques including transport magnetization mechanical and microscopy techniques
- Plan and execute experiments to understand and quantify the effects of strain AC losses and irradiation of superconducting material on the performance of HTS
- Design and build experimental setups for material characterization and magnet testing
- Analyze and interpret data and present your findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Collaborate with the team and other stakeholders on projects involving high-field magnets
What were looking for:
- Masters degree or higher in Physics Mechanical Electrical or Nuclear Engineering Materials Science or a related field.
