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, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future. 

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team. 

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

Join the power movement as a Metrology Engineer 

CFS is an innovative clean energy company designing SPARC, a tokamak-style fusion power demonstrator able to achieve net energy plasmas. This demonstrator will lead to ARC, a power-plant scale fusion power generator system. SPARC includes high-temperature superconducting and copper magnets, thermal shields, cryogenic cooling systems, vacuum vessels, and plasma facing components, all of which are densely packed into a power system and are subject to large operational loads (thermal, electromagnetic, etc.). Critical to the success and performance of the device is the precise alignment and assembly of key systems and structures within the dense device assembly. Specifically, a number of these systems will require reverse engineering of their shapes using input from metrology data to match the shape of interfacing systems, so as to align and connect them in the correct location. As a Metrology Engineer focusing on reverse engineering, your responsibility will be ownership and management of the process from start to finish: development of the reverse-engineering workflow, collection of metrological data in the field, management of that data, easy and straightforward transfer to the part models for machining, and then organization and verification of the parts after completion and assembly. This work will be conducted for a wide variety of unique SPARC systems and structures, working within the overall precision alignment plan of SPARC managed by the Manager of SPARC Metrology. This process will be key to bringing cutting-edge metrology, CAD, and machining techniques to enable CFS to build this compact fusion device in a simpler, more practical, and faster than has ever been achieved before, paving the way for this process to be utilized and optimized in the next-generations ARC devices to enable their fast construction.
 
We are a fast-paced, agile, growing company that values diversity of thought and creativity, looking to apply our knowledge to pioneer a new method of energy generation for the betterment of the world. We look for people who have bold new ideas and perspectives, enthusiasm, imagination, a pioneering spirit, and a talent for execution to join us in our endeavor to create new fusion power technology that could change the world.
