Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.
CFS collaborates with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with groundbreaking new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. Our mission is to deploy these power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. To that end, CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.
The role of a R&D Fluids Engineer is to develop novel fluid systems for R&D test stands. The range of process fluids is broad (liquid, gaseous, cryogenic, supercritical, molten salt, etc.) and thus the engineer should be strong in mechanical and chemical engineering fundamentals and resourceful, combining industry best practices, off the shelf and customized hardware, and creativity to deliver these fluid systems on tight timelines. They are expected to select instrumentation that allows safe operation of their systems. In addition to designing and building these systems, the engineer is expected to also operate as a test engineer as it relates to commissioning, operating and designing automation with a team of test and software engineers. They must work collaboratively across manufacturing, R&D, procurement, and the SPARC team to successfully deliver their projects.
Various projects will call upon this engineer to flex outside fluids engineering and into other engineering disciplines, such as structures and materials engineering, to effectively execute tests and projects as needed by SPARC and ARC risk retirement.
CFS team members thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits. We all tightly align with our company values of integrity, execution, impact and self-critique. As we grow, we are looking to add talented people who are mission driven and bring diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems.
