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 Chief Engineer has the responsibility for providing technical expertise and leadership in the
planning, engineering, design, implementation, and support of highly engineered mechanical process
systems that will enable the functioning of a fusion energy power plant. Essential to the role will be the
ability to examine the interactions of these various process systems to ensure the integrated
functioning performs as expected as well as proper functioning at the interface points between these
systems. The successful Candidate will be responsible for providing technical support to the
engineering and delivery teams, assist in defining functional requirements as well as participate in the
review of design drawings and specifications.

The successful Candidate must have strong technical knowledge and skills of process piping, process
equipment, process design, and associated support systems. The Candidate must have a demonstrated ability to review and comment on design documents and provide clear feedback. The position requires an excellent working knowledge of the project delivery process including planning, design, construction and commissioning, and qualification. This position will work with in-house Engineering teams, Project/Construction Managers, partner firms, contractors, vendors, to design, deliver, and start up new facilities and systems.
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.
