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 nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.
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 Manager, Diagnostic Support Equipment
The SPARC Diagnostics Team is divided into multiple teams to facilitate the deployment of hardware, the development and management of staff, as well as to establish a point of decision making between the Diagnostic Team Lead and the individual system leads in cases where there are zero-sum trade-offs and multi-system design optimizations that need to be made. Three of these DIAG teams are instrumentation teams focused on the delivery of hardware that will be used in day-to-day SPARC operations. This position focuses on a fourth team which is responsible for delivering equipment that provides functional support, but does not participate in the transformation of the signal from plasma to bits. This support equipment is highly interface constrained and helps to provide solutions between instrumentation systems within DIAG or between DIAG and other structural members (e.g. the building or vacuum vessels). When viewed from outside of DIAG, the distinction between support equipment and instrumentation effectively vanishes, but internal to DIAG this breakdown helps to facilitate speed and quality.
The Manager of the Diagnostic Support Equipment (DSE) team is expected to provide team leadership as well as carry out responsibilities of an individual contributor on an as needed basis to help facilitate the delivery of DSE hardware. The role of the Manager will evolve over the course of the SPARC project as systems move from design to operation, but is envisioned to have the Primary Responsibilities listed below. Candidates will work as part of an integrated team that includes many interfacing systems as well as science staff from outside of CFS. Experience working on tokamak or fusion plasma diagnostics is not required and CFS welcomes applications from non-tokamak or non-fusion backgrounds that can help deliver SPARC’s diagnostic capabilities.
