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, Fusion Diagnostics
The SPARC Diagnostics Team is divided into three instrumentation specialist teams to facilitate the deployment of diagnostics and the development of staff. This role focuses on SPARC’s ionizing radiation diagnostics which are the tools that measure neutron, gamma, X-ray and vacuum ultraviolet emission from the plasma. This includes the measurements that will be used to achieve CFS’s nearest milestone, to demonstrate Q > 1 in SPARC’s first operational campaign. A more detailed overview of SPARC’s diagnostics can be found at: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/rsi/article/95/10/103518/3317155.
The Manager is expected to provide leadership to scientists and engineers as well as carry out some responsibilities of an individual contributor on an as needed basis. The role will evolve with the SPARC project as diagnostics move from design to operation, but is envisioned to have the responsibilities listed below. Candidates will work as part of an integrated diagnostic team that includes MIT-PSFC partners and fusion community collaborators from around the world. Experience working on a tokamak or with 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.
