Manufacturing Engineer Weekend First Shift at Commonwealth Fusion Systems

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 were designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants.

You will be the technical anchor for the 4th Shift ensuring that our production of high-temperature superconducting magnets continues safely and efficiently when the weekday engineering team is offline.This is a First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) manufacturing environment. We are designing the product while building the machine. Your job is to bring order to that chaos turning first encounters with novel problems into standardized repeatable processes.The Schedule:Shift: Friday through Monday Friday 600 am - 2:30 pm Saturday and Sunday 6:00 am - 6:30 pm Monday 6:00 am - 2:30 pmSalary Range:$100000 - 160000 (includes 10% shift differential)This schedule allows for 3 consecutive days off (TuesdayThursday) while providing critical coverage during our high-intensity weekend builds.What youll do:Technical Mentorship & Training:The biggest blocker on the weekend is often the knowledge gap.
