Mechanical Engineer Toroidal Field Coil 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. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.Were in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018 weve raised nearly $3 billion in capital making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.Now were looking for more thinkers doers builders and makers to join us. People wholl bring new perspectives solve tough problems and thrive as part of a team.If thats you and this role fits we want to hear from you.Join the power movement as a Mechanical Engineer Toroidal Field CoilCommonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) collaborates with MIT to leverage groundbreaking high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology to build compact fusion power plants. As a Mechanical Engineer on the SPARC Toroidal Field (TF) Coil System Winding Pack team you will act as a Core Playera reliable and versatile contributor executing on mid-to-long-term assignments that are critical to the projects success. Youll also work closely with peers across the organization - from other HTS magnet systems R&D Physics Quality Production Assembly Program Management - to ensure success of the SPARC mission.In this role you will own technical execution of a key Winding Pack subassembly as it transitions from final design to physical reality. You will serve as the technical anchor on the manufacturing floor using deep mechanical engineering fundamentals to resolve complex non-conformances and validate as-built conditions. This position offers a unique vantage point: by mastering the practical challenges of building and testing the SPARC TF coils today you will build the deep hands-on intuition required to design the high-field superconducting magnet systems of the future. We are looking for a self-starter who values continuous learning and is eager to bridge the gap between rigorous analysis and rapid execution.What youll do:Use first principles physics as a basis for all decisionsAct as the primary technical resource for shipside support collaborating closely with quality and manufacturing to solve emerging challenges during production assembly and installationPerform structural and thermal calculations ranging in complexity from first-principle hand calculations to FEASolve integrated engineering challenges across multiple disciplines to proactively mitigate engineering and operational risksGenerate detailed work plans and define milestones for the transition from component manufacturing to SPARC assemblyAnticipate operational trends and challenges contributing to future-oriented planning for SPARC commissioningWhat were looking for:Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering aerospace engineering physics robotics or another relevant fieldCandidates with degrees in Electrical Engineering who have strong mechanical or structural engineering competency should feel encouraged to apply3 years experience in design-build fundamentals: CAD (NX Preferred) component selection structural analysis design for manufacturing GD&TExperience working in an extremely fast paced environmentExperience taking a part from concept through production with a proven ability to resolve technical hurdles in a manufacturing settingDemonstrated ability to perform structural analysis via hand calculations and FEA (ANSYS Workbench preferred)Familiarity with interpreting GD&T and inspection reportsA deep understanding of mechanical and structural engineering fundamentalsFamiliarity with electromagnetic fundamentals voltage current resistance Ohms Law AC/DC right-hand rule solenoids etcAbility to innovate creative solutions to challenging problemsA can-do attitude and an eagerness to learnAbility to operate with general guidance and take independent ownership of execution approaches.High self-motivation and drive to execute quicklyEffective at communicating technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiencesAlignment with CFS values of integrity execution impact and self-critiqueBonus points for: Prior experience in liaison engineering field service or manufacturing support where you worked physically near hardware to resolve integration issuesExperience with design and/or testing of complex electromechanical systemsExperience designing components for high vacuum and/or cryogenic operating environmentsExperience in the development of technical specifications and proceduresFamiliarity with other magnet systems or complex large-scale hardware (e.g. solenoids pressure vessels cryogenic systems)Familiarity with fluid dynamicsFamiliarity with programming languages (MATLAB Python etc.) especially oriented toward data analysis data manipulation and data acquisition and controlMust-have Requirements: Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbsPerform activities such as stooping climbing typing standing or sitting for extended periods of time Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionallyWork in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat cold noise fumes strong magnets lead (Pb) high voltage high current pressure systems and cryogenics$90000 - $145000 a yearSalary range for this full-time position equity benefits.The actual salary will depend on level location qualifications and experience.
