Senior Instrumentation Engineer - Instrumentation Integration

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. We're working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future. Since 2018, we've raised over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

The SPARC Tokamak Instrumentation & Control Team seeks an instrumentation engineer to coordinate and execute the assembly and end to end commissioning of instrumentation for the Tokamak. Familiarity with voltage taps, optical fibers and/or resistive temperature detections in extreme environments (high vacuum; operating at cryogenic temperatures; high background and transient magnetic fields; and ionizing radiation) is desired.

Responsibilities include:

• Collaborating with primary instrumentation engineers and other stakeholders
• Coordinating installation, testing, and commissioning of tokamak instrumentation
• Managing suppliers of components and integrated subsystems
• Producing documentation for engineering deliverables
• Developing testing, installation, commissioning, operations, and maintenance procedures
• Iterating in 3D CAD on components and reviewing parts, assemblies, and drawings
• Supporting small-scale testing
• Ensuring design compliance with the Code of Record and established requirements
• Maintaining interfaces with other engineering subsystems

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related field
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Experience coordinating assembly and installation of instrumentation for complex systems
• Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
• Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call regularly
• Work in a facility with industrial hazards

Bonus skills include mechanical analysis, integration, testing, design experience, CAD tools, familiarity with codes and standards, GD&T, and FEM analysis tools.

Join us in our mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy and be part of building the energy industry of the future.
