Mechanical Engineer - Manufacturing

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.CFS is collaborating with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with new groundbreaking high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. The mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To execute this plan, we are looking to add talented people to the team who are mission-driven and treat people well, improve our team by adding diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits, and have skill sets and experience that relate to this role.This engineer will be responsible for the design of thermo-mechanical structures, tooling, and automated equipment to support the multiple manufacturing lines.

This team member will:

• Design thermo-mechanical structures for superconducting magnets and cryogenic closed loop systems to support the manufacturing line and testing of HTS magnets
• Design custom tooling and production machinery/equipment and work with external vendors and job shops to deliver hardware that meets design specifications
• Design test rigs and systems to measure and ensure quality control
• Create 2D drawings, fluid schematics, and P&IDs (piping and instrumentation diagrams)
• Create performance criteria, requirements, and specifications for manufacturing, assembly, and test

The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering field is required
• 3+ years' experience as a hardware design engineer on complex mechanical systems. Knowledge of assembly-level thermal/mechanical design considerations is a plus
• Expertise with CAD modeling and drafting, including working knowledge of GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing). NX & Teamcenter experience is a plus
• Experience with tooling design and working with job shops
• Experience with rotating machinery, cable winding, casting, vacuum systems, and/or pipe bending preferred

Additional experience and/or qualifications:

• High self-motivation and drive to execute quickly with excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• A value for design for manufacturability, serviceability, and simplicity over complexity
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally
• Perform activities such as typing, standing, stooping, and sitting, for extended periods of time
• Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, high voltage, and cryogenics
• Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call

CFS team members thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits. We all tightly align with our company values of integrity, execution, impact and self-critique. As we grow, we are looking to add talented people who are mission driven and bring diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems.At CFS, we deeply value diversity and are an equal opportunity employer by choice.
