Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.
CFS collaborates with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with groundbreaking new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. Our mission is to deploy these power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. To that end, 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 implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.
Your focus, as the Mechanical Engineering Manager - Cryostat Structures, will be on managing schedule, resources, budget, and status reporting for the ongoing design and analysis of the SPARC cryostat, thermal shield and accessory components, and then tracking their manufacturing and assembly. The Mechanical Engineering Manager - Cryostat Structures acts as part of an integrated Vessel Structures team that includes vacuum vessel and in-vessel hardware, cryostat and in-cryostat hardware, and it is part of a broader Tokamak Systems design team.
As the SPARC project progresses, the Mechanical Engineering Manager - Cryostat Structures will also work closely with the ARC team to implement knowledge gained in design, fabrication, and installation of SPARC components.
