Diagnostician

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 Diagnostician

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is assembling the high-field SPARC tokamak which aims to be the first magnetic fusion device to achieve net fusion energy and is predicted to be able to achieve high gain and fusion power up to 140MW. We are completing the design and beginning the assembly and installation of diagnostic systems that will be used to control the plasma and deliver the scientific data necessary to complete the design of ARC. These include approximately 40 sub-systems covering magnetics interferometry neutral pressure x-ray to visible spectroscopy camera imaging bolometry neutrons Thomson scattering electron cyclotron emission reflectometry Langmuir probes and structural temperature and strain sensing. A more detailed overview can be found at : is looking to grow the SPARC team in order to complete back-end design and move diagnostics through fabrication assembly commissioning and utilization. Presently the diagnostics team has enough expertise to support all major diagnostic systems but we are looking to add a generalist who has experience in multiple diagnostics to ensure our team can deliver measurements on SPARCs fast timeline. Candidates will work as part of an integrated diagnostic team along with MIT-PSFC partners and fusion community collaborators from around the world to demonstrate net energy from a tokamak for the first time. CFS encourages applications from both senior and early career fusion scientists and those interested in cross-industry career changers to help us build a diverse team to meet our mission goals.

What youll do :

• Shepherd SPARC diagnostic sub-systems through final design working with a team of scientists designers analysts and engineers
• Integrate technical input from experts in the SPARC team to ensure diagnostic designs will be usable to achieve SPARCs mission goals
• Develop the diagnostics assembly installation calibration and commissioning plans to ensure SPARC is able to achieve first plasma on-schedule
• Integrate the diagnostic into the plant-level and real-time plasma control systems
• Participate in the testing and operation of diagnostic systems that balances learning how to operate SPARC with obtaining physics results as quickly as possible
• Contribute to a strong safety culture
• Collaborate with CFS designers and analysts as well as provide feedback to academic partners providing input to SPARC diagnostic designs
