Apply 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, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And we're working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.
We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.
Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.
If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.
Join the power movement as a Metrology Engineer
CFS is an innovative clean energy company designing SPARC, a tokamak-style fusion power demonstrator able to achieve net energy plasmas. This demonstrator will lead to ARC, a power-plant scale fusion power generator system. SPARC includes high-temperature superconducting and copper magnets, thermal shields, cryogenic cooling systems, vacuum vessels, and plasma facing components, all of which are densely packed into a power system and are subject to large operational loads (thermal, electromagnetic, etc.). Critical to the success and performance of the device is the precise alignment and assembly of key systems and structures within the dense device assembly. As a Metrology Engineer on the SPARC Assembly team, your responsibility will be to utilize portable 3D metrology technology to perform mid- to large-scale precision alignments and dimensional inspections on a wide variety of unique SPARC systems and structures according to the SPARC metrology plan.
We are a fast-paced, agile, growing company that values diversity of thought and creativity, looking to apply our knowledge to pioneer a new method of energy generation for the betterment of the world. We look for people who have bold new ideas and perspectives, enthusiasm, imagination, a pioneering spirit, and a talent for execution to join us in our endeavor to create new fusion power technology that could change the world.
What you'll do:
What we’re looking for:
- High School Diploma or equivalent
- 5+ years experience using laser trackers for mid- to large-scale 3D metrology in a manufacturing/jobsite setting (i.e. other than QC lab)
- 5+ years experience using portable metrology software for 3D data collection and advanced metrology analyses (e.g. SpatialAnalyzer, Polyworks, Verisurf, etc.)
- Experience using non-contact laser line scanners for inspecting complex shapes and free-form features
- Experience with precision alignment of large, delicate, and complex structures in dense spaces
- Experience with large metrology control networks, multiple instrument setups, and alignments of components across multiple rooms without line-of-sight to reference objects
- Experience working both independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team with different levels of engineering, manufacturing, or operations professionals
- Experience using CAD to extract information for alignments/inspections
- Experience with traditional metrology hand tools and table-top methods for small scale components
- Intermediate understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5
- Advanced level of 3D spatial awareness and reasoning, and the ability to describe such in a clear and concise manner
- Basic understanding of how portable 3D metrology tools function and how that affects measurement uncertainty
- Self-critique of measurement process and collected data, and the ability strategize and develop alternative verification methods
- Fundamental understanding of environmental conditions and their effect on measurements
- Basic mechanical aptitude, including ability to interpret dimensions, tolerances, and assembly notes
- Ability to communicate and work with all levels of engineering, physics, manufacturing, and operations personnel
- Ability to clearly express and critique ideas
- Excellent organization and careful management of data
- Attention to detail
- Emphasis on elegance and simplicity over complexity
- Driven towards execution and rapid completion
- Drive towards commercially viable solutions
- Values that align with our company’s values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique
