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.

Provide on-floor, hands-on manufacturing support for pilot and production lines
Assess the producibility of designs and provide continuous design improvement
Update design documentation with feedback from prototype and pilot builds
Assess non-conformances
Participate in root cause investigations
Suggest and lead prototyping efforts that reduce risk during manufacturing start-up
Create standard procedures and contribute to the creation of work instructions
Organize and lead design for manufacturing reviews
Work with production teams to improve process and/or equipment
What we're looking for:
BS in technical field - Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (ex. Manufacturing, Aerospace, Industrial, Materials, etc)
