Senior Materials Engineer - Devens, United States - Commonwealth Fusion Systems
Description
Senior Materials Engineer - Composites
Devens, MAR&D – Materials /Full-time /HybridCommonwealth 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.The Materials Department at CFS supports design engineers, supply chain, and manufacturing by guiding the selection of materials that meet design intent, executing testing, validation, and creation of design curves for materials, and conducting R&D to develop new materials and processes to enable fusion power deployment. The work is undertaken in support of delivering SPARC, the net energy tokamak under construction in Devens, MA, and ultimately in designing the ARC fusion power plant. These devices pose unique materials challenges including neutron fluxes produced by deuterium-tritium fusion, high heat and mechanical loads driven by high magnetic fields and cryogenic environment, molten salt coolant systems, and manufacturing challenges driven by components' sizing and processes such as welding and other joining methods. To support this mission, the CFS Materials Department is seeking a Senior Materials Engineer with expertise in continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites.The ideal candidate has a background in process engineering or mechanical engineering and materials science and/or physics. They will be instrumental in selecting manufacturing processes and materials in critical parts of SPARC which can be safely cured, processed, and machined. The tasks will include, but are not limited to: defining minimum composite materials characterization required for each application, defining the approach to composite mechanical design allowables and testing for composite electrical insulation. With time, this engineer will work cross-functionally to lead the expansion of internal composite testing capabilities and define quality control processes (internal and external).This team member will:
The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
Additional preferred experience and/or qualifications:
