    Default job background
    Description


    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:
    Translate performance requirements and failure modes into material property requirements and defining appropriate test methodsCollaborate with design and manufacturing engineers to approve or select materials and processing methodsSelect and interpret applicable international materials standard specificationsAuthor materials standard specifications for fusion specific applicationsReview, interpret, and report materials property data into version controlled database for engineering useDesign experiments to quickly learn critical materials properties in manufacturing relevant conditionsCoordinate with external experts to generate new property data on existing materialsQualify supplier materials including reviewing test data and judging equivalence or adherence to various standard specificationsThe ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:Bachelor's degree + 8 years experience or equivalent in Materials science engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics or related field1 year of experience with engineering composites in a manufacturing environmentExperience with continuous fiber reinforced compositesExperience in failure analysis of composites, ideally glass-fiber reinforced compositesExperimental design and analysis for mechanical testing of composite materialsUnderstanding process-structure-properties-performance principles for compositesAble to think creatively and possess strong troubleshooting and problem solving skillsDemonstrated ability to work effectively cross-functionallyExcellent organizational skills including prioritization of multiple concurrent projectsAbility to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, technical staff, and othersFamiliarity with nuclear and plasma effects on material properties and performance an assetAdditional preferred experience and/or qualifications:Experience making and justifying decisions in fast paced engineering settingsStructural analysis calculations and modeling mechanical behavior of composite materialsAuthoring of materials standard specificationsCommunicating with technical teams at vendors and suppliersFailure modes in electrical breakdown of insulation materialMaterials selection for cryogenic environment applicationsExperience selecting materials and processes to optimize design for manufacturingPerform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of timeDedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenicsWillingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally#LI-Hybrid
