style="font-size:16px;">The SPARC Diagnostics Team is divided into multiple teams to facilitate the deployment of hardware, the development and management of staff, as well as to establish a point of decision making between the Diagnostic Team Lead and the individual system leads in cases where there are zero-sum trade-offs and multi-system design optimizations that need to be made.  Three of these DIAG teams are instrumentation teams focused on the delivery of hardware that will be used in day-to-day SPARC operations.  This position focuses on a fourth team which is responsible for delivering equipment that provides functional support, but does not participate in the transformation of the signal from plasma to bits.  This support equipment is highly interface constrained and helps to provide solutions between instrumentation systems within DIAG or between DIAG and other structural members (e.g. the building or vacuum vessels).  When viewed from outside of DIAG, the distinction between support equipment and instrumentation effectively vanishes, but internal to DIAG this breakdown helps to facilitate speed and quality.</span></div><div><span

systems move from design to operation, but is envisioned to have the Primary Responsibilities listed below.  Candidates will work as part of an integrated team that includes many interfacing systems as well as science staff from outside of CFS.  Experience working on tokamak or fusion plasma diagnostics is not required and CFS welcomes applications from non-tokamak or non-fusion backgrounds that can help deliver SPARC’s diagnostic capabilities.</span></div><br><br><h3>What you'll do:</h3><ul><li>Proactively identify where challenges faced by one or more instrumentation teams can be best solved by creating or modifying a common sub-system</li><li>Work with teams inside of CFS (SysEng, Safety, etc.) to path-find how to verify the designs of Diagnostic Support Equipment systems that are

‘Tier-2’ changes relevant to support equipment</li><li>Assist the Diagnostic Team Lead in managing scope, budget and schedule risk, including approving purchase orders/engineering orders within agreed upon limits</li><li>Ensure the planning and delivery of DSE components to ensure instrumentation systems to achieve Commissioning and Operations milestones on-schedule</li><li>Will supervise a team of ~10 engineers and scientists</li></ul><h3>What we're looking for:</h3><ul><li>Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field (mechanical, aerospace, civil or nuclear), with advanced degrees improving the job execution</li><li>Experience in design, fabrication and installation of similar equipment for a project or facility: equipment platforms, cabling/piping, shielding</li><li>Prior

or sitting for extended periods of time</li><li>Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally</li><li>Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat,

<p>The world needs a fundamentally new source of clean energy to meet our growing energy demands and combat climate change. Scientists have been studying fusion for decades and have made significant progress, but have yet to achieve its potential as a commercial power source. However, its promise has continued to drive interest with the understanding that successfully deployed fusion power would transform the world&rsquo;s energy landscape.</p>
<p>Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) was spun out of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center to leverage the decades of fusion research combined with the innovation and speed of the private sector. Supported by the world&rsquo;s leading investors in breakthrough energy technologies, the CFS team is uniquely positioned to deliver the fastest path to commercial fusion energy. CFS has assembled a world-class team to design and build fusion machines. This team includes experts in magnets, manufacturing, and plasma physics dedicated to the mission of delivering clean, limitless fusion power to the world.</p>
