cfsenergy - Commonwealth Fusion Systems - Senior Mechanical Engineer - Remote Maintenance

• Structural, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering B.S • At least 7 years of mechanical engineering experience in the design, fabrication, testing, operations, integration, and commissioning of complex mechanical structures (e.g. fusion, fission, aerospace, marine) • At least 7 years of technical experience in the design of remote handling equipment (RHE) using robotics or remotely operated precision mechanical structures (e.g. remote welding/cutting, manipulation, alignment, rescue, inspections) • Experience in leading R&D campaigns of novel technology to increase TRL and unlock new design solutions in remote maintenance fields such as remote welding/cutting, inspections, bolting, manipulation, alignment, sensing, mechatronics, rad hard, and cleanliness • Experience with standard actuation, guidance mechanisms, sensing, and structural mechanisms • Proficient in structural analysis via both hand calcs and finite element analysis (Ansys preferred) • Familiar with CAD, (NX preferred) • Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, technical staff, executives, and others • Ability to clearly express and critique ideas • Safety conscious • Structural, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering M.S • Experience in the conceptual design of complex systems involving high level, multi-disciplinary trade studies of both RHE and machine design(e.g. tokamak, fission core, sub-sea hardware, aerospace) • Experience with the implementation of radiation hardened equipment and methods into RHE design • Experience with mechatronics or applied robotics • Experience with rescue or decommissioning RHE • Experience with site layout design of remotely operated facilities • Experience with activated waste handling (volume reduction, casking) • Experience with remote cleanliness methods for UHV environments • Experience with industrial maintenance facility layout • Familiarity with basics of sensing, high power, controls, and fluid systems • Familiarity with ultra high vacuum processes • Experience with fault tree analysis or fault management and recovery for complex integrated systems • Knowledge of fabrication methods such as welding and machining • Knowledge of engineering materials basics for metals and composites • Proficient in CAD (NX preferred) • Self-driven and autonomous • Aptitude to use data to drive decisions • Familiarity and experience with end-to-end processes with an emphasis on creativity and simplicity • The ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments • Perform activities such as typing and sitting for extended periods of time • Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally. Travel expected up to 15% • At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique. As we grow, we’re eager to bring on mission-driven folks who offer diverse perspectives and fresh ways to tackle challenges.
