Description
Commonwealth 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.

Fusion power plants are highly integrated systems with critical interfaces and interdependencies across many subsystems. Today, CFS is looking for a leader to strengthen our Systems Engineering capability as we continue to build our Systems Engineering culture.
 
As Director of Systems Engineering, you will be a central leader of our effort. You will set the vision for Systems Engineering at CFS and build Systems Engineering into a core competency and competitive advantage for the company, ever improving our ability to manage system complexities with speed. In this role, you will be instrumental to our successful demonstration of net fusion energy with SPARC and the subsequent deployment of ARC power plants throughout the world.

This team member will:

  • Set, reinforce, and grow the vision for our Systems Engineering capability. Continually explore and solicit feedback internally and externally to understand what works and doesn’t work about different Systems Engineering approaches to determine the right approach for CFS
  • Build high-functioning interfaces between Systems Engineering and the rest of the organization, including upstream partners like R&D and Corporate Planning, and downstream partners like Production, Supply Chain, Commercial, and others
  • Increase the company’s speed and quality of engineering delivery through clever and novel Systems Engineering people, processes, and tools. Architect, build, and continuously improve CFS Systems Engineering’s core processes and tools
  • Build a Systems Engineering team that effectively implements and supports relevant SE process such as: system architecture and modeling, requirements management, interface management, technical risk assessment and management, technical budgets, trade studies, verification and validation, test planning, operational concept development, control architecture development, and more
  • Bolster CFS’s safety culture and practices through robust Systems Engineering
  • Instill a customer service and stakeholder aligned mindset of Systems Engineering. Build a capability that the rest of the organization proactively pulls in and looks to for support.

The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in relevant field
  • 15+ years of experience in relevant engineering roles
  • Experience building Systems Engineering capabilities and functions
  • Experience developing and deploying Systems Engineering processes and tools
  • Experience working with design and/or development of a project in similar size and scope to SPARC
  • Experience working in a fast-paced environment where speed is prioritized over perfection
  • A broad understanding of the many different systems engineering approaches across different industries, and the ability to determine the right approaches for a specific area

Additional preferred experience and/or qualifications:

  • Perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, and cryogenics
  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
  • #LI-Onsite
CFS team members thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and have demonstrated exceptional results through a range of different pursuits. We all tightly align with our company values of integrity, execution, impact and self-critique. As we grow, we are looking to add talented people who are mission driven and bring diverse perspectives and new ways of solving problems.

At CFS, we deeply value diversity and are an equal opportunity employer by choice. We consider all qualified applicants equally for employment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
