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.

Lead Electrical Test Engineer – Medium Voltage reporting to the Director of Power Systems in the SPARC team at CFS.

This team member will:

  • Lead electrical component level and system level testing and validation for fusion power
  • Lead coordination and planning of testing required for the equipment under test (EUT) with cross functional engineering and physics teams
  • Develop test plans, test procedures, test sequencing, factory acceptance test (FAT) procedures for medium voltage (1000V to 13.8kV) and low voltage (up to 1000V) systems at CFS
  • Develop test methods to lead proof of concept testing with the use of prototype material to de-risk technical issues
  • Collaborate with cross functional teams by participating in design reviews, define functional test requirements and pass/fail criteria
  • Produce test reports, engineering reports and FAT reports for all component and system level tests. Complete peer reviews of the reports prior to release
  • Ability to debug any issues during test / validation and coordination with relevant engineering teams to find a solution
  • Apply best electrical safety practices & compliance standards (IEC, NEC, UL, CSA) into the test plans and procedures and subsequent testing and validation

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

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or relevant field
  • 5+ years of experience in electrical design and system level V&V (validation & verification) integration testing
  • Proven track record with hands on experience in testing and validation of medium voltage electrical systems
  • Ability to lead all test engineering activities from conception of idea till implementation in a fast-paced environment
  • Hands on experience with test equipment – oscilloscopes, Ohm meters, Hi Potter, DMM, Rogowski Coils etc.
  • Ability to review and understand electrical schematics, layout drawings, technical specifications
  • Experience with application of compliance standards to the designs (IEC, NEC, UL, CSA)
  • Experience in design, build & deployment of text fixtures for electrical system tests.

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.
