Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is looking for dedicated and highly motivated off-shift Quality Engineers to oversee manufacturing process quality for our HTS Magnet production and the SPARC Project. In this high-impact, hands-on role, you will take ownership of process stability and defect resolution on the production floor, ensuring our manufacturing processes yield reliable, first-of-a-kind hardware.

  • Supplier Quality Support:
  • Support the supplier quality team by identifying and documenting supplier-related defects discovered during internal production, assisting with root cause data collection and action plans as needed

What we’re looking for:

    • BS in Mechanical, Industrial, Material Science or Manufacturing Engineering
    • Minimum 5 years of Engineering experience in a manufacturing, assembly or equipment manufacturing environment
