Description
About Commonwealth Fusion Systems: 

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.

Combining decades of research, top talent and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future. 

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team. 

If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.

The SPARC Instrumentation and Control team seek an experienced Senior Engineer to take responsibility for the design, implementation, testing, installation and commissioning of the I&C for the fluid systems of SPARC. Systems include high temperature and cryogenic helium, nitrogen, hydrogen, noble gases, water, ultra-high vacuum and industrial HVAC. These I&C systems must be integrated with the central I&C systems responsible for machine operations, orchestration, plasma control, machine protection, safety, access control, data acquisition and archiving.

This team member will:

  • Design of the I&C for multiple fluid systems of SPARC by production of the required design deliverables according to the SPARC design process
  • Collaborate with the lead engineers for the fluid systems and central I&C systems and other key stakeholders to ensure all necessary functions and interfaces are included in the design and implemented according to requirements
  • Coordinate and oversee implementation, testing, installation and commissioning of the I&C systems according to the project schedule
  • Manage suppliers of components and integrated subsystems of the I&C systems
  • Produce engineering deliverables such as instrument lists, signal lists, loop diagrams, data sheets and cabling schedules
  • Produce testing, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance procedures for the I&C systems
  • Ensure the design is completed in compliance with the Code of Record and established requirements; 
  • Maintain interfaces with other engineering subsystems
  • Report on and be accountable for progress to the head of I&C and the engineer responsible for the systems for which the I&C is being produced

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

  • Experience in process, chemical, electronic or instrumentation and control engineering or similar 
  • Designed, built and operated industrial control systems with interlocks and protection functions from concept to completion under a QA program
  • Selected instrumentation and implemented feedback control loops for gaseous and liquid systems
  • Application of engineering fundamentals to provide specific I&C solutions depending on the process needs
  • Instrumentation in challenging environments
  • Familiarity in applying IEEE and IEC Standards to design solutions
  • Understanding of the safety risks of fluid based systems
  • Production of engineering deliverables for design reviews, construction work packages, commissioning, operations and maintenance
  • Siemens SIMATIC S7 product range
  • AVEVA or similar

Additional experience and/or qualifications:

  • Cryogenic systems
  • Industrial HVAC
  • Vacuum systems
  • Hazardous gas systems
  • Cooling water systems
  • Radiation effect on instrumentation components throughout the signal path
  • Magnetic field effect on instrumentation components throughout the signal path
  • Current best practices and emerging technologies in industrial control systems
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
  • Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time
  • Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, and noise
  • Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
