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.
The role of a Senior Thermal Fluids Engineer is to drive R&D risk reduction efforts for CFS’s HTS magnets, from magnet design to validation and manufacturing. In technical skills, the engineer must have strong fundamentals in heat transfer and fluid mechanics, and should be able to utilize both quick engineering calculations and in-depth computational tools. Hands on work is also part of the role, as the engineer will be developing magnet testing and manufacturing hardware. Teamwork is also important for this role. The engineer must be able to communicate to broad stakeholders, interface with cross-functional teams, and navigate the strategic impacts of their work. The engineer is expected to be a subject matter expert in teams they are supporting, and should provide leadership in defining their work scope.
This team member will:
- Lead development of thermal-fluid systems, including design, analysis, review, contribute to procurement, and commissioning
- Analyze thermal-fluid systems using the appropriate level of complexity, from hand calculations to FEA modeling. Draw engineering recommendations from analysis
- Contribute to test plans identifying the test objectives, key data needed, and the instrumentation necessary to obtain this data
- Collaborate with other team members to develop well-rounded hardware solutions for thermal fluids challenges
- Maintain documentation, schedule and a budget for projects. Documentation includes: design reviews, P&IDs, schematics, CAD assemblies and drawings
- Communicate to broad stakeholders about test results, analysis recommendations, project statuses, etc
The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field is required
- 5+ years experience as a design engineer on thermal fluids systems
- 3+ years performing thermal, structural and fluids analyses ranging from hand calculations to FEA and CFD if necessary (Ansys or Comsol preferred)
- CAD experience (NX preferred), drafting and fluid schematic design experience
- Familiarity with electromagnetic fundamentals – voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s Law, AC/DC, right-hand rule, solenoids, etc.
- Familiarity with model reduction and mesh optimization for model efficiency
- Conducting trade studies to determine technical approaches to a project
- Data post-processing skills that can interpret results and sources of error
- Self-motivated and can take ownership of projects
- A positive and collaborative attitude, and an eagerness to learn
- Innovative spirit and ability to question existing assumptions and requirements
- Networking and collaboration skills to work with stakeholders with different perspectives and interests, and get help from necessary experts elsewhere in the organization
- Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/overtime
Additional preferred experience and/or qualifications:
- Master’ degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 3+ years experience with selecting and utilizing fluid system components such as thermocouples, pressure transducers, heaters, flow meters, process valves, solenoid valves, relief valves, regulators and filters
- 3+ years experience with instrumentation and control fundamentals, particularly applied to fluid system performance and safe operations
- Can communicate technical topics tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Troubleshooting/problem-solving skills with great attention to detail
- An emphasis on elegance and simplicity over complexity
- The ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments
- A drive toward commercially viable solutions, and ability to navigate make vs buy decisions
- Values that align with our company’s values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique
- Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
- Ability to improve efficiency and throughput of processes
- #LI-Hybrid

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.
