About Commonwealth Fusion Systems: 

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

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.

What we’re looking for:

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, or another relevant field
  • At least three years of experience designing structural components in a fast-pace environment
  • Experience with CAD software (NX preferred) and analysis software (ANSYS Workbench preferred)
