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 we're working with policymakers, suppliers, and many others to build the energy industry of the future.

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised $4 billion of capital, making us the largest and leading fusion company in the world.

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.

Join the power movement as Manager, Process Engineering - Assembly

The Manager, Process Engineering is an organizational leader accountable for the management, engineering oversight, and efficient development and release of all engineering created work instructions across all elements of the SPARC Tokamak build. The role will manage a team of 8 to 15 engineers spread across the in work and soon to start stations of SPARC Assembly. As manager, the role at its core requires supporting the effective organization, tasking, and development of the individual contributors on the team while also driving efficiency and technical development tools to most effectively complete the thousands of planning tasks prior to the planned start of work. Additionally, the leadership role requires close collaboration with Field Assembly Engineering peers (who scope and discretize the work) and design engineering counterparts supplying inputs and technical detail. The role involves a high degree and quantity of decision making around technical approaches to a wide variety of mechanical challenges to keep the team unblocked and on task. At the core, the manager will refine existing processes, develop individual talent, and resolve pop up issues to create the most complete set of work instructions needed to build CFS’s technically complex SPARC Tokmakak.

Lead a team of eight to fifteen process engineers to develop, release and implement the technical engineering work instruction to construct the SPARC device

Translate department-level strategy into actionable group objectives and manageable project timelines

Define and optimize process engineering workflows and internal standards to improve successful solution outcome rate and team efficiency

Oversee the full development of tracking and priority tools to concurrently manage hundreds of individual planning tasks for the SPARC Assembly effort.

Establish and reinforce best practices for mechanical assembly, including standards for aligning, installation, and rework

Manage all aspects of the group's talent, including hiring, training, and setting clear performance expectations

Coach and mentor team members, actively contributing to their technical growth and professional career development

Build relationships across the organization to influence design direction and resolve technical conflicts with stakeholders

Provide design feedback to SPARC sub-system designs with a focus on manufacturing and assembly. Participate in both formal and informal design reviews to ensure what is delivered can be assembled

Support hands on operations during Tokamak Assembly serving a variety of roles in the process

Work with teammates in a collaborative fashion to receive feedback early and often to ensure all requirements are met. Many SPARC projects involve high loads, vacuum requirements, and complex manipulation requiring the involvement and review of adjacent sub system experts
