About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:
Responsibilities
- Use and build computational toolsets, workflows, and methods to generate predicted material properties in extreme environments including temperature, radiation, and magnetic field with uncertainty bounds informed by physical mechanisms
- Identify chemical and microstructural features that strongly impact material performance in extreme environments, and quantify the relationships for use in optimization for engineering application
- Inform design of experiments for materials in extreme environments, including simultaneous corrosion, stress, and irradiation. As well as magnetic field, electric field, and high temperature
- In collaboration with design and analysis engineers, develop material design curves methodology capable of determining statistically significant minimum properties for tokamak applications such as low and high cycle fatigue, dielectric breakdown, radiation effects
- Identify gaps in knowledge and experimental capability which can be filled via simulation or model building
- Assist in benchmarking and creating metrics for material property variability and sources of variability in manufacturing,fabrication, assembly, and processes
- Collaborate with other M&P Engineers to create workflows to enable the appropriate capture, storage, data visualization and analysis of data generated within the materials domain
- Support writing materials standard specifications
- Stay current with the evolving technology and modeling techniques
- Perform activities such as typing and sitting for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
- Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally. Travel less than 10%
