Materials Engineer - Metallurgical Engineering

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:

• Translate component and system performance requirements and failure modes into verifiable critical material property requirements under manufacturing-relevant conditions, and define appropriate test methods to measure and validate those properties
• Identify materials and processes that enable the high-volume manufacturing of structures and systems under demanding operating conditions, with a focus on manufacturability, scalability, and cost consciousness
• Select and interpret applicable international materials standards and specifications, and author materials specifications for fusion-specific applications
• Serve as a technical lead for materials development projects when commercially available materials do not meet application requirements
• Collaborate with design, supply chain, and manufacturing engineers to select, approve, and qualify materials and processing methods
• Provide on-demand subject matter expertise for production root cause analyses and corrective action plans involving raw or as-fabricated materials
• Review, interpret, and report materials property data in version-controlled databases for engineering use

• 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%
