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 a Staff Dimensional Engineer – SPARC
Set GD&T and datum strategy in partnership with Engineering, translating design intent into tolerancing that is functionally sound and manufacturable with our equipment and fabrication methods Perform tolerance stack-up and 3D variation analysis on large complex assemblies, predicting variation propagation through build sequences and informing tooling, indexing, and assembly strategy Architect inspection requirements for large metallic components and assemblies, defining what to measure, how, and to what acceptance criteria Drive key characteristic identification and flowdown from top-level assembly requirements to component drawings and supplier requirements Support disposition of Non-Conformance Reports with dimensional analysis, quantifying the assembly-level impact of as-built deviations to inform use-as-is, rework, repair, or scrap decisions Review engineering change packages for dimensional impact as designs mature through SPARC assembly and integration Coach QC Inspectors, Quality Engineers, and Design Engineers on GD&T interpretation and dimensional management practice
What we’re looking for:BS in Mechanical, Industrial, Materials Science, Manufacturing, or Aerospace Engineering 10+ years of dimensional engineering experience on complex hardware (airframes, vehicle structures, turbo machinery, large equipment, or comparable) Mastery of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) as an author, not only an interpreter: datum strategy, tolerance allocation, and drawing review authority; GDTP certification strongly preferred Proven tolerance stack-up capability, both 1D (RSS, worst-case) and 3D variation analysis (3
DCS, VisVA, or equivalent) Experience applying dimensional management to large assemblies: indexing strategies, key characteristics, and assembly sequence variation Demonstrated ability to translate design intent into inspection requirements and acceptance criteria Excellent communication and organization skills Bonus points for:
Experience standing up dimensional management practices in a new program or organization (NPI, clean-sheet aircraft or vehicle programs) Working knowledge of SPC, process capability analysis, MSA/Gage R&R, and PFMEA Familiarity with metrology instruments applied to complex geometries (laser tracker, portable arms, CMM, structured light) Knowledge of NDE methods (PT, UT, ET, RT) Knowledge of cryogenics Minitab or JMP; MS Excel (including VBA);
MS Visio
