Production Technician Supervisor - First Shift

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.

You will work cross-functionally across internal departments- collaborating with the engineering and R&D teams to solve complex technical challenges, bridge the gap between design and production, and set your team up for operational success. The ideal candidate brings strong leadership skills, a passion for developing high-performing teams, and experience in high-precision manufacturing, prototype production, electro-mechanical assembly, or R&D hardware environments.
