Plasma Tech information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Plasma Tech, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Plasma Tech, you need a solid understanding of phlebotomy, plasma collection procedures, and relevant safety protocols, typically backed by completion of a medical technician program or certification. Familiarity with automated plasmapheresis machines, donor management systems, and quality control equipment is crucial. Excellent attention to detail, communication skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure help ensure a positive donor experience. These skills are essential for maintaining donor safety, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting efficient plasma collection operations.

What does a Plasma Tech do?

A Plasma Tech, or Plasma Technician, is responsible for collecting, processing, and preparing plasma donations in a plasma donation center. They ensure that donors are comfortable, follow strict safety and cleanliness protocols, and operate specialized equipment to separate plasma from whole blood. Plasma Techs also handle donor screening, maintain accurate records, and assist with the storage and shipment of plasma. Their work is critical in providing plasma products used for medical treatments, such as for patients with immune deficiencies or bleeding disorders.

What is the difference between Plasma Tech vs Medical Equipment Technician?

AspectPlasma TechMedical Equipment Technician
CertificationsOften requires specialized training in plasma systemsRequires certifications in medical equipment repair and maintenance
Work EnvironmentIndustrial or research labs, manufacturing facilitiesHospitals, clinics, healthcare facilities
Industry UsagePlasma technology, manufacturing, researchHealthcare, medical device maintenance

While both roles involve technical skills, Plasma Tech focuses on plasma systems used in industrial or research settings, whereas Medical Equipment Technicians specialize in maintaining medical devices in healthcare environments. The certifications and work environments differ, but both require technical expertise and safety knowledge.

What are some common challenges faced by Plasma Techs when working with plasma equipment, and how can they be addressed?

Plasma Techs often encounter challenges such as maintaining strict safety protocols, troubleshooting equipment malfunctions, and ensuring precision in plasma generation and application. Adhering to detailed operating procedures, staying up to date with ongoing training, and collaborating closely with engineers and maintenance teams can help address these issues. Additionally, regular calibration and preventive maintenance are key to minimizing downtime and ensuring reliable results in the lab or production environment.

Job description

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 and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future. 

We're in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we've raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private 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 Senior Scientist - ARC Plasma Instrumentation
 
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is currently in the early stages of designing the ARC fusion power plant.  The tokamak will share some attributes with SPARC but will also present many new challenges, especially in the thermal and radiological environment inside of the tokamak.  The Senior Scientist, ARC Plasma Instrumentation will lead early efforts at scoping out necessary measurements in the plasma for plant control and the technologies that will be used to make these measurements.  The Senior Scientist will build off what has been done for SPARC, with a particular focus on determining the minimum necessary set of measurements and instruments for a power plant.  In many cases, novel techniques may be required in order to operate in the thermal and radiological environment, so the scientist will work closely with R&D teams to determine necessary R&D for this instrumentation.  CFS is looking for someone with experience designing, building, and operating fusion diagnostics and with an interest in exploring a breadth of measurements and technologies for future power plants.
What you'll do:
  • Determine and continually refine the set of measurements necessary to operate the ARC tokamak, coordinating with the plasma control and plasma physics teams
  • Evaluate potential techniques and technologies to make the measurements required in ARC, with a particular focus on techniques that will work robustly in the thermal and radiological environment in ARC
  • Determine which techniques and technologies will require significant R&D and work with CFS R&D teams to scope out what projects are necessary to develop these technologies
  • Develop early concepts, layouts, and requirements for proposed plasma instrumentation on ARC, including space requirements both inside and outside of the tokamak
  • Work with the remote maintenance team to ideate and evaluate remote replacement strategies for plasma instrumentation
  • Longer term, coordinate efforts of various engineering disciplines to design and analyze instrumentation concepts
  • Coordinate efforts of external collaborators on ARC plasma instrumentation
What we're looking for:
  • PhD in experimental plasma physics or a closely related field
  • 5+ years experience (post degree) in plasma physics or fusion research
  • Experience designing, building, and operating plasma instrumentation (diagnostics) in plasma experiments
  • Experience working on a multi-disciplinary engineering project
  • Experience performing independent research
  • Knowledge of plasma instrumentation (diagnostics) on tokamaks or similar fusion experiments
  • Knowledge of engineering sufficient to interact with multi-disciplinary engineering teams
  • A desire to design commercial fusion products
  • Ability to adapt to a rapidly changing environment
  • Ability to work with collaborations from a variety of academic institutions
Bonus points for:
  • Experience with Python
Must-have Requirements:
  • Perform activities such as typing or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call regularly
  • Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
$110,000 - $185,000 a year
Salary range for this full-time position + equity + benefits. The actual salary will depend on level, location, qualifications, and experience. The range displayed on each job posting reflects new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Benefits include:
  Competitive compensation with equity
  13 Company-wide Holidays
  Flexible vacation days
  10 sick days
  Generous parental leave policy
  Health, dental, and vision insurance
  401(k) with employer matching
  Professional growth opportunities
  Team-building activities
