What is a Tokamak Energy engineer?

A Tokamak Energy engineer is a professional who works at Tokamak Energy, a company focused on developing fusion energy using tokamak devices. These engineers are involved in the design, construction, and operation of compact spherical tokamaks, which are machines that use magnetic fields to confine plasma for fusion reactions. Their work helps advance the goal of creating clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy by replicating the processes that power the sun. Tokamak Energy engineers typically have backgrounds in physics, engineering, or related scientific fields.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Tokamak Energy engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Tokamak Energy Engineer, you need a solid background in physics, nuclear engineering, or a related field, often supported by advanced degrees. Familiarity with plasma simulation software, CAD tools, and safety protocols for high-energy environments is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are crucial soft skills in this multidisciplinary field. These skills ensure safe, innovative, and efficient progress in developing fusion energy technologies.

What types of projects and collaborations can I expect to be involved in as an engineer at Tokamak Energy?

As an engineer at Tokamak Energy, you’ll work on multidisciplinary projects focused on advancing fusion energy technologies. You may collaborate with physicists, software developers, and materials scientists to develop innovative solutions for plasma control, superconducting magnets, or advanced diagnostics. The work environment is highly collaborative and fast-paced, encouraging cross-functional teamwork and regular knowledge-sharing sessions. You'll also have opportunities to contribute to international research collaborations and present findings at industry conferences, supporting both your professional growth and the company’s mission.

What is the difference between Tokamak Energy vs Plasma Physicist?

AspectTokamak EnergyPlasma Physicist
Required CredentialsPhysics degree, advanced degrees often preferredPhysics or related science degree, often with a PhD
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, fusion energy facilitiesUniversities, research institutions, labs
Industry UsageFusion energy development companiesAcademic, government, and private research

Both roles involve advanced physics knowledge and work with plasma and fusion concepts. However, Tokamak Energy focuses on developing fusion reactors using tokamak technology within a commercial or research company setting, while Plasma Physicists typically conduct fundamental research in academic or government labs. The skills and credentials overlap significantly, but their work environments and objectives differ.

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 Diagnostician
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is assembling the high-field SPARC tokamak, which aims to be the first magnetic fusion device to achieve net fusion energy, and is predicted to be able to achieve high gain and fusion power up to 140MW. We are completing the design and beginning the assembly and installation of diagnostic systems that will be used to control the plasma and deliver the scientific data necessary to complete the design of ARC. These include approximately 40 sub-systems covering magnetics, interferometry, neutral pressure, x-ray to visible spectroscopy, camera imaging, bolometry, neutrons, Thomson scattering, electron cyclotron emission, reflectometry, Langmuir probes and structural temperature and strain sensing. A more detailed overview can be found at: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/rsi/article/95/10/103518/3317155.
CFS is looking to grow the SPARC team in order to complete back-end design and move diagnostics through fabrication, assembly, commissioning and utilization. Presently the diagnostics team has enough expertise to support all major diagnostic systems, but we are looking to add a generalist who has experience in multiple diagnostics to ensure our team can deliver measurements on SPARC's fast timeline. Candidates will work as part of an integrated diagnostic team along with MIT-PSFC partners and fusion community collaborators from around the world to demonstrate net energy from a tokamak for the first time. CFS encourages applications from both senior and early career fusion scientists and those interested in cross-industry career changers to help us build a diverse team to meet our mission goals.
What you'll do:
  • Shepherd SPARC diagnostic sub-systems through final design, working with a team of scientists, designers, analysts and engineers
  • Integrate technical input from experts in the SPARC team to ensure diagnostic designs will be usable to achieve SPARC's mission goals
  • Develop the diagnostic's assembly, installation, calibration and commissioning plans to ensure SPARC is able to achieve first plasma on-schedule
  • Integrate the diagnostic into the plant-level and real-time plasma control systems
  • Participate in the testing and operation of diagnostic systems that balances learning how to operate SPARC with obtaining physics results as quickly as possible
  • Contribute to a strong safety culture
  • Collaborate with CFS designers and analysts as well as provide feedback to academic partners providing input to SPARC diagnostic designs

What we're looking for:
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field (mechanical, aerospace, civil or nuclear)
  • Participated in the design of a new or upgraded scientific instrument of the scale and complexity of those used in magnetically confined fusion
  • Demonstrated examples of using scientific instruments to support an operational and/or research mission
  • Developed software using Python, Matlab, C++ or equivalent for analysis of experimental data and automation of lab equipment
  • Relevant hands-on knowledge/skills specific to diagnostic systems listed in summary (e.g. vacuum systems, lasers, calibration sources, etc.)
  • Ability to understand concepts and tradeoffs that bridge engineering and physics

Bonus points for:
  • Participated in the design and implementation of a plasma diagnostic for a magnetically confined fusion experiment at University-scale or above

Must-have requirements:
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
  • Perform activities such as climbing, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
  • 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:
