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 Metrology Engineer 

CFS is an innovative clean energy company designing SPARC, a tokamak-style fusion power demonstrator able to achieve net energy plasmas. This demonstrator will lead to ARC, a power-plant scale fusion power generator system. SPARC includes high-temperature superconducting and copper magnets, thermal shields, cryogenic cooling systems, vacuum vessels, and plasma facing components, all of which are densely packed into a power system and are subject to large operational loads (thermal, electromagnetic, etc.). Critical to the success and performance of the device is the precise alignment and assembly of key systems and structures within the dense device assembly. As a Metrology Engineer on the SPARC Assembly team, your responsibility will be to utilize portable 3D metrology technology to perform mid- to large-scale precision alignments and dimensional inspections on a wide variety of unique SPARC systems and structures according to the SPARC metrology plan.

We are a fast-paced, agile, growing company that values diversity of thought and creativity, looking to apply our knowledge to pioneer a new method of energy generation for the betterment of the world. We look for people who have bold new ideas and perspectives, enthusiasm, imagination, a pioneering spirit, and a talent for execution to join us in our endeavor to create new fusion power technology that could change the world.

What you'll do:
  • Use laser trackers and other portable 3D metrology equipment to perform precision alignments and dimensional inspections in a manufacturing/job site environment on a variety of components varying in scale from handheld to full power plant
  • Perform metrology tasks both independently and as part of a team according to the baseline metrology plan and the guidance of senior metrology staff
  • Optimize measurement efficiency by utilizing logical portable 3D metrology sequences and industry best practices
  • Maintain well-organized files and datasets that follow logical structure for ease of review as needed throughout the SPARC project
  • Evaluate measurement uncertainty and how it relates to the accuracy of results
  • Analyze and review metrology data for accuracy and effectively communicate results to stakeholders
  • In adverse cases, work with stakeholders to create and execute a workflow that allows efficient and expedient completion of mis-alignment issues
  • Exercise proper care and maintenance of metrology equipment to ensure operability and accuracy
  • Occasionally collaborate with design/engineering teams to understand requirements and work with the metrology team to develop unique solutions that balance precision and accuracy with a demanding project schedule
  • Occasionally assist with analysis of production metrology data of major SPARC components that overlaps with the overall precision alignment plan
  • Assist with non-metrology assembly activities as needed when metrology activities are light
What we're looking for:
  • High School Diploma or equivalent
  • 5+ years experience using laser trackers for mid- to large-scale 3D metrology in a manufacturing/jobsite setting (i.e. other than QC lab)
  • 5+ years experience using portable metrology software for 3D data collection and advanced metrology analyses (e.g. SpatialAnalyzer, Polyworks, Verisurf, etc.)
  • Experience using non-contact laser line scanners for inspecting complex shapes and free-form features
  • Experience with precision alignment of large, delicate, and complex structures in dense spaces
  • Experience with large metrology control networks, multiple instrument setups, and alignments of components across multiple rooms without line-of-sight to reference objects
  • Experience working both  independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team with different levels of engineering, manufacturing, or operations professionals
  • Experience using CAD to extract information for alignments/inspections
  • Experience with traditional metrology hand tools and table-top methods for small scale components
  • Intermediate understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5
  • Advanced level of 3D spatial awareness and reasoning, and the ability to describe such in a clear and concise manner
