About This Job


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 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 over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

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.

Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in manufacturing to drive continuous improvement initiatives and advance our manufacturing capabilities
Lead and support process validation activities, including Layered Process Reviews and internal audits, and ensure compliance with contractual requirements, regulatory requirements, and industry standards


What we’re looking for:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or other related field
3-8 years of experience in a similar field or industry or an advanced degree with limited experience
Experience with lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and process improvement tools (e.g. DMAIC, Kaizen, 5S, PDCA) to streamline workflows, reduce waste, minimize inventory, and optimize production efficiency
Work independently with sound interpretation and judgement
Ability to mentor junior engineers and production technicians, coordinate activities, and act as a point of contact for specific areas or projects
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (including composites, machining, mechanical assembly, electrical assembly, welding, and special processes)
Experience and ability to evaluate and implement new manufacturing processes, technologies, and innovative solutions to enhance manufacturing capabilities
Hands on experience in process development, optimization, problem solving, and validation
Proficiency in CAD/CAM software (e.g. Siemens NX, SolidWorks, AutoCAD)
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet challenging deadlines, and drive projects to successful completion within budget and scope
