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.

Manage cost & schedule along with driving critical risk-based decisions throughout the project life cycle

At least 5 years of hands-on experience as the responsible engineer or technical contributor, with direct accountability for delivering complex engineering projects
At least 5+ years of experience managing the development of complex technical projects from concept through production, launch and scaling, with a strong engineering background and the ability to engage deeply with technical teams, architecture decisions, and system-level trade-offs
Familiarity with new product introduction (NPI) programs, evaluating concept trade-offs, and bringing products from concept design through production.
Proficiency in project planning and scheduling, with ability to lead teams through complex projects and programs
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience collaborating across engineering and business teams
