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.
Join the power movement as a Scientist - Disruption Physics
The Scientist - Disruption Physics will lead the prediction, avoidance and physics studies of disruption chains of events allowing SPARC to efficiently meet its missions and laying the foundation for disruption prediction on ARC.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is building the SPARC tokamak, which aims to be the first magnetic confinement device to achieve net energy and is predicted to operate with an energy gain up to 11, producing up to 140 MW of fusion power. SPARC is also the first tokamak to operate with disruption loads on the power plant scale. In order to maximize the lifetime of SPARC and to accelerate the achievement of operational milestones, high performance disruptions should be avoided or predicted and mitigated as often as possible. The appearance of disruption precursors and knowledge of proximity to instability boundaries allows for the plasma control system to take actions either to avoid or to mitigate disruptions. This person will collate a complete set of robust off-normal warnings, determine appropriate responses to each warning, and advance the physics of disruption prediction and avoidance. On the CFS Disruptions Team, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to observe power plant relevant disruption physics for the first time and help in formulating the solution.
