Job Summary
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 were designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And were working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.
Were in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018 weve raised nearly $3 billion in capital making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.
Now were looking for more thinkers doers builders and makers to join us. People wholl bring new perspectives solve tough problems and thrive as part of a team.
If thats you and this role fits we want to hear from you.
Join the power movement as an R&D Electromagnetic Analysis Engineer
The R&D teams mission at CFS is to vet potential technical solutions in order to guide the overall SPARC subsystem design and plan for the technology needs of future fusion power plants and spin-off projects. The Electromagnetics Analysis Engineer within the R&D team will perform electromagnetic (EM) analysis of superconducting magnets using finite element and other methods. This analysis includes the non-linear anisotropic behavior of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) in both insulated and non-insulated magnet systems. Incorporating multi-physics (heat transfer fluids mechanics etc) into 3D FEA models are also crucial to modelling the multi-physics behavior of superconducting magnets. The Electromagnetics Analysis Engineer will also work with a team of experimentalists and engineers to validate simulations against experimental data. Familiarity with both commercial finite element analysis software packages and developing custom in-house code and extensions of commercial packages is necessary.
This work is conducted within a multi-disciplinary team of physicists and engineers. Participation and clear concise communication in design and test activities is necessary to both inform design decisions and correlate models to experiment.
What youll do:
- Perform electromagnetic analysis of superconducting magnets and inform design decisions
- Work with experimental teams on instrumentation measurement and correlation of experiment to analysis
- Develop new numerical tools as needed to facilitate multi-objective design optimization of high-temperature superconducting magnets
- Perform non-linear highly-anisotropic E&M simulations in complicated geometries
- Identify enabling technologies in the modeling and construction of high-temperature superconducting magnets
- Prepare reports and presentations as necessary
- Mentor and guide new members of the team in magnet design and analysis as necessary
What were looking for:
- At least a Bachelors Degree in electrical engineering or another relevant field with an EM background (physics mechanical engineering etc.)
- 5 years of experience modeling electromagnetics using finite element method
- A strong background and theoretical understanding of computational electromagnetic analysis
- Experience modeling non-linear physics
- Experience with commercial finite element tools. COMSOL preferred
- The ability to customize commercial finite element tools or develop new in-house codes in modern programming languages such Python/MATLAB/C/C
- Able to quickly grasp experimental setups and analyze data to validate models
- An ability to clearly express and critique ideas
- Ability to innovate towards solutions to complex problems
- An emphasis on elegance and simplicity over complexity
- A drive towards commercially viable solutions
- A history of thriving in fast-paced dynamic environments
- Values that align with our companys values of integrity execution impact and self-critique
Bonus points for:
- Multi-physics FEM modeling with electromagnetics heat transfer mechanics fluids structures etc.
- Experience working with superconducting non-linear physics
- Developing equivalent thermal and electrical circuit models
Must-have requirements:
- Perform activities such as sitting for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat cold noise fumes strong magnets lead (Pb) high voltage high current pressure systems and cryogenics
$90000 - $145000 a year
