Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.CFS collaborates with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with groundbreaking new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. Our mission is to deploy these power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. To that end, CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.The SPARC Software team seeks an exceptional software engineer to develop real-time, high-rate software for the SPARC tokamak. SPARC senses thousands of physical measurements while controlling millions of amps to superconducting magnets and millions of watts of RF power to the plasma.

The SPARC Software team seeks an exceptional software engineer to be a member of the Algorithms & Simulation group. This team is responsible for high-level tokamak orchestration, collaborating with fusion scientists to develop real-time plasma control algorithms, hardware-in-the-loop testbeds and simulation infrastructure necessary for validation, and develop other safety-critical control software that runs the SPARC tokamak and plant. SPARC senses thousands of physical measurements while controlling millions of amps to superconducting magnets and millions of watts of RF power to the plasma. These closed-loop systems must control at rates substantially greater than 1 kHz and must sample some parameters in the MHz range. The technology platforms involved include real-time Linux, bare-metal microcontrollers, FPGAs, and industrial PLCs. The testbeds and simulation environments must be able to validate software across all these platforms. The team will be responsible for both Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) and software-only testbeds. Specific infrastructure you will help develop may include software for test orchestration, deployment to testbeds, evaluation of test success, and automatic integration into continuous integration systems. The team will also develop models or model infrastructure for both real-time simulation (e.g. for HITL or operator training) or offline analysis (e.g. for high-fidelity algorithm development).

Must-have Requirements:      Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
Perform activities such as typing for extended periods of time
Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics

Join the power movement as a Senior Scientific Software Engineer

The Scientific Software team at CFS develops software that helps us understand and build superconducting magnets and tokamaks. The primary project for this role will be an open-source pulse planning, simulation, and physics collaboration framework for tokamaks. We seek an experienced software engineer (Senior to Principal level) to help establish the architecture of this simulation framework. Researchers will use this framework to develop new physics models or control/estimation algorithms and virtually test them on the SPARC or ARC tokamaks. We hope to foster collaboration between CFS and physics/controls/machine learning researchers at partner universities and corporate research groups by making the sim framework open-source.

Thus, the simulation framework must be easy to use and add modules to while also being interoperable with CFS's internal tokamak control software and test infrastructure. An ideal candidate would have made software that many other developers built upon and show an aptitude for learning about the project's physics aspects.

What you'll do:
Help create an open-source pulse planning, simulation, and physics collaboration framework for tokamaks
Make software interfaces that meet the needs of multiple internal teams and outside collaborators (discover needs, build consensus, then implement)
Help scientists incorporate their models/algorithms into high-quality software
Implement CI/CD processes to reduce maintenance overhead and error rates
What we're looking for:      Bachelor's degree in a technical field preferred
Worked on software built upon by many other developers (e.g., an open-source physics library or an internal service used by other teams)
Programming language: Python, including type hinting
Completed a large project either in a strongly typed language or rigorously using the type hinting features of Python
Able to independently set up a new software project, including CI/CD processes, linting, unit testing, and software documentation
Basic understanding of numerical methods, linear algebra, and differential equations
Able to understand the basics of the project's physics aspects (e.g., undergrad-level electromagnetics and fluid dynamics))
Bonus points for:      Programming languages: C++, Rust, or experience with low-level performance and memory management
Concurrency and parallelization
Simulation and systems architecture
Packaging and distribution of software to third parties, dependency management, and plugin systems
Developer and contributor engagement
Must-have Requirements:      Perform activities such as typing or 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, and cryogenics
Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
