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 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: <ul> <ul><li>Help create an open-source pulse planning, simulation, and physics collaboration framework for tokamaks </li><li>Make software interfaces that meet the needs of multiple internal teams and outside collaborators (discover needs, build consensus, then implement) </li><li>Help scientists incorporate their models/algorithms into high-quality software </li><li>Implement CI/CD processes to reduce maintenance overhead and error rates </li></ul> </ul>What we're looking for: <ul> <ul><li>Bachelor's degree in a technical field preferred </li><li>Worked on software built upon by many other developers (e.g., an open-source physics library or an internal service used by other teams) </li><li>Programming language: Python, including type hinting </li><li>Completed a large project either in a strongly typed language or rigorously using the type hinting features of Python </li><li>Able to independently set up a new software project, including CI/CD processes, linting, unit testing, and software documentation </li><li>Basic understanding of numerical methods, linear algebra, and differential equations </li><li>Able to understand the basics of the project's physics aspects (e.g., undergrad-level electromagnetics and fluid dynamics)) </li></ul> </ul>Bonus points: <ul> <ul><li>Programming languages: C++, Rust, or experience with low-level performance and memory management </li><li>Concurrency and parallelization </li><li>Simulation and systems architecture </li><li>Packaging and distribution of software to third parties, dependency management, and plugin systems </li><li>Developer and contributor engagement </li></ul> </ul>Essential Requirements: <ul> <ul><li>Perform activities such as typing or sitting for extended periods of time </li><li>Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics </li><li>Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally </li><li>#LI-Remote </li></ul> </ul> At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique. As we grow, we're eager to bring on mission-driven folks who offer diverse perspectives and fresh ways to tackle challenges. We value diversity deeply and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer by choice. We consider all qualified applicants equally, regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, protected veteran status, religion, physical or mental disability, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, or any other basis protected by law.

Join the power movement as an Embedded Software Engineer 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. These closed-loop systems must control at rates substantially greater than 1 kHz and must sample some parameters in the MHz range. These systems must interface with the SPARC plasma control system, data system, and other plant systems running on industrial control platforms. As a member of the embedded software team you will be a hands-on technical leader, in charge of writing excellent quality, production-ready code for mission-critical real-time systems. You will collect functional requirements from plant and tokamak engineers, operations engineers, and plasma physicists and produce software solutions to meet these requirements. You will work with simulation and test engineers to integrate your software into software testbeds, hardware testbeds, and the SPARC tokamak. The culmination of your team's work will control SPARC through first plasma, fusion operations, and the first time a controlled fusion reaction produces more energy than is consumes. What you'll do: <ul> <ul><li>Develop real-time, high-rate software platforms and associated toolchains </li><li>Contribute to the software development lifecycle for control and data acquisition software across SPARC </li><li>Write and maintain the documentation of SPARC software functional requirements from design engineers, operations engineers, and plasma physicists </li><li>Work with instrumentation and controls engineers to specify hardware components and integrated systems for fast control and measurement systems </li><li>Support SPARC system integration, commissioning, and plasma fusion operations </li></ul> </ul>What we're looking for: <ul> <ul><li>Engineering degree in related field, such as computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, etc. </li><li>Experience in developing software in C, C++, rust, or similar compiled language. </li><li>Understanding of the fundamentals of embedded and real-time software systems. </li></ul> </ul>Bonus points: <ul> <ul><li>Broad embedded system software development experience including bare-metal code, driver development, OS platform development, and real-time application development </li><li>Low-latency network communication </li><li>C++, Python (compiled systems programming and interpreted scripting languages) </li><li>Linux </li><li>Microcontroller or FPGA development </li><li>Networking (IP/UDP/TCP) </li><li>Software/hardware interfaces (ADCs/DACs, UARTs, Ethernet, etc.) </li></ul> </ul>Essential Requirements: <ul> <ul><li>Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs </li><li>Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time </li><li>Adhere to safety protocols for safety hazards for heat, cold, and noise </li><li>Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call </li><li>#LI-Onsite </li></ul> </ul> At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique.
