Process Equipment Design Engineer
Oklo- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Candidates should possess a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with a minimum of 8 years of experience in process engineering, including at least 3 years in a management role. Demonstrated experience in salt processing, particularly with molten salts, is essential. Strong understanding of engineering design principles, risk management, and project management methodologies is required. Familiarity with U.S. Export Control Laws is also necessary.
As the Process Engineering Manager, you will develop and maintain team infrastructure to ensure consistent design processes and engineering methods across multiple projects, prioritize resources effectively to mitigate risks, review technical documents for accuracy, and serve as a technical authority on process engineering. You will also act as a liaison between the salt process engineering team and other groups within Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and contribute to a culture of actively managing safety risk while carrying engineering risk where appropriate.
Develops and commercializes fusion energy systems
Commonwealth Fusion Systems focuses on developing fusion energy as a clean and sustainable power source. The company utilizes advanced magnet technology, created in partnership with MIT, to build smaller and more affordable fusion systems called tokamaks. These devices use magnetic fields to confine plasma in a toroidal shape, which is an effective method for achieving fusion. Currently, CFS is manufacturing high-temperature superconducting magnets and constructing SPARC, the first commercially-relevant net energy fusion machine. The success of SPARC is intended to lead to the development of ARC, the first fusion power plant. CFS differentiates itself from competitors by its commitment to scientific integrity and a mission-driven approach, focusing on delivering cost-competitive fusion energy to help combat climate change. The ultimate goal is to provide a reliable and abundant energy source for energy providers and industries that require significant power.
