Systems Safety Engineer
Reliable Robotics- Full Time
- Mid-level (3 to 4 years)
Commonwealth Fusion Systems
The Senior Director of Environment, Health, and Safety should possess a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health and Safety, Engineering, or a related field, and ideally have 10+ years of experience in EHS management, with a strong preference for experience in high-hazard environments or research and development settings. Demonstrated leadership experience, particularly in developing and implementing comprehensive EHS programs, is essential, along with knowledge of relevant regulations and standards.
As the Senior Director of Environment, Health, and Safety, you will be responsible for developing and leading the EHS strategy for Commonwealth Fusion Systems, championing a safety-first culture, and driving continuous improvement across all EHS aspects. This includes integrating EHS considerations into design and construction, overseeing complex systems and high-risk hazards, conducting investigations, and collaborating with various departments to align EHS objectives with business goals, ultimately setting a precedent for safe operations within the fusion industry.
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.
