Devens, United States Commonwealth Fusion Systems Full time

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 Software Engineering team is seeking an exceptional Industrial Control System Engineer to contribute to the design, implementation, testing, installation and commissioning of the control systems for SPARC, manufacturing, and R&D projects. The SPARC industrial control systems will orchestrate the SPARC facility, bringing together hundreds of subsystems and achieving high availability for SPARC operations, while control systems for manufacturing and R&D will build, test, and assemble magnets and other components for SPARC, and the next generation of hardware for ARC.

This team member will:

    • Develop software for PLCs, SCADA applications, and associated toolchains
    • Contribute to the software development lifecycle for control and data acquisition software across SPARC
    • Write and maintain the documentation of SPARC software functional requirements from design engineers, operations engineers, and plasma physicists
    • Work with instrumentation and controls engineers to specify hardware components and integrated systems for control and measurement systems
    • Support SPARC system integration, commissioning, and plasma fusion operations
The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
    • Several years of experience with industrial control systems and automation technologies or embedded systems
    • Experience with Siemens S7-1500 PLCs and TIA portal
    • Experience with Beckhoff PLCs and TwinCAT
    • Experience designing and building SCADA/HMI, particularly Ignition
    • Proficiency with IEC 61131-3 languages, particularly Structured Text / SCL.
    • Experience gathering requirements, function definition and decomposition, technical writing and documentation
    • Knowledge and experience with software development lifecycle - QA, version control, unit testing, commissioning and maintenance
Additional experience and/or qualifications:
    • Other programming skills, such as C++, Python
    • Linux
    • Experience with Profinet, Profibus, S7, OPC UA, Modbus, BACnet, UDP, other communication protocols
    • Familiarity with IEEE, IEC standards.
    • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
    • Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time
    • Adhere to safety protocols for safety hazards for heat, cold, and noise
    • Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
    • #LI-Onsite
