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.
Senior Electrical Engineer - Battery Storage Systems reporting to the Director of Power Systems in the SPARC team at CFS. Responsible to lead and coordinate complex electrical design projects and interface with cross-function stakeholders while ensuring a high-quality design release that meets specifications, project timelines within budget allocated. The team will evaluate, specify, and collaborate in the development and implementation of battery systems into CFS energy storage systems. You will be responsible for all stages of the battery storage system from intake of prototype to system integration and final commissioning.
This team member will:Lead complex technical design activities to design, build and deliver battery storage systems design for fusion powerDesign and engineering of battery systems, in collaboration with vendors to maximize consistency and minimize technical and schedule risks.Spearhead battery system prototype testing at internal labs at CFS and external vendor labs.Develop test bed at CFS for cyclic, aging and thermal testing of battery systems in conjunction with inductive load including data acquisition, evaluation and documentation.Lead system integration, installation, commissioning, debugging and operation of battery storage systems with a pragmatic perspective.Apply experience in test methods to drive design from concept through final testing and commissioning steps including troubleshooting.Apply core electrical engineering knowledge and experience to design of battery storage system design.Interface with cross functional teams with focus on high quality design and implementationSupport critical procurement contracts & vendor coordinationApply best electrical safety practices & compliance standards in design and implementationDocument design specifications, simulations and test results into engineering reportsThe ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:
8+ years of related experience with Bachelor's degree (or) a Master's degree with 6+ years of experience in battery or photo voltaic (solar) with battery storage systems (or) related technologiesProven track record in design and field execution (system, protection, control & mechanical integration) of battery storage systems.Experience in deployment of battery storage systems in the field and being the prime point of contact for field service engineers and troubleshoot issues as they come upAbility to lead a technical team from conception of idea till implementation in a fast-paced environmentProven experience with battery management systems (controls, protection & operation) and telemetry systems involved.Experience with battery storage systems that are integrated with downstream power conversion systems with ability to tie into the gridExperience with modeling, simulation and analysis backed with validation via functional testingExcellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to conduct design reviews, organize / present results to both expert and non-technical audiencesResults driven and ability to embrace and convince stakeholders on a change in design direction in pursuit of a high-quality product releaseAdditional preferred experience and/or qualifications:
Master's degree in electrical engineeringExperience in practical application of electrical engineering skills to construction, manufacturing, testing and field installationsExperience with mathematical modeling of batteries or experimental work in the field of batteriesExperience with application of compliance standards to the designsExperience in problem solving, root cause analysis and field containment actionsExperience with hands on prototype build, prototype testing and documentation of results is a plusExperience with scaling up independent systems to a larger system to meet higher power requirementsAbility to lift up to 50lbsPerform activities such as standing or sitting for extended periods of timeWillingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionallyWork in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics#LI-Onsite
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.
