Welder - First Shift

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 Welder - First ShiftThis individual is responsible for performing manufacturing in-house welding work for cutting edge high-field superconducting magnets.What you'll do:Weld and inspect large metallic structures and tooling within specified timelines and budgets Set up welding processes as per specifications, incl. determining the correct equipment to use and methods based on the requirementsRead and analyze drawings and take detailed measurements to plan the project layoutCut and join materialPerform hand welding or semi-automated welding.
