Metrology Engineer - Contract

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 we're 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 nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.

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.

What you'll do: Use laser trackers and other portable 3D metrology equipment to perform precision alignments and dimensional inspections in a manufacturing/job site environment on a variety of components varying in scale from handheld to full power plant

Perform metrology tasks both independently and as part of a team according to the baseline metrology plan and the guidance of senior metrology staff

Optimize measurement efficiency by utilizing logical portable 3D metrology sequences and industry best practices

Maintain well-organized files and datasets that follow logical structure for ease of review as needed throughout the SPARC project

Evaluate measurement uncertainty and how it relates to the accuracy of results

Analyze and review metrology data for accuracy and effectively communicate results to stakeholders

In adverse cases, work with stakeholders to create and execute a workflow that allows efficient and expedient completion of mis-alignment issues

Exercise proper care and maintenance of metrology equipment to ensure operability and accuracy

Occasionally collaborate with design/engineering teams to understand requirements and work with the metrology team to develop unique solutions that balance precision and accuracy with a demanding project schedule

Occasionally assist with analysis of production metrology data of major SPARC components that overlaps with the overall precision alignment plan

Assist with non-metrology assembly activities as needed when metrology activities are light

What we're looking for: High School Diploma or equivalent

2+ years experience using laser trackers with non-contact laser line scanners

2+ years experience using SpatialAnalyzer metrology software for 3D data collection and advanced metrology analyses

2+ years of mid- to large-scale metrology in a manufacturing/jobsite setting (i.e. other than QC lab)

Experience using non-contact laser line scanners for inspecting complex shapes and free-form features

Experience with precision alignment of large, delicate, and complex structures in dense spaces

Experience with large metrology control networks, multiple instrument setups, and alignments of components across multiple rooms without line-of-sight to reference objects

Experience working as part of a multi-disciplinary team with different levels of engineering, manufacturing, or operations professionals

Experience using CAD (e.g. NX, Solidworks, CATIA) to extract information for alignments/inspections

Intermediate understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5

Must-have Requirements: Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs

Perform activities such as sitting, climbing, stooping, typing, and standing for extended periods of time

Working from heights is required. Must be able to safely utilize fall protection for work at heights of up to 35 feet via MEWPs (i.e. boom lift, scissor lift), temporary platforms (i.e. scaffolding, custom platforms), and ladders when necessary.

Ability to work in confined, tight, or awkward spaces

Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics

Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally based on evolving build schedule

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.

This role requires compliance with U.S. laws concerning the export of controlled or protected technologies or information (collectively, "Export Control Laws"). Any offer of employment will be contingent on the need for compliance with such Export Control Laws.
