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, suppliers, and many others to build the energy industry of the future.

We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised $4 billion of capital, making us the largest and leading 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.

Join the power movement as a Materials Test Engineering Intern

The CFS Materials Team is seeking a motivated Materials Test Engineering Intern to join our cutting-edge team. In this role, you will support the development and testing of advanced materials critical to key tokamak systems such as plasma-facing components, the vacuum vessel, and high field magnets. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation in a collaborative, fast-paced R&D environment.

Program Details:

  • 13-18 week internship
  • 40-50 hours per week with set hourly salary based on year in school

  • Support day-to-day operations and test development work in the Materials Test Lab, including sample preparation, test execution, data collection, and analysis
  • Work alongside engineers and technicians to enable material performance evaluation for critical fusion components
  • Contribute to custom test development projects
  • Example projects may include: commissioning a new vacuum furnace, designing and testing a new polishing and etching recipe for novel materials, troubleshooting complex test equipment to enable renewed testing campaigns, creating and implementing methods to extract grain size or inclusion or other data from SEM or optical images, and working with FTIR

What we’re looking for:

  • Pursuing an engineering degree with focus in the field of Materials Engineering or Mechanical Engineering
  • Experience with FTIR, Optical and SEM imaging and polishing and sample preparation
  • Interest or experience with materials science, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, mechanical testing, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, nanoscience, microscopy, engineering lab work, or instrumentation
  • Hands-on or engineering project experience or hands-on experience with materials testing and characterization equipment and testing procedures is preferred
  • Demonstration of exceptional results through a range of different pursuits
  • High self-motivation and drive to execute quickly with excellent troubleshooting/problem-solving skills

Must-have Requirements:

  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally
  • Perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
