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.Join the power movement as a Senior Multiphysics ModelerThe Senior Multiphysics Modeler will work closely with the CFS tritium program and process engineering team to develop a fuel cycle model for the world's first fusion power plant, ARC, located in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The senior multiphysics modeler will develop simulation toolkits and workflows that integrate first-principles multiphysics simulations with industrial process models to support technology development and subsystem integration for key fuel cycle systems, supported by the CFS fuel team to understand system requirements. The ideal candidate is an expert in heat and mass transport modeling, with an appreciation for simplicity and drive to build. This individual knows the power of optimizing devices by tuning material parameters, and appreciates a simple non-dimensional analysis and rigorous integrated simulations as the problem space requires. The candidate enjoys teaching and building tools that others can use independently. Applicants must have a degree in a relevant engineering or science discipline as well as experience in process modeling and programming. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to apply a first principles approach in solving complex engineering problems and experience conducting cost-benefit to evaluate the economics of proposed solutions. Applicants must have demonstrated success working on engineering projects in multi-disciplinary teams generating effective solutions to complex problems.\nWhat you'll do:Lead the development of an integrated power plant fuel cycle modelDevelop models for unit operations and incorporate multi-effects in componentsDevelop simulation tools to enable targeted R&D for key fuel cycle technologiesOwn the fuel cycle simulation tools and modelsValidate models and identify key R&D requirements to enable validation where there are currently gaps in the literatureCollaborate cross-functionally with both internal and external experts to ensure fuel cycle models are feasible, economic and state-of-the-artDevelop processes and layouts for fueling subsystem blocks that are communicated through standard engineering documentsGenerate detailed work plans and define milestones, integrated with R&D, to deliver validated modelsProvide guidance to colleagues for use of developed modeling tools and outputsIdentify emerging trends and opportunities and influence CFSs’s fuel cycle modeling strategyWhat we're looking for:Master’s degree or similar experience with 7+ years in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, materials science, physical chemistry or similar5+ years experience modeling process systems5+ years experience in computer programmingKnowledge of transport phenomena and chemical processes in gassesExperience building integrated process modelsProcess engineering and systems integrationExperience managing large data setsUnderstanding of scalable simulationsTrack record in version controlData reduction and results analysisBonus points for:Experience with Python and/or MatlabExperience with multiphysics tools such as ComsolExposure to process simulators like HYSYSUse of engineering management toolsConfluence/JIRA and remote collaboration toolsFusion energy experienceChemical engineeringAtom and molecular mass transportMust-have requirements:Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbsPerform activities such as sitting, typing, standing, stooping, or climbing for extended periods of timeDedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenicsWillingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally\n$110,000 - $185,000 a yearSalary range for this full-time position + equity + benefits. The actual salary will depend on level, location, qualifications, and experience. The range displayed on each job posting reflects new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Benefits include:•  Competitive compensation with equity•  13 Company-wide Holidays•  Flexible vacation days•  10 sick days•  Generous parental leave policy•  Health, dental, and vision insurance•  401(k) with employer matching•  Professional growth opportunities•  Team-building activities\n#LI-HybridAt 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.
