Build and validate unit-operation and multiphysics models, define R&D milestones, create engineering layouts and documentation, collaborate cross-functionally, own simulation tools, guide colleagues, and identify validation needs and opportunities to improve economics and integration.

Serve as SME for dimensional management and inspection strategy for HTS magnet production. Translate GD&T into manufacturable requirements, architect inspection systems, lead MSA/Gage R&R and SPC efforts, disposition NCRs with risk-informed decisions, create PFMEAs and quality plans, mentor QC inspectors, and stabilize processes through capability analysis to enable SPARC project production.

Lead and scale a global, hardware-intensive supply chain for commercial fusion power plants. Build strategy and supplier roadmaps, negotiate complex partnerships, architect supply chain systems, and manage a ~100-person team to enable multi-plant annual delivery.

Lead sourcing, procurement, and supplier management for SPARC Assembly. Develop purchasing processes, execute sourcing strategies and negotiations, manage contracts and supplier performance, coordinate with planners and engineers, report project status, and drive cost, lead-time, and quality improvements. Ensure compliance with procurement, IP, and export controls and support supplier visits and NPI activities.

Lead advanced multi-physics simulation (FEA/CFD) for next-gen hardware, run coupled thermal-structural-fluid-chemical analyses, validate models against test data, drive design reviews, manage modeling deliverables, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver prototype-ready designs.

Support procurement operations including creating purchase orders, reviewing and negotiating standard contracts, issuing RFQs and analyzing quotes, onboarding suppliers, managing open orders, resolving invoice issues, purchasing from MRP and project requests, and providing timely updates while adhering to supply chain and export compliance policies.

The Staff Controls and Software Engineer will develop control systems for fusion energy equipment, collaborate with R&D and engineering teams, and oversee project design, testing, and optimization.

Lead and grow a process engineering team to develop and stabilize vacuum-based thin film processes (sputtering, thermal). Create SOPs, train staff, manage vendors, drive continuous improvement with equipment and integration engineering, and implement data/LIMS and DOE-driven process controls to meet technical milestones.

Develop, select, and maintain metrology and measurement systems. Create SOPs, train staff, manage data via LIMS/MES, coordinate metrology vendors, and ensure safety and quality in challenging environments.

Lead full-cycle, high-volume recruiting across technical and non-technical departments. Build hiring manager relationships, improve recruiting processes and candidate experience, source top talent, run interview trainings, and collaborate with TA and HR teams to shorten time-to-fill and drive diverse hiring.

As a Diagnostician, you will oversee the design and implementation of diagnostic sub-systems for the SPARC tokamak, ensuring operational efficacy and safety while collaborating with a diverse team.

Perform mid- to large-scale precision alignments and dimensional inspections using portable 3D metrology (laser trackers, scanners, software). Collect, organize, and analyze metrology datasets, evaluate measurement uncertainty, communicate results, collaborate with design and manufacturing teams, and support assembly activities while maintaining equipment and following safety and onsite procedures.

Design, implement, and verify production-quality control software and real-time systems for advanced R&D equipment; gather requirements; integrate software with hardware and testbeds; develop operator interfaces and improve tooling and developer workflows.
