Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy.

CFS collaborates with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with groundbreaking new high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. Our mission is to deploy these power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. To that end, CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. To implement this plan, we are looking to add dedicated people to the team who treat people well, improve our work by adding multifaceted perspectives and new ways of solving problems, have achieved outstanding results through a range of pursuits, and have skills and experience related to this role.

CFS is seeking an Intern with knowledge in Computational Electromagnetics and Finite Element Analysis of Magnet systems.

Program Details:

    • 12-16 week internship program
    • 40-50 hours per week with set hourly salary based on year in school
    • Opportunity for this position is in Devens, MA. If an intern is going to be on site, you will be responsible for your own transportation and housing
    • Specific project assignments and required technical skillset will vary based on the team’s existing need.
    • Opportunities available for currently enrolled college students in all levels of schooling from bachelor’s degree to PhD
    • Interns must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer

This team member will:

    • Perform FEA simulations, magnetic field analysis of highly non-linear, anisotropic systems utilizing both commercial as well as in-house finite element simulation tools
    • Customize FEA tools though scripting (Python/C++ etc.) as needed

The ideal candidate will have most, if not all, of these requirements:

    • Master’s or PhD Student in Electrical Engineering, Seniors with experience
    • Requirements: Applied Physics (engineering)
    • Strong background and theoretical understanding of computational electromagnetic models and electromagnetic fields is required;
    • Experience with commercial FEA tools like COMSOL is a plus
    • Ability to customize FEA tools using scripting tools like Python/MATLAB/C++ is a plus
    • Ability to perform multiphysics coupling simulations (coupling heat transfer and solid mechanics physics)
    • Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, and cryogenics
    • #LI-Onsite
