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 an Staff Open Innovation Engineer

The Open Innovation Engineer is an individual who operates at the intersection of deep technical fluency and strategic relationship-building. You will help build the architecture of CFS' external innovation ecosystem: identifying, recruiting, and activating the world's best researchers, institutions, and programs to accelerate our roadmap and retire risk. You will represent CFS to National Laboratories, universities, government agencies, international fusion programs, and private partners — and you will bring those relationships to life as funded, milestone-driven technical collaborations that move the needle on the hardest, most consequential engineering problems in the world.

This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You will develop and directly collaborate with CFS and partner technical and business leads to drive programs forward, shape strategy and be in the room when CFS' most important external decisions get made. If you are someone who wants to be at the tip of the spear on a civilization-defining mission — and who has the technical depth, relationship instincts, and entrepreneurial drive to thrive there — we are building this role for you.
