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 Senior Embedded Software Engineer

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, implementation, and verification of software and controls for advanced R&D equipment and complex machinery.

As a member of the Software Engineering team, you will be a hands-on technical contributor. You will be a champion of writing excellent quality, production-ready code for mission-critical real-time systems. You will collect functional requirements from customers and produce software solutions to meet these requirements.

You will work with a variety of engineers to integrate your software into software testbeds, hardware testbeds, and the production tools. You will also contribute to the broader software ecosystem to improve tooling and processes used across the company.

What you'll do:

Develop control software across multiple platforms, including real-time Linux, microcontrollers, and FPGAs
Verify embedded software with Hardware-in-the-loop testbeds and field commissioning activities
Improve software tooling to increase developer velocity and enable new capabilities

What we’re looking for:

Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field (computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, etc.)
7+ years relevant experience
Professional experience with embedded, real-time control systems
Professional experience with producing production quality control software
Experience with modern software development lifecycle practices (CI/CD, git version control, unit testing, integration testing, etc
Proficiency with Python
Proficiency with at least one real-time control language (C++, Rust, etc)

Bonus points for:

Experience with mission or safety critical systems

Experience with large-scale industrial systems

Familiarity with real-time Linux

Familiarity with bare-metal micro controllers

Familiarity with FPGA development

Familiarity with common I/O protocols (SPI, CAN, serial, etc)

Familiarity with general networking (IP/UDP)

Must-have Requirements:

Perform activities such as typing, standing, sitting, etc. 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, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
