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.

The SPARC facility is intended to be the world’s first net-energy fusion device. It features a 30kW at 10K equivalent cryogenics (CRYO) plant to provide cooling to high-temperature superconducting (HTS magnets) and other critical components within the reactor. Within CRYO, the cryodistribution (CRYD) system consists of a 30-ft distribution box and up to 30” outer diameter vacuum-jacketed lines to remove and convey heat generated within the reactor to the cryoplant (CRYP). The cryoplant (CRYP) rejects the heat to the SPARC cooling water system.

The CRYD Blowdown System enables storage, release, recapture, and recool of cryogenic helium at large flow rates through the HTS magnets during the highest power fusion pulses. The system consists of a series of large cryogenic tanks, valves, and VJLs, with a dedicated controls system.

The CRYD Blowdown Lead will own responsibility for delivering an operational CRYD Blowdown System - meeting technical requirements, on-time and on-budget.
