Combining decades of research, top talent and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And 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 over $2 billion in capital – more than any other fusion energy company in the U.S.

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 Process Instrumentation and Control Engineer

The SPARC Instrumentation and Control team seek an experienced Senior Engineer to take responsibility for the design, implementation, testing, installation and commissioning of the I&C for the fluid systems of SPARC. Systems include high temperature and cryogenic helium, nitrogen, hydrogen, noble gases, water, ultra-high vacuum and industrial HVAC. These I&C systems must be integrated with the central I&C systems responsible for machine operations, orchestration, plasma control, machine protection, safety, access control, data acquisition and archiving.

What you'll do:

Design of the I&C for multiple fluid systems of SPARC by production of the required design deliverables according to the SPARC design process
Collaborate with the lead engineers for the fluid systems and central I&C systems and other key stakeholders to ensure all necessary functions and interfaces are included in the design and implemented according to requirements
Coordinate and oversee implementation, testing, installation and commissioning of the I&C systems according to the project schedule
Manage suppliers of components and integrated subsystems of the I&C systems
Produce engineering deliverables such as instrument lists, signal lists, loop diagrams, data sheets and cabling schedules
Produce testing, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance procedures for the I&C systems
Ensure the design is completed in compliance with the Code of Record and established requirements;
Maintain interfaces with other engineering subsystems
Report on and be accountable for progress to the head of I&C and the engineer responsible for the systems for which the I&C is being produced

What we're looking for:

Experience in process, chemical, electronic or instrumentation and control engineering or similar
Designed, built and operated industrial control systems with interlocks and protection functions from concept to completion under a QA program
Selected instrumentation and implemented feedback control loops for gaseous and liquid systems
Application of engineering fundamentals to provide specific I&C solutions depending on the process needs
Instrumentation in challenging environments
Familiarity in applying IEEE and IEC Standards to design solutions
Understanding of the safety risks of fluid based systems
Production of engineering deliverables for design reviews, construction work packages, commissioning, operations and maintenance
Siemens SIMATIC S7 product range
AVEVA or similar

Bonus points for:

Cryogenic systems
Industrial HVAC
Vacuum systems
Hazardous gas systems
Cooling water systems
Radiation effect on instrumentation components throughout the signal path
Magnetic field effect on instrumentation components throughout the signal path
Current best practices and emerging technologies in industrial control systems

Must-have Requirements:

Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time
Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, and noise
Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
