Full job description
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 a Control Software Engineer
As a Control 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, 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.
\nWhat you'll do:
Develop control software across multiple platforms, including PLCs and real-time Linux
Develop operator interfaces and workflows
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.)
5+ years of experience with industrial control systems and/or embedded control systems
5+ years of experience in 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++, SCL/ST, rust, etc)
Bonus points for:
Experience with industrial protocols (e.g. EtherCat, Profinet, Modbus, etc)
Experience developing Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for industrial or scientific equipment
Familiarity with industrial control platforms (e.g. Beckhoff TwinCat)
Familiarity with Linux
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
\n
$110,000 - $160,000 a year
Salary range for this full-time position + equity + benefits. The actual salary will depend on level, location, qualifications, and experience. The range displayed on each job posting reflects new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Benefits include:
• Competitive compensation with equity
• 13 Company-wide Holidays

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is on a mission to deliver clean fusion energy to the planet fast enough to matter for humanity’s biggest challenges.
It’s urgent. The gap between the energy we need and the energy we have is widening every day. Fusion is a critical part of the energy transition away from fossil fuels, a new chapter for the world’s energy supply.
We’re committing to delivering fusion power plants and a full-fledged fusion energy industry as we’ve delivered on other promises. Like the world’s strongest high-temperature superconducting magnet, the game-changing technology that’s making commercial fusion energy a reality.
We’ve raised over $2 billion in capital — more than any other fusion energy company — and attracted top talent to design, build, and deliver commercial fusion power plants. And we’re working with policymakers and suppliers to make fusion energy available globally.
As we push toward the fusion-energy future, we’ll keep setting and meeting milestones, sharing and validating our progress, and encouraging others to do the same.
