Staff Quality Engineer - Advanced Metrology Integration

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) 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. Since 2018, we’ve raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world. Location: Devens, MA Staff Quality Engineer – Advanced Metrology Integration Responsibilities Manufacturing‑Driven GD&T Interpretation: Take complex design requirements and work directly with Manufacturing Engineers to determine how to achieve critical tolerances using existing equipment and novel fabrication methods. Proactive Problem Solving: Lead the development of risk‑informed QA controls that bridge the gap between design intent and shop‑floor reality to positively impact the CFS mission. Inspection Architecture: Architect measurement systems and quality inspection methods specifically designed for the assembly of large metallic components, moving beyond theoretical models to executable floor‑level plans. Disposition Leadership: Provide high‑level leadership in dispositioning Non‑Conformance Reports (NCRs), focusing on "use‑as‑is" or "rework" justifications based on structural integrity and functional requirements. Process Stabilization: Regularly analyze manufacturing data using control charts and process capability studies to identify where the "build" is diverging from the "print," escalating insights to Operations to drive immediate process adjustments. Sub‑system Integration: Facilitate the creation and execution of PFMEAs and Quality Plans for the installation of sub‑systems, ensuring that assembly tolerances are managed as the SPARC project scales. Measurement System Analysis (MSA): Lead advanced MSA and Gage R&R studies to ensure that the methods used to measure novel designs are statistically sound and repeatable in a production environment. Mentorship & Oversight: Provide technical coaching to QC Inspectors and Quality Engineers, specifically regarding GD&T interpretation on the shop floor. Qualifications BS in Mechanical, Industrial, Material Science or Manufacturing Engineering. Minimum 10+ years of Quality Engineering experience in a manufacturing, assembly or equipment manufacturing environment, specifically focused on transitioning new products to production. GD&T Expertise: Mastery of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with a proven ability to translate theoretical tolerances into practical manufacturing work instructions. Metrology: Deep knowledge of CMM, Romer Arm, and Laser tracker applied to complex geometries. ISO 9001‑2015, Six Sigma, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Process Capability Analysis, PFMEA, Measurement System Analysis (MSA), APQP. Knowledge of cryogenics. Minitab or JMP, MS Excel (including VBA), MS Visio. Excellent communication and organization skills. Knowledge of NDE (non‑destructive evaluation) methods including dye penetrant, ultrasonic, eddy current, and x‑ray. Bonus Points Hardware Assembly: Extensive experience with the assembly of large metallic components, welding processes and nondestructive testing. Statistical Tools: Proficiency in Minitab or JMP for conducting Process Capability Analysis and Six Sigma methodologies. Must‑Have Requirements Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs. Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on‑call occasionally. Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time. Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics. Salary and Benefits $130,000 - $200,000 a year. The range reflects new hire salaries for the position across all U.S. locations. Salary will depend on level, location, qualifications, and experience, plus equity and benefits. Benefits include: Competitive compensation with equity 13 company‑wide holidays Flexible vacation days 10 sick days Generous parental leave policy Health, dental, and vision insurance 401(k) with employer matching Professional growth opportunities Team‑building activities We value diversity deeply and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer by choice.
