Commonwealth Fusion Systems
The fastest path to clean, limitless fusion energy.
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 Senior OT Cybersecurity Engineer reports to the Director of Cybersecurity and is responsible for the security of operational technology (OT/ICS) systems and infrastructure at CFS. Working collaboratively with internal IT and OT teams, the Senior OT Security Engineer plays a key role in implementing and maintaining a comprehensive OT cybersecurity program to secure OT operations. They will implement and administer network, systems, and processes/controls needed to ensure that OT operations are properly secured, with a particular focus on Industrial control systems and the convergence of Cloud and OT (IIoT). The position also provides systems administration for ongoing IT cybersecurity operations, security advice to advance the cybersecurity program, and helps assess new systems and applications before they are implemented.
At CFS, we deeply value diversity and are an equal opportunity employer by choice. We consider all qualified applicants equally for employment.
