About the role
The Lead Engineer, Strategic Partnerships is an individual who operates at the intersection of deep technical fluency and strategic relationship-building. You will help build the architecture of CFS' external innovation ecosystem: identifying, recruiting, and activating the world's best researchers, institutions, and programs to accelerate our roadmap and retire risk. You will represent CFS to National Laboratories, universities, government agencies, international fusion programs, and private partners — and you will bring those relationships to life as funded, milestone-driven technical collaborations that move the needle on the hardest, most consequential engineering problems in the world.
This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You will develop and directly collaborate with CFS and partner technical and business leads to drive programs forward, shape strategy and be in the room when CFS' most important external decisions get made. If you are someone who wants to be at the tip of the spear on a civilization-defining mission — and who has the technical depth, relationship instincts, and entrepreneurial drive to thrive there — we are building this role for you.
