Director - Diagnostics

As Director - Diagnostics, you will lead the strategy, design, implementation, and operation of the plasma diagnostic suite for Thea Energy’s flagship fusion systems. In our planar coil stellarator architecture, real-time data is at the core of our dynamic control systems and AI digital twins. You will build and lead a world-class team of physicists and engineers tasked with measuring critical plasma parameters (temperature, density, confinement, magnetic topology, and impurities) to validate our physics models and feed our automated control loops.

This is a high-impact, leadership-level role requiring deep technical expertise in magnetic confinement fusion instrumentation, excellent team-building capabilities, and a collaborative mindset to interface with our magnet, materials, and AI software teams.
