Electrical R&D Engineer

Thea Energy is leveraging recent breakthroughs in stellarator physics and engineering to create a faster and simpler approach to commercializing fusion energy. The company is reinventing the stellarator using computer-controlled arrays of planar coils thereby replacing the intricate, complex modular magnets required in all other stellarator architectures. Thea Energy is on a mission to create a limitless source of zero emission energy for a sustainable future. 

 

The Electrical R&D Engineer designs, builds, commissions, and supports electrical and power supply systems for Thea Energy's technology development programs. The work moves quickly from concept to hardware and includes prototype equipment, experimental test stands, and new electrical infrastructure for high-temperature superconducting magnet test facilities.

 

This position requires substantial hands-on experience with commercial off-the-shelf power supplies and with custom power supply system development. The engineer is expected to build hardware, measure its performance, diagnose faults, and revise designs rapidly as test requirements evolve. Close coordination with the controls team is essential because power commands, sensor feedback, protection functions, and operating sequences must work as one system.
