About Thea Energy: 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.
Position Overview: Thea Energy is seeking experienced, highly motivated magnet engineers to join its rapidly growing team. The magnet engineering roles will design, build, and test high temperature superconducting ("HTS") magnets. HTS magnets are foundational components of Thea Energy's planar coil stellarator, making compact, simpler, and lower-cost fusion systems possible. As part of a rapidly growing team, you'll be part of the organizational build-up of a leading fusion energy company. These roles will have a high degree of autonomy and must be able to move quickly. The Thea Energy team is comprised of self-motivated, creative, and fun individuals with an excitement for solving complex problems.
\n Key Responsibility Areas:Rapidly design, build, and test HTS magnetsDevelop specifications for magnets based on system design and performance goalsOptimize magnet design and run analysis using Multiphysics simulation software (e.g. Ansys EM, Structure, COMSOL, etc.)Develop design tools, data analysis software, and algorithms using Python or similarIncorporate design for manufacturing principles and support first buildsProduce design specifications and collaborate with vendors to get quotes and deliver hardware that meets qualificationsSupport the implementation of tooling and manufacturingDesign and execute magnet testingTrack and report results and progress against program goals and milestonesCommunicate and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders Ideal Experience & Skillsets:Experience with magnets, cryogenics, vacuum systems, or transformer designExperience in design using CAD software (e.g. Solidworks, CATIA, NX, etc.)Experience with Ansys and/or COMSOLExperience specifying machining, welding, and fabrication requirementsAbility to work through and solve highly multidisciplinary engineering problemsAbility to take initiative, work independently and as part of a teamAbility to execute and flourish in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environmentComfortable working to aggressive deadlinesExceptional work ethic Strong team member with clear communication and collaboration skillsInnate desire to learn, innovate, and critique ideas including one's ownAt least a bachelor's degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, or related fieldsExperience with magnetic confinement fusion, aerospace, medical devices, or other highly technical industries is ideal Company Benefits:Competitive salaryComprehensive health benefits (e.g. medical/dental/vision)Employee equity stock optionsOpen vacation policiesWork-life balance
