Strategic HR & Talent Acquisition Leader 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.
Key Responsibility Areas:
Rapidly design, build, and test HTS magnets
Develop specifications for magnets based on system design and performance goals
Optimize 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 similar
Incorporate design for manufacturing principles and support first builds
Produce design specifications and collaborate with vendors to get quotes and deliver hardware that meets qualifications
Support the implementation of tooling and manufacturing
Design and execute magnet testing
Track and report results and progress against program goals and milestones
Communicate and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders
Ideal Experience & Skillsets:
Experience with magnets, cryogenics, vacuum systems, or transformer design
Experience in design using CAD software (e.g. Solidworks, CATIA, NX, etc.)
Experience with Ansys and/or COMSOL
Experience specifying machining, welding, and fabrication requirements
Ability to work through and solve highly multidisciplinary engineering problems
Ability to take initiative, work independently and as part of a team
Ability to execute and flourish in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment
Comfortable working to aggressive deadlines
Exceptional work ethic
Strong team member with clear communication and collaboration skills
Innate desire to learn, innovate, and critique ideas including one’s own
At least a bachelor’s degree in physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials engineering, or related fields
Experience with magnetic confinement fusion, aerospace, medical devices, or other highly technical industries is ideal
