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.

Thea Energy is seeking a Power Electronics Engineer to design and develop the HTS magnet power supply systems for the company’s Eos integrated stellarator. This role focuses on building a high‑current AC‑DC converter for HTS magnets, requiring precision current regulation, high reliability, and scalable architecture.

This role will be responsible for power stage design, topology selection, control algorithm interface, and protection systems, as well as thermal and mechanical integration. This is a high‑impact engineering role with hands‑on prototyping, testbed validation, and cross‑functional collaboration with embedded systems and instrumentation teams.

As part of a rapidly growing team, you’ll be part of the organizational build‑up of a leading fusion energy company. The Thea Energy team is comprised of self‑motivated, creative, and fun individuals with an excitement for solving complex problems.

Design modular power converters with potential for arrayed operation and independent control.

Design thermal management systems, including heat sink layout, forced air/water cooling, and temperature monitoring for continuous operation.

Design PCB layout and support mechanical integration, cabling, and in‑house assembly.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.

5+ years of hands‑on experience designing and testing power converters, preferably in high‑current or magnet power supply applications.

Experience with magnet power supplies, fusion, accelerator, or industrial high‑current systems.

Experience with thermal design and integration of cooling solutions in power electronics.

Exposure to EMI/EMC mitigation strategies and compliance testing.

Familiarity with FPGA‑ or DSP‑based digital control systems.

CAD: Altium Designer, OrCAD.

Oscilloscopes, Power Analyzers, Electronic Loads.

Flotherm, SolidWorks for mechanical integration.

Comprehensive health benefits (e.g. medical/dental/vision)

Employee equity stock options

Ability to perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time.

Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on‑call.

Ability to work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics.
