Teams at Thea Energy

Designs, builds, commissions, and troubleshoots electrical infrastructure, commercial power supplies, custom power-conversion hardware, and test stands for high-current superconducting magnet and fusion-energy experiments. Responsibilities include prototyping, sensing, controls integration, EMI/EMC mitigation, documentation, supplier coordination, safety, and active test-campaign support. Requires hands-on electrical R&D experience, PCBA and Altium Designer proficiency, power-supply development expertise, and experience working with high-voltage, high-current, and energized equipment.

Develops PLC-based and hardwired safety, access, interlock, and protective shutdown systems for fusion energy facilities. Responsibilities include control architecture, functional safety implementation, electrical and PLC design, safety-rated hardware integration, requirements traceability, hazard reviews, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and supplier coordination. The role covers hazardous systems including high voltage, superconducting magnets, radiation equipment, cryogenics, and gases, while producing schematics, software, test documentation, and configuration records.

Define and lead the integrated control system architecture for a stellarator fusion pilot plant. Responsibilities include selecting real-time control, SCADA, networking, timing, and data-management technologies; developing specifications and interface documentation; coordinating plasma, power, cryogenic, vacuum, safety, diagnostic, and acquisition subsystems; and integrating predictive control and digital-twin capabilities. The role also supports design reviews, validation planning, systems engineering alignment, vendor coordination, and regulatory and reliability requirements.
