Thea Energy is commercializing fusion energy through a novel stellarator design that uses computer-controlled planar coil arrays instead of complex modular magnets. The company is seeking experienced mechanical engineers to own the mechanical design and development of primary and secondary components and subsystems for its fusion systems.
In this role, you will be responsible for structural and thermomechanical design, manufacturability analysis, development, and commissioning of fusion components. Key responsibilities include:
- Design and develop primary and secondary mechanical fusion components and subsystems
- Produce mechanical engineering designs, drawings, specifications, and parameters from first principles with appropriate tolerances for vendor quoting and manufacturing
- Design tooling for assembly
- Perform thermal, structural, and electromagnetic analysis and simulation using Ansys and COMSOL
- Incorporate design for manufacturing principles and support first builds
- Support implementation of tooling and manufacturing processes
- Design and execute qualification testing
- Communicate and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders
