Thea Energy is building an economical and scalable fusion energy system utilizing arrays of mass manufacturable magnets and dynamic software controls. Backed by Prelude Ventures.
About the role
Thea Energy is seeking a seasoned Manufacturing Engineer III to join our rapidly growing team. In this role, you will lead the development, validation, and scale-up of advanced manufacturing processes, complex tooling, and specialized equipment required to build and test high-temperature superconducting ("HTS") magnets. As a senior technical contributor, you will play a key role in establishing the frameworks for manufacturing development as we develop and prototype our stellarator systems.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 7+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering experience
- Extensive experience building complex electro-mechanical assemblies and introducing first-of-a-kind hardware processes into full-scale production
- Proven background in advanced joining and metal fusion processes, including high-precision soldering, brazing, electron beam, or TIG welding
- Demonstrated success scaling low-volume development projects into continuous production environments utilizing PLM, MRP, and ERP software platforms
- Deep expertise in drafting and interpreting engineering drawings with comprehensive Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5
- Experience in magnetic confinement fusion, aerospace, medical devices, defense, or high-reliability advanced manufacturing sectors
