Director - Systems Engineering

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 Director - Systems Engineering who will be responsible for the systems engineering of the company’s integrated fusion systems and prototypes. In this role, you will lead an interdisciplinary team to integrate first-of-a-kind technologies into a scalable fusion power plant architecture.

You will also be responsible for ensuring that all applicable Company engineering disciplines are integrated across workflows, requirements, interfaces, and standards. You will lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of systems engineers, and foster a collaborative and innovative work environment capable of solving the complexities of fusion energy.

The ideal candidate is a high-autonomy leader who can move quickly to scale a leading team and implement the rigorous systems engineering frameworks required to commercialize fusion energy at scale. You will serve as a mentor, a strategist, and the primary advocate for systems-level thinking across the entire organization.
