Thea Energy
Overview
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.
Position Overview We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Finite Element Analyst to join our rapidly growing team. In this pivotal role, you'll be instrumental in performing advanced analysis to design, optimize, and verify the thermal, structural, and magnetic requirements of our cutting-edge stellarator systems. If you have at least 8 years of professional experience and a strong background in mechanical engineering, applied mechanics, materials, and simulation, you’ll be well-positioned to deliver insightful results, provide data-driven recommendations, and justify critical design decisions.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and analyze complex finite element models to support design of major stellarator systems and prototyping activities.
Perform multi-domain simulations, including thermal, mechanical, vibration, and magnetic loads.
Conduct steady state and transient analyses with accurate material models to evaluate designs for stress/strain, fatigue, and creep during start-up, steady-state operation, shut down, and off-nominal operating conditions.
Optimize structural designs to minimize weight and maximize maintainability.
Drive design improvements by identifying opportunities for higher performance, lower cost, and better maintainability.
Develop material models and identify required property development to ensure accurate analysis.
Qualifications
8+ years of experience performing finite element analysis with commercial software.
Demonstrated experience solving complex engineering problems and identifying root causes through meticulous analysis.
Proven experience developing first-of-its-kind components or systems.
Comfortable working to aggressive deadlines with an exceptional work ethic.
Strong team player with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Desire to learn, innovate, and critically evaluate ideas, including your own.
Experience with cryogenic behavior of materials.
Experience evaluating welds using finite element analysis.
Company Benefits
Salary range $110,000 - $190,000.
Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision).
Employee equity stock options.
20 days PTO.
Diversity and Inclusion Thea Energy is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a company of diverse backgrounds. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, family or marital status, age, disability, veteran’s status, or other characteristic protected by applicable laws and regulations.
