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 Principal Magnet Cryogenics Engineer with over 10-15 years of industry experience to lead the complete program lifecycle—from concept through commissioning—of large-scale cabled High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnet systems for next-generation fusion reactors. In this role, you will hold end-to-end technical ownership for the cryogenic design, thermal-hydraulic modelling, forced-flow cooling distribution, and cryogenic integration of large-scale CICC (Cable-in-Conduit Conductor) or advanced stacked-tape HTS magnets. You will bridge megawatt scale cryogenic plant engineering with microscopic thermal-hydraulic magnet behaviour, leading multi-disciplinary teams through multi-million-dollar hardware deliverables.
