Job description

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.

The Thea Energy physics team performs cutting-edge research in the areas of stellarator optimization, toroidal plasma confinement, plasma divertor and edge physics, plasma-materials interactions, and fusion neutronics. Thea Energy is looking for motivated interns to work with Thea physicists on projects relevant to these topic areas.

  • Take ownership of a dedicated research project within one of our core physics areas, guided by a senior physicist mentor.
  • Conduct literature reviews to guide initial project specifications.
  • Run simulations or analyze data to inform Thea Energy's stellarator design.
  • Collaborate directly with cross-functional teams of mechanical and electrical engineers.
  • Support engineering design reviews by translating physics modeling and simulation results into specifications.
  • Utilize project management tools to track tasks and long-term research goals.
  • Present your findings and project outcomes to the broader technical team at the conclusion of the internship.
