Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the design and development of electronics, power electronics, and embedded control hardware for power supply systems and data acquisition units. This includes schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and hardware bring-up for a fusion energy system.
Requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering with over 5 years of experience in embedded hardware design. Proficiency in Altium or OrCAD and hands-on experience with lab tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers is essential.
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.
Thea Energy is seeking a highly skilled Electronics Hardware Design Engineer to lead the design and development of electronics, power electronics, and embedded control hardware for the Power Supply Systems, and Data Acquisition Units for the Control System of the Eos Stellarator. This engineer will be responsible for creating high-performance, reliable electronics to interface between control firmware, power conversion hardware, and diagnostics subsystems.
The role includes schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, hardware bring-up, and cross-functional integration with power electronics, software, and system engineers. This is a hands-on, lab-focused role with a critical impact on the development of the control core of a fusion energy system.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded hardware design for power systems, control systems, or instrumentation.
• Expertise in:
o Analog and mixed-signal circuit design
o High-speed digital interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, RS-485, CAN, Aurora)
o Signal conditioning for sensors and actuators
• Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB layout tools: Altium Designer or OrCAD
• Hands-on experience with:
o Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters
o Board-level debugging, rework, and signal probing
• Strong understanding of PCB stackups, thermal design, creepage/clearance, and layout for high-current environments
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience working on control electronics for power supplies, motor drives, or magnet systems
• Knowledge of gate driver design, isolation techniques, and fail-safe circuitry
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC compliance standards and mitigation techniques
• Exposure to RTOS- or FPGA-based control systems and real-time embedded integration
Tools & Platforms:
• Design Software: Altium Designer, OrCAD, LTSpice, PLECS (for co-design)
• Lab Tools: Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers
• Interfaces: UART, SPI, I2C, RS-485, RS-232, CAN, FlexRay, Aurora, PWM, ADC/DAC
It’s not necessary to meet all of the skillsets outlined above. Please feel free to send us a note and tell us why you would still be a great fit for this role or Thea Energy.

Breakthrough fusion technology designed for operation and scale.
Thea Energy is building an economical and scalable fusion energy system utilizing arrays of mass-manufacturable magnets and dynamic software controls. Commercial fusion energy can uniquely provide a limitless source of zero-emission power for a sustainable future. Thea Energy is leveraging recent breakthroughs in computation and controls to reinvent the stellarator, a scientifically mature form of magnetic fusion technology. Thea Energy was founded in 2022 as a spin-out of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Princeton University, where the stellarator was originally invented. Thea Energy is currently designing its first integrated fusion system, Eos, based on its planar coil stellarator architecture which will produce fusion neutrons at scale and in steady state.
