  • Proficiency with lab measurement tools, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and electronic loads.
  • Strong understanding of strict electrical safety standards, including LOTO protocols and NFPA 70E / NEC.
  • Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience operating in fusion, accelerator, or specialized industrial R&D environments.
  • Familiarity with high-voltage and medium-voltage distribution equipment (transformers, protective relays, switchgear).
  • Hands-on experience with PCB rework, fine-pitch soldering, and analog/mixed-signal circuit troubleshooting.
  • Familiarity with mechanical integration, including cable trays, conduit bending, heat sink layouts, and cooling solutions.
  • Tools & Platforms
  • Measurement & Lab Tools: Oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, signal generators, logic analyzers, and electronic loads.
  • Assembly Tools: Soldering stations, crimpers, wire strippers, and general hand/power tools for mechanical integration.
  • Documentation: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, JIRA, and familiarity with navigating CAD outputs (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN).
  • Company Benefits:

  • Salary range $
  • Comprehensive health benefits (e.g. medical/dental/vision)
  • Employee equity stock options
  • 20 days PTO
  • Requirements:

  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Ability to perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time.
  • Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call.
  • Ability to work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics.

  • 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.
