Position Overview:
Thea Energy is seeking a Sr. Plasma Control Engineer to develop and deploy novel plasma control algorithms for the Eos stellarator, with a strong emphasis on AI and ML assisted control, real-time state estimation, and digital twins. This role sits in the Electrical Engineering and Controls Systems (EECS) team and works day to day with plasma physics, diagnostics, and plant control engineers to bridge plasma physics objectives with plasma control and plant control implementation.
If you can develop plasma control algorithms that are robust, constraint-aware, and ready for experimental operation, covering scenario design, supervisory control, and closed-loop regulation of core profiles, edge and divertor regimes, and off-normal response, we would like to hear from you. You will also contribute to subsystem digital twins and data pipelines that enable model development, validation, and deployment.
