Manufacturing Engineering Intern

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. 

Key Responsibility Areas:
•    Assist in generating and updating manufacturing documentation, including standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and quality criteria for HTS magnet assembly.
•    Support design, prototyping, and commissioning of custom manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and equipment.
•    Work alongside magnet designers and manufacturing engineers to incorporate "lessons learned" from the shop floor into future designs.
•    Manage virtual and physical inventory, organize assembly areas, and update manufacturing Bills of Materials (BOMs).
•    Assist hardware procurement, evaluating vendor specs, and ensuring incoming parts meet quality standards.
•    Track production metrics, test results, and progress against critical program milestones.
