Job Description
Our Game Plan
Are you hyped about solving humanitys energy problems Do you want to help unlock a limitless supply of clean energy Does delivering one of the biggest engineering feats in history and drilling deeper than anyone ever before sound like fun If so we have an incredible opportunity for you.
At Telura were developing a new kind of drilling system which uses ultra-high-voltage electro-impulses to fracture hard rock and access geothermal energy anywhere on Earth. The demand for clean energy is real and recent advancements in research prove that the physics checks out - its a pure engineering challenge. Weve completed key validation steps and are moving fast toward prototyping and proof-of-concept testing.
Weve spent the past months validating the opportunity and developing a playbook to build one of the worlds most ambitious geothermal companies. Now were assembling a world-class team of curious collaborative and ambitious builders - and were looking for a high voltage electrical engineer to help us develop the pulse power systems at the heart of our technology.
Tasks
What youll be working on
- Design and develop our high-voltage pulse delivery system (50500 kV range) - from concept to prototype to market-ready design
- Own the architecture of pulse generation switching and system-level integration
- Build and test prototypes of pulse circuits (e.g. Marx-type) at sub- and full-scale
- Define insulation strategies and HV safety across diverse environmental conditions
- Collaborate closely with mechanical and thermal teams to ensure integrated system performance
- Support design of test infrastructure and assist with validation campaigns under realistic conditions
- Set up and improve development processes with an eye on design manufacturing and future operations. Defining how well build not just what well build.
- Select and collaborate with external partners suppliers and research labs
- Work closely with the founders and product team on roadmap and technical direction
Requirements
What you should bring
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics - PhD ideal but not required
- 5 years (min) of professional experience with very high voltage systems (50kV-500kV)
- Proficient in HV circuit design switching devices capacitor banks insulation and pulse delivery
- Deep understanding of pulsed power systems and plasma discharge phenomena
- Able to recommend and help establish appropriate design and simulation toolsets
- Hands-on mentality: you enjoy building iterating and debugging high-energy hardware
- Structured and independent working style with a willingness to take ownership
- Comfortable working in a hybrid setup (remote on-site collaboration when needed) with potential to relocate to Munich in future
- Willingness to travel occasionally to partners suppliers and testing sites
- Ideally experience working in a start-up or dynamic development environment
Benefits
What we offer
- The opportunity to shape a company and the technology from the ground up - and get us moving along the road from lab to drilling the deepest holes on earth
- Significant responsibility and creative freedom from day one
- Direct collaboration with a founding team with nearly 30 years of experience in start-up scale-up and bringing world-changing deep-tech to life
- A key position with strong growth potential as the company scales
- A dynamic motivated team and an open low-hierarchy culture
- Flexible working hours modern tools and a space to bring your ideas to life
- Equity options (e.g. ESOP / VSOP) available and a company backed by a technical VC that believes in the technology and the vision
