Job Summary
Our Game Plan
Are you driven by turning breakthrough technology into real-world energy projects Do you want to help take deep geothermal from prototype to field deployment at scale
At Telura were developing the next-generation drilling system which uses ultra-high-voltage electro-impulses to fracture hard rock essentially destroying with lightning to enable economically viable drilling beyond todays hotspots and unlock affordable baseload energy anywhere. The physics is well understood but success depends on how this technology interacts with real subsurface conditions.
Founded in 2025 and based in Munich Telura is working closely with leading European universities is supported by SPRIND and has raised $5m to date from leading German investors.
As we build toward real-world deployment were looking to connect with a senior geothermal systems leader to help shape how our technology moves from lab to field.
Tasks
What you will do
- Provide system-level leadership across geothermal development concepts from drilling and well architecture through to field-scale deployment
- Help define how Teluras drilling technology integrates into real geothermal projects including implications for cost performance and reliability
- Take a leading role in shaping and supporting early field trials of Teluras drilling technology with selected partners and customers as well as planning and executing early customer trial projects including alignment on scope success criteria site constraints and operational readiness
- Advise on site selection well concepts and deployment strategies for pilot and demonstration projects
- Translate drilling and subsurface performance into project-level and techno-economic implications
- Act as a key interface between Teluras engineering team and the geothermal ecosystem (operators developers utilities regulators)
- Lead technical coordination with customers and partners through trial planning permitting approvals and site preparation in close collaboration with internal teams and support engagement with other strategic partners and research institutions
- Work closely with the founders and product team on roadmap priorities and long-term field strategy
Requirements
What we are looking for
- Senior experience in geothermal development subsurface energy or related deep subsurface domains
- Strong systems thinking across drilling reservoirs surface infrastructure and project development
- Experience engaging with or leading field trials pilot projects or early deployments
- Ability to work with evolving data uncertainty and early-stage technology
- Comfort operating at the intersection of engineering operations and strategy
- A collaborative mindset and interest in helping build something from the ground up
Benefits
What we offer
- The opportunity to shape how a breakthrough drilling technology is taken into the field
- Early influence on deployment strategy and customer-facing validation
- Flexible engagement model (full-time part-time or advisory)
- Direct collaboration with the founding team
- A key role in a company building one of the most ambitious geothermal platforms globally
- Equity participation aligned with long-term impact and commitment
- Equity participation aligned with long-term commitment and impact
- A modern office in the Munich Urban Colab embedded in an innovation ecosystem
- Accident insurance and supplementary company health insurance
- Company pension scheme
Ready to help unlock geothermal energy everywhere
Wed love to hear how youd help take a new drilling technology from prototype to the field.
