Team lead of Power Electronics at nT-Tao Compact Fusion Power · Trevo
At nT-Tao, we are building a compact magnetic confinement fusion power system: a modular, repeatable unit designed to deliver clean electricity on-site, on- or off-grid.
Founded in 2019, nT-Tao raised $34 million to date from Honda, East X Ventures, Delek US, NextGear Ventures, and others. The Israel Innovation Authority has awarded us repeated grants, most recently to build our next compact fusion demonstrator.
We are looking for a hands-on team lead of Power Electronics to lead the design, development, integration, and commissioning of high-power and pulsed-power systems for our fusion platform and laboratory infrastructure.
The role combines deep technical ownership with team leadership. You will work closely with physicists, mechanical engineers, software engineers, lab teams, suppliers, and subcontractors to deliver reliable, scalable, and cost-effective power electronics solutions for demanding experimental and future commercial systems.
This role may also be a strong fit for an experienced senior engineer, technical lead, or project leader who has not yet held a formal team-lead position but has demonstrated technical leadership, ownership of complex projects, and the ability to guide and coordinate others.
Come help us make the world a better place.
We are looking for a motivated, self-driven, hands-on technical leader who wants to build practical fusion energy systems in a fast-moving startup environment. You do not need to meet 100% of the requirements; if you are excited by the mission and believe you can contribute, we encourage you to apply.
What you'll do
Lead the development and commissioning of multi-MW power electronics and pulsed-power generators driving tens of kA and kV through magnetic coils.
Lead and mentor the power electronics and electrical engineering team; define priorities, manage work plans, and report progress, risks, budgets, and timelines to R&D and company management.
Own the design, procurement, construction, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and optimization of power electronics hardware and supporting control, diagnostics, and automation software.
Design and optimize power conversion, charging, switching, energy-storage, inverter, driver, controller, and passive-component solutions.
Select components and architectures that support reliable, scalable, manufacturable, and cost-effective systems.
Collaborate with physics, mechanical engineering, software, and laboratory teams to support system integration, experimental operations, design reviews, and continuous upgrades.
