Our Game Plan

Are you hyped about solving humanity’s 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, we’re 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 - it’s a pure engineering challenge. We’ve completed key validation steps and are moving fast toward prototyping and proof-of-concept testing.

We’ve spent the past months validating the opportunity and developing a playbook to build one of the world’s most ambitious geothermal companies. Now, we’re assembling a world-class team of curious, collaborative and ambitious builders - and we’re looking for a high voltage electrical engineer to help us develop the pulse power systems at the heart of our technology.

Tasks

What you’ll be working on

Design and develop our high-voltage pulse delivery system (50–500 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 we’ll build, not just what we’ll 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

Ready to help unlock geothermal energy, everywhere?

Tell us how you’d push the frontiers of deep geothermal drilling - and let’s drill deeper than anyone ever has.
