Additional Information

Our Game Plan Are you driven by understanding how the Earth actually behaves under extreme conditions? Do you believe the future of geothermal energy depends on mastering rock mechanics, stress, and fracture? At Telura, we're 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 today's 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 move from validation toward field-relevant testing, we're looking to connect with a mechanical design and/or stress engineer to help shape how our technology meets the Earth. Tasks What you'll be working on Architect, design and develop core mechanical subsystems for our drill bit and drilling system - from initial concept to market launch. Your input will shape the product for years to come. Conduct FEA-driven analysis to evaluate static loads, fatigue life, thermal-mechanical coupling, and failure modes under extreme conditions Build prototypes, support the definition of test infrastructure from scratch, and conduct testing and validation to progressively prove and de-risk our technology Integrate HV, thermal, and fluid systems into a robust drilling assembly 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.
