    Full time
    Description

    Company Background

    Oxford headquartered Tokamak Energy is widely recognised as a world-leader in high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnet, design, numerical modelling, and prototyping. This expertise was borne from our path towards commercial fusion energy in developing spherical tokamaks with high HTS magnets. We have pioneered these technologies since 2012, long before their importance was widely recognised.

    We believe that our HTS developments will usher in the high temperature superconductor era which will enable fusion for all and impact many other industries. Our new dedicated commercial HTS business unit, in collaboration with key manufacturing partners, is focussed on becoming the leading supplier of HTS magnets to multiple markets. We aim to provide magnet systems for other fusion companies to accelerate that industry, as well as to address exciting new applications for HTS, including propulsion in water, air and space, renewable energy and science.

    Tokamak Energy was founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the UK's Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and currently employs a growing team of over 250 people with experts from the UK and around the world. It combines world leading scientific, engineering, industrial and commercial capabilities. The company has 70 families of patent applications and has raised $250 million, comprising $200m from private investors and $50m from the UK and US governments. Our US subsidiary, Tokamak Energy Inc, was established in 2019.
