Antora Energy develops thermal battery systems that store energy as heat using solid carbon materials. The company provides energy storage solutions designed to supply industrial heat and power for manufacturing and other large-scale operations. Backed by Activate Venture Partners.
About the role
You will own the design, sourcing, and manufacturing of the structural and thermal hardware interfacing with Antora's thermophotovoltaic (TPV) modules. Our Heat-to-Power team builds TPV heat engines that convert stored high-temperature radiant heat into electricity, and we need an engineer who can turn our working TPV assembly into a product we can build reliably at low cost. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience, including hardware you carried from prototype into production
- Deep, practical knowledge of manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, extrusion, brazing, welding, and sheet metal, and of what drives cost, lead time, and yield
- Extensive direct work with machine shops, fabricators, and contract manufacturers: RFQs, supplier selection, first-article inspection, and resolving quality issues
- Expert at release-ready detailed drawings, including GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Proficient in 3D CAD and PDM/PLM release workflows
- Hands-on builder: comfortable assembling, fixturing, and testing prototypes yourself
More about this role
Antora Energy delivers affordable, reliable energy to industry, data centers, and the grid. Our thermal batteries turn low-cost electricity into always-on heat and power, without supply-constrained critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.
We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and work with humility and openness. We are committed to building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.

Our Heat-to-Power team builds TPV heat engines that convert stored high-temperature radiant heat into electricity, and we need an engineer who can turn our working TPV assembly into a product we can build reliably at low cost. Your first project is designing, prototyping, and testing our next-generation TPV assembly: large extruded cold plates with removable TPV modules on direct bonded copper (DBC) substrates. After that, you will carry each new generation of TPV hardware into production by building...
