- Deep knowledge of root-cause methodologies (8D, 5-Why, fishbone) and failure analysis techniques
More about this role
Exowatt is revolutionizing the energy landscape for the AI era with our groundbreaking P3 system that captures solar energy, stores it as heat, and generates electricity on demand. Founded in 2023 and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sam Altman, and Felicis, we're committed to providing clean, modular, and scalable power that meets the rapidly growing demands of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to make sustainable renewable energy always available and almost free, enabling technological advancement while protecting our planet.
We're hiring a Reliability Engineer to own the long-term dependability of the P3 system in the field. You'll define reliability requirements, run life-test programs, analyze field failure data, and ensure every unit we ship meets the demanding uptime expectations of AI infrastructure customers. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone equally at home in a test lab, at a customer site, and deep in failure data.
This role is based in our Austin, TX facility. Relocation is required, and relocation assistance will be provided if necessary.
