Local power generation for data centers, utilities, industrial & enterprise applications. Fuel-flexible, fast to deploy, high-efficiency, low NOx power. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
Our Linear Generator is a sophisticated system integrating a wide range of engineering disciplines, including thermodynamics, mechanical, electrical, software, and controls. To support our rapid transition into volume manufacturing we are actively expanding the scope and size of our Failure Analysis team.
What they're looking for
- You thrive at the intersection of electrical hardware and physics. You love getting your hands on in the lab, tracing signals, and finding the needle in a haystack within complex electrical architectures
- You are fascinated by environmental and system interactions. The challenge of understanding how EMC/EMI issues, thermal cycling, moisture, and harsh operating environments interact with complex power electronics excites you
- You are a master of structured problem-solving. You don't rely on guesswork, you systematically approach failures using data and frameworks to build an ironclad case for root cause analysis
- You thrive in dynamic, cross-disciplinary environments. You enjoy working side-by-side with cross-functional teams, seamlessly closing gaps to solve multi-faceted system issues
- You are an impactful communicator. You can translate complex, highly technical electrical failure mechanisms into clear, concise, and actionable insights for both technical peers and executive stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline required
