  • Thermal and mechanical design experience including CAD and GD&T skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Desirable

  • Experience with design of thermal and / or thermo-mechanical systems at industrial scale and high temperature environments
  • Demonstrated understanding of thermal and systems analysis including failure modes of electrical and thermo-mechanical systems
  • Experience building complex assemblies using mechanical design tools and CAD software as well manufacturing methods like machining, welding, etc

What the job involves

  • We are seeking an exceptionally driven and passionate individual to join our solid-state thermal battery engineering team
  • You will collaborate with internal & external engineering teams to scope, define, design, and model the thermo-mechanical design of the Antora thermal battery module components and sub-systems
  • You will be a key technical member of a cross-functional and rapidly growing organization
  • Your work will directly contribute to the demonstration of a first of a kind long-duration energy storage technology
  • In this role you will be responsible for driving systems design of the thermal energy storage modules and balance of plant equipment
  • Understanding of fundamental physical concepts around electrical systems design, heat and mass transfer at high temperatures along with ability to build comprehensive product models will be key to success in this role
  • Other important aspects include ability to incorporate first principles thinking with respect to system design, component designs, and techno-economic analysis of energy systems
  • In addition, the candidate will embody the Antora values, demonstrating teamwork, excellent communication, and excellence in engineering
  • Perform analytical calculations for thermal, electrical or mechanical components of the system design to determine performance and / or cost
  • Build system models to understand performance, techno-economics, and / or inter-disciplinary trades to inform product design
  • Perform technical analysis to deliver concept of hardware components, operations and standard operating models for the product including scheduled maintenance intervals
  • Work on development of system architectures that are based on first principles thinking and analysis
  • Work closely with product, supply chain, and manufacturing teams to develop an optimal product configuration that looks at the full product life-cycle from raw material to end of life requirements, including recycling, if any
  • Develop and maintain internal design practices and documentation on system design and modeling

Our take

The majority of businesses are enthusiastic to switch from fossil fuels to the sustainability of zero-carbon energy, but making the switch is not easy. Installing sustainable energy infrastructure into an industrial facility can be expensive, unreliable, and even dangerous, and such negative experiences make financial risks outweigh the potential benefits.

Antora Energy provides zero-carbon industrial heat and power, leveraging a thermal energy storage system to guarantee 100% uptime and heightened affordability. The company provides its technology in a modular format to facilitate its use at any business scale, whilst also designing it to have no thermal runaway or materials that present fire hazards.

The company shows great promise to tackle the problem surrounding industrial energy, and is supported by investors such as Bill Gates and Chris Sacca. Antora Energy have recently raised impressive funding and will be investing this into building out their first customer-sited projects and accelerate hiring.
