Senior Electrical Engineer
Exowatt
Modular full-stack renewable energy for businesses
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 looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of the electrical systems that make our technology work from power conversion and controls to instrumentation and grid interconnection. This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on technical execution. You'll own discrete electrical designs and sub-systems, work closely with senior engineers on broader architecture decisions, and partner across mechanical, controls, and systems teams to bring our product to life.
This role is based at our facility in Austin, TX. If selected for the role relocation is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.
Design and develop electrical components and sub-systems for thermal battery and power dispatch applications
Create schematics, PCB layouts, and technical specifications under the guidance of senior engineers and system architects
Perform electrical analysis, simulation, and validation testing on assigned designs
Contribute to the design of power electronics, control circuits, instrumentation, and protection systems
Work closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineering teammates to integrate electrical designs into the broader product
Troubleshoot electrical issues during prototype builds, bench testing, and field deployments
Evaluate components and vendor technologies; make recommendations on part selection
Ensure designs meet applicable safety standards, regulatory requirements, and internal performance targets
Document designs, test procedures, and technical findings clearly
Support prototype builds, bring-up, and field testing activities
Keep current on developments in power electronics, grid integration, and renewable energy systems
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
3+ years of electrical engineering experience, ideally with exposure to power systems or power electronics
Working knowledge of power electronics, circuit design, and control systems
Proficiency with electrical design tools (Altium, EAGLE, KiCad, or similar)
Familiarity with simulation tools (SPICE, MATLAB, or similar)
Understanding of relevant standards (NEC, UL, IEC, IEEE)
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Clear technical documentation and communication
Experience with high-voltage or high-power electrical systems
Exposure to renewable energy applications (solar inverters, BMS, grid interconnection)
Hands-on prototype and field-testing experience
Exowatt designs, installs, and maintains modular full-stack renewable energy systems for commercial and industrial clients. Its products are customizable energy solutions built from modular components that can be designed to meet specific energy needs and regulatory requirements, then installed on-site and supported through ongoing maintenance. The company’s approach combines consulting, system design, installation, and long-term service into a single, integrated package, enabling a seamless transition to renewables. This end-to-end service helps clients scale energy capacity as needed and manage energy performance over time. Exowatt differentiates itself by offering a true full-stack, modular package that covers from initial assessment to ongoing upkeep, fostering long-term relationships rather than one-off projects. Its goal is to help businesses lower both their carbon footprint and energy costs by moving to renewable energy with adaptable, scalable systems.
