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.
