Role summary

Overview Energy is building a novel space-based solar energy infrastructure. This role seeks builders comfortable at the intersection of physics, engineering, manufacturing, and execution. Candidates should be energized by difficult, unprecedented engineering challenges, possess strong technical rigor, and demonstrate a commitment to first principles thinking, rapid iteration, and evidence-based progress. The company values curiosity, excellence, systems thinking, experimentation, and deep collaboration, seeking individuals who can envision and create future energy solutions.

As civilization electrifies, energy demand will continue to outpace the deployment of terrestrial infrastructure required to deliver it. Space solar energy has the potential to decouple energy generation from geography, weather, and traditional transmission constraints, creating an entirely new layer of global energy infrastructure.

Overview Energy is building that new layer: satellites that redirect solar energy from geosynchronous orbit to existing terrestrial solar projects using passively safe near-infrared light.

Building a system that has never existed requires people who are comfortable working where physics, engineering, manufacturing, and execution meet. It requires builders who are energized by difficult problems, move comfortably across disciplines, and measure progress by evidence.

Who Thrives Here

We look for people who:

  • Think from first principles.

  • Prefer difficult engineering problems over familiar ones.

  • Build, test, iterate, and learn quickly.

  • Care deeply about craftsmanship and technical rigor.

  • Take ownership beyond the boundaries of a job description.

  • Are excited by the opportunity to create something that has never been built before.

What We Value

  • Curiosity over credentials

  • Excellence over perfection

  • Systems thinking

  • Relentless experimentation

  • Deep collaboration

Great companies are often built by people who weren't waiting for the perfect job posting. We're always looking for builders who see the future before it exists - and have the determination to help create it. If that’s you, share your resume with us and we’ll be in touch when the time is right.
