Job Description

Antora builds and deploys thermal energy storage to power always-on industrial operations and data centers with low-cost energy. Factory-built in California, Antora’s thermal batteries deliver reliable and cost-effective heat and power for industrial loads of any size. Antora is electrifying global industry while supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs, lowering costs for energy consumers, and enhancing the competitiveness of American industry.

We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness. We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.

About The Role

Antora is seeking an exceptionally driven Electrical Engineering Manager / Architect to lead the team designing the next generation of Antora’s thermal energy storage products. This role combines people leadership with deep technical ownership of high-voltage, high-power electrical system architecture spanning both product and plant-level systems.

You will guide a team of engineers through the full product lifecycle, from architecture definition and trade studies through detailed design, prototyping, validation, manufacturing, and field deployment. Your work will directly shape the commercialization of a first-of-a-kind long-duration energy storage technology.

This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in first-principles engineering, moves comfortably between whiteboard strategy and hardware reality, and knows how to build teams, systems, and processes that scale. You’ll also help the organization apply modern engineering tools, including simulation, automation, and AI-enabled workflows where useful - to move faster, make better decisions, and keep the bar high for technical rigor.

What You'll Do

Lead and grow the team: Hire, mentor, and manage a high-performing electrical engineering team, providing technical direction, design reviews, and coaching to support strong execution and long-term team development.
Own system architecture: Define and drive the electrical architecture for both Antora’s thermal battery modules and plant-level electrical systems.
Drive hardware development: Lead development of high-power, high-current electrical heating and power systems from early concept through detailed design, validation, site deployment, and operational support.
Advance R&D and innovation: Evaluate power delivery approaches, including AC and DC system architectures, to optimize for performance, efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with mechanical, reliability, software, procurement, manufacturing, and project execution teams to ensure cohesive system development and successful program delivery.
Ensure compliance and quality: Oversee electrical code compliance and standards alignment, including UL and NEC requirements, while maintaining a high bar for safety, reliability, and regulatory readiness.
Build engineering systems: Establish and reinforce strong engineering practices, documentation standards, simulation and review workflows, and effective development processes that improve team efficiency and design quality.
Shape how we work: Help the team thoughtfully incorporate modern tools, including AI-assisted analysis, documentation, and engineering workflows, in ways that accelerate execution without compromising judgment or rigor.

What We're Looking For

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
10+ years of relevant experience, including a strong track record leading electrical engineering teams responsible for grid-scale or industrial power systems
Deep first-principles engineering mindset, with a relentless drive to increase performance and reduce cost<
