We Are Hiring!
PowerLight Technologies
Are You Interested To Learn More About Joining Our Team?
Who We Are:
PowerLight was co-founded by our CTO, Tom Nugent, and Dr. Jordin T. Kare to change how the world distributes power. Out team has set numerous world records for beaming power over light, and won two NASA project awards. We are the first to develop a viable technology platform that demonstrates the safe long-distance delivery of electric power, and we’re now developing products to meet the Kilowatts over Kilometers® needs of multiple industries looking beyond 19th century copper wire solutions.
At PowerLight Technologies, we look for people who have three distinct characteristics: they are humble, hungry, and smart (not just in their area of expertise, but in common sense about people). All of these attributes are exhibited by the most successful members of our team, wrapped in real niceness and regard for others.
We value academic chops (especially for this position), people who are unfazed by equations, analysis, technical papers, and mastering something completely new. Our culture is one of urgency, accountability, and teamwork, with a healthy sense of fun and a passion for science. We show up prepared, engage in healthy debate, embrace deadlines, and make sure that our workplace feels energizing.
We hire hands-on tinkerers who love to make things work, and we give them a fantastic lab in which to explore ideas. In some cases, our technical contributors have previously invented products and have even launched their own successful companies. Successful team members are undeterred by extremely challenging, first-of-their-kind problems to solve. They experiment, fail-and-learn quickly, and lock in the mastery of their explorations.
We hire professionals who know their craft: those that can design boards, assemblies, optical chains, code and processes with an eye toward successful, field-ready, nicely documented products and systems.
PowerLight is building laser power beaming solutions to transform the way energy is delivered. From the depths of the ocean to craters on the moon, our team of applied scientists, engineers, and technicians are bringing science fiction to reality.
A career here means you will interact with the world's leading experts in laser power beaming. Join our team – bring your skills, experiences, and determination – to help us “make a dent in the universe.” Together we'll revolutionize energy distribution.
What you’ll do:
We are always looking for talented, humble and hungry teammates. Our mission is such that it requires us to always keep our eyes open for our next team member so we are happy to share and answer any questions. We are actively looking for people with technical and project/program management skills.
Education:
- Our teammates run the gamut when it comes to their educational background. Again, it is more about the work and our mutual fit!
About your approach to people:
- We want those who will make strong and effective connections with their teammates
- We want you to have a focus on improving yourself, not proving yourself
- Above all, be curious!
