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 an 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.

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
Required Qualifications
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
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with high-voltage or high-power electrical systems
Exposure to renewable energy applications (solar inverters, BMS, grid interconnection)

Employer PERM history
No recent PERM filings on record
This employer's identity is verified, and no certified PERM case was found for it in FY2023, FY2024, FY2025.
Filing history reflects past employer behavior; it isn't a promise for this opening.
All open roles at ExowattHow Openbound evaluates sponsorship
Visa history uses official U.S. Department of Labor H-1B LCA disclosure data and USCIS H-1B petition history. Green card history uses DOL PERM disclosure data. Each is read for the employer as a whole, for roles like this one, and for this location, weighted toward the most recent fiscal years.
An employer is matched to its filing entities by verified legal name and reviewed aliases; a match is never made on a name resemblance alone. Where no verified entity can be matched, the page says so and draws no conclusion from the absence. 4 filing titles were examined for this employer.
What this posting states outranks history in both directions, and an employer's published policy outranks past filings. Filing history reflects past behavior; it is not a promise of sponsorship for this opening, and none of this is legal advice.
