Technical Program Manager, CAD Configuration
At Antora, we’re on a mission to stop climate change. And we can’t do that unless we tackle the 30% of global emissions that come from industry.
Antora is unlocking zero-emissions industrial energy, cheaper than fossil fuels. Antora’s thermal batteries store energy from renewables as heat for days on end, delivering that stored energy as heat and power at the scale and temperatures that large industrial operations demand. We’re on a path to eliminate gigatons of emissions while strengthening domestic manufacturing, curbing industrial air pollution, and enhancing America’s clean energy leadership.
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, low-cost, zero-emissions energy.
We are seeking a self-driven and passionate individual to join our Product Development engineering team to deliver zero-carbon industrial heat and power with our novel solid state thermal battery. We are a tight-knit team that loves what we do. We strive to have an impact, working with humility and openness and building lifelong relationships along the way. You will collaborate within engineering and across other teams to define the product generation scope and changes across versions; verify intercompatibility across proposed subassembly changes and versions; and deliver and maintain part-level, sub-assembly, and product-level 3D CAD and drawings. In addition, you will help establish, maintain, and document our best practices for 3D parts and assemblies and for generating 2D drawings. Your work will directly contribute to the demonstration of a first of a kind long-duration energy storage technology.
