Who We Are:
PowerLight Technologies is the leading developer of safe, long-distance laser power beaming solutions to transmit kilowatt-level power remotely, making energy accessible to new and increasingly mobile distributed digital assets on and off planet Earth. Laser power beaming delivers energy to digital infrastructure, enabling power to be delivered when and where it is needed, including in hard-to-reach places or at high altitudes, with or without human access, and without the tether to today’s battery- and power-cord power distribution environment. At PowerLight Technologies we seek to hire contributors who exhibit three special traits: the hands-on skill to create hardware and software; a commitment to teamwork; and a track record of high achievement ideally with startup experience growing into a larger organization. The most successful members of our team exhibit all of these qualities, wrapped with genuine niceness and respect for others.
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 alongside like-minded innovators.
We hire professionals who know their craft; we look for those who can design boards, assemblies, optical chains, code, and processes with an eye toward successful, field-ready, secure, nicely documented products and systems. We also value academic chops, people who love embrace physics, analysis, and technical progress.
Our culture is one of urgency, accountability, teamwork, and a healthy sense of fun, along with a passion for science. We show up prepared, engage in healthy debate, embrace deadlines, and work hard to maintain a workplace environment that is energizing.
A career here means you will interact with the world's leading scientists, engineers, and builders. Join our team – bring your skills, experiences, and determination to make a difference. This is a unique opportunity for a skilled professional and thought leader to work in the emerging field of long-distance power beaming.
