About the role

We are a tight-knit team that cares deeply about our mission, our technology, and one another.
We work with humility, openness, technical rigor, and a bias toward action.
Use both quick-turn analytical methods, such as spreadsheets and hand calculations, and more rigorous model-based approaches when appropriate.

Antora Energy is building thermal energy storage systems that deliver zero-carbon industrial heat and power at scale.
Your work will directly support the testing, scale-up, and commercial deployment of Antora's novel solid-state thermal battery technology.
Define, develop, and own process engineering requirements and specifications for balance-of-plant systems, including heat and mass balances, Process Flow Diagrams, and Process & Instrumentation Diagrams.
Participate in process safety reviews, including PHAs, HAZOPs, HAZIDs, design reviews, and related risk assessment activities.
Support the development and selection of industrial mechanical equipment, including pressure vessels, pumps, heat exchangers, air coolers, fans, tanks, piping, valves, and related process systems.
Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluids, controls, operations, manufacturing, and project execution teams.
Support commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of Antora's thermal energy storage systems.
Experience developing or owning process engineering deliverables such as heat and mass balances, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and process design basis documents.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in chemical, mechanical, process, industrial, or a related engineering field.
Experience with industrial mechanical equipment, including pressure vessels, pumps, heat exchangers, air coolers, fans, tanks, piping, valves, and instrumentation.
Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to approach problems from a first-principles perspective.
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented startup environment.
Proven ability to operate across multiple engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluids, controls, and systems engineering.

Desired "Nice to have" but not required
Deep engineering experience and intuition in one or more of the following areas:
High-temperature thermal systems
Energy storage systems
Power generation or energy conversion systems
Molten salt systems
Industrial process systems
Heat transfer systems
