Files H-1B transfers

5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 10 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Reports To: Senior Director, Technical Programs
  • Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven sodium-ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with design engineers to ensure designs are practical in the field and support long-term service.
  • Troubleshoot field issues, run diagnostics, and feed structured learnings back into design and manufacturing.
  • Support the Project Development team during installation as needed or requested.
  • Build out preventative and reactive maintenance routines and procedures.
  • Maintain up-to-date service and troubleshooting manuals.
  • Maintain effective document change control across all cross-functional teams.
  • Build out a spare parts inventory management program, including maintaining and servicing stored parts and planning logistics to ensure parts availability.
  • Train field technicians and provide technical escalation support during deployments.

Nice to have

  • Contribute to service and maintenance planning for long-term fleet reliability.
  • Ensure field tooling meets all safety standards and provide feedback to the engineering team on usability and reliability improvements.
  • Strong hands-on electrical experience-background as an electrician, electrical technician, or test engineer preferred.

Company info

  • Peak Energy is the first American venture to advance globally proven sodium-ion battery systems as the storage standard for the new era of renewable energy on a resilient grid.
  • Sodium-ion is cheap, readily available, and safe - making it the leading contender in a rapidly evolving market.
  • Our leadership team is powered by decades of expertise in scaling gigawatt-level innovation at world-class companies such as Tesla, Northvolt, Apple, Powin, Enovix, Zipline, Solid Power, SunPower, and Fluence.
  • We are backed by strategic investment and product partners including TDK Ventures, Eclipse Ventures, and GM Ventures.
  • We recently announced America's first sodium-ion grid storage factory in Sacramento with production starting Q1 2027, and over $1B in signed customer commitments including Jupiter Power and Energy Vault.
  • About the Role - Field Engineer
  • The Field Engineer owns hands-on execution at the site level - installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting energy storage systems from first-of-a-kind pilots through scaled BESS deployments.
  • As Peak Energy scales from pilot to gigawatt-level deployment, we need engineers on the ground who can turn designs into working, serviceable systems and catch issues before they become field failures.
  • You'll work day-to-day alongside design engineers, the Project Engineering team, technicians, and contractors, feeding what you learn in the field back into better designs and repeatable processes.
  • You'll also interface directly with customers during commissioning and service events.
  • This role suits someone who's happiest with a multimeter in hand, values deep technical ownership over polish or hierarchy, and is energized by solving problems on-site rather than managing them from a distance.
  • (Responsibilities)
  • Site Execution & Design Feedback
  • Perform basic electrical calculations (current flow, voltage drop) to confirm safe, efficient site infrastructure.
  • Maintenance & Reliability Programs
  • Build the deployment playbook: procedures, troubleshooting guides, commissioning workflows, and service tools.
  • Documentation
  • Tooling, Inventory & Budget Management
  • Manage the budget for travel, tools, contracted services, and spare parts.
  • Training & Technical Support
