As global energy demand surges-driven by the rapid rise of data centers, electric vehicles, and future in-home robotics-the world stands at a critical energy inflection point. To meet this challenge, we need innovative, scalable power sources. Our engineering-led team, with expertise in designing and deploying satellite constellations (Swarm, Starlink Mobile), is now focused on energy on Earth. We're developing affordable, clean energy solutions with new battery storage systems. United by strong team camaraderie, we prioritize speed, rapid iteration, vertical integration, and a test-like-you-fly approach. We're committed to making an impact on the future of energy.\nWe are designing and developing a distributed battery storage system to pair with solar panels that are quick and easy to install. The system is simple, robust, reliable, and easy to manufacture at scale. The system will include highly efficient DC-DC conversion, solar MPPT, power distribution, no moving parts, and efficient cable management to make everything plug and play in the field.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the design, development, build, and implementation of custom equipment for testing battery components. This includes mechanical design, thermal system design.\n\nWork with a cross-discipline team including electrical, mechanical, controls and software engineers to develop integrated test systems.\n\nCollaborate with production personnel, engineering teams, and leadership to advance the factory as required to meet rate, development and reliability goals.\n\nSolve complex, open-ended problems with an emphasis on speed of execution and efficiency.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline.\n\nAt least 1 year of professional mechanical engineering experience following completion of degree.\n\nPreferred Skills or Experience\nExperience with CAD software design package (e.g. Solidworks, NX, CATIA, or ProE).\n\nExperience with custom machine design; electromechanical systems, motors, lifting/rigging, etc.\n\nExperience with manufacturing process development, facility/line layouts and common inspection methods.\n\nExperience with production tooling or product design in either prototype or high-volume environments.\n\nExperience designing mechanisms, welded structures and mass efficient structures.\n\nStrong understanding and application of drafting standards and GD&T (ASME Y14.5) in creating drawings.\n\nFamiliarity with mechanical engineering concepts, ability to read drawings.\n\nIn compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire. The company is unable to sponsor employment visas at this time.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2930,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Solar Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T12:03:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.216,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":109,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T01:51:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2744,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3793713},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3793713"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fambrosia-energy-mechanical-engineer"}]}
