About the Company
This San Diego-based climate-tech startup builds thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems for energy-intensive industries, letting operators shift power usage to cheaper windows and electrify high-temperature industrial heat at a cost edge over fossil fuels. The system delivers a continuous stream of combustion-free, high-temperature air up to 1,200°C. Backed by major climate and energy venture investors.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a safety-focused Electronics Technician to assemble, test, troubleshoot, and maintain complex electronic systems, with particular emphasis on high-power and high-voltage equipment. You'll partner closely with the engineering team to keep high-voltage components, power supplies, inverters, and industrial control systems running safely and reliably.
What You'll Do
Run routine and advanced testing, calibration, and validation on high-power electronics and high-voltage circuitry
Diagnose failures down to the component level across power electronics, switchgear, transformers, motor drives, and energy storage systems
Read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical blueprints to assemble and install high-voltage panels and subsystems
Follow electrical safety protocols closely, including LOTO procedures, arc flash safety, and NFPA 70E standards
Carry out preventative and corrective maintenance on high-voltage test fixtures and production equipment to reduce downtime
Keep detailed logs of test data, repair history, and equipment performance; write up technical reports on failure analysis
Work alongside electrical and mechanical engineers to prototype new power systems and suggest design improvements based on field testing
Physical Requirements
Mix of desk-based documentation work and hands-on lab/test time
Able to lift/carry up to 50 lbs. (team lift or mechanical assist for heavier loads)
Strong hand dexterity for assembly, instrumentation hookup, and equipment operation
Sharp visual acuity for reading drawings and spotting dimensional/surface issues
Comfortable in required PPE (safety glasses, heat-resistant gloves, safety shoes, etc.) in high-heat lab/shop settings
Solid understanding of lab/shop safety practices — hazard recognition around xxzpjkt high-temp equipment, energized systems, and fabrication machinery
Minimal travel (under 5%) for occasional tool/material pickup
What Success Looks Like Here
You communicate directly and proactively, without needing to be chased for updates
You jump in wherever help is needed — debugging with a teammate, lending a hand in the shop, flagging issues outside your lane
You're curious about the whole system — chemistry, mechanical engineering, power electronics, software — not just your piece of it
You weigh cost and timeline alongside technical quality in your decisions
You can move forward without a fully built playbook, and know when to ask versus decide
You own your outcomes, misses included, and focus on fixing and learning rather than explaining
