Job Description
Lead steam turbine system definition, sizing, and trade studies for steam turbine islands and adjacent cycles, including sCO₂ and Brayton cycles where applicable.
Key Responsibilities
- Antora Energy is building thermal energy storage plants that deliver zero-carbon industrial heat and power at scale. We are looking for a Senior / Staff Turbomachinery Systems Engineer to lead the definition, integration, and execution of the power island across our heat-to-power and combined heat and power projects.
- As a key member of Antora’s engineering team, you will own steam turbine system architecture for heat-to-power and CHP applications, making cross-functional trade-off decisions across thermal, mechanical, process, electrical, and controls systems. Your work will directly influence plant cost, performance, reliability, operability, and execution risk.
- You will work closely with EPC partners, turbine OEMs, and internal engineering teams to translate project requirements into executable designs that meet Antora’s technical and commercial objectives. This role will shape projects from early concept development through execution, commissioning, operations, and future fleet optimization.
- We are also looking for someone who is excited to improve how engineering work gets done. You will help identify and apply AI-enabled tools and workflows to accelerate analysis, streamline technical evaluations, and increase team leverage across design, execution, and operations.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in mechanical, electrical, chemical, systems engineering, or a related technical field.
- 8+ years of professional experience in steam turbine systems design, architecture, integration, or major energy project execution.
- Proven ability to operate across multiple engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluids, and controls.
- Hands-on cycle modeling experience with Thermoflow, STEAM PRO, PEACE, Ebsilon, IPSEpro, or equivalent tools, including off-design and part-load analysis.
- Demonstrated experience leading technical interfaces with turbine OEMs, EPCs, or major equipment suppliers.
- Strong interest in using AI tools to improve engineering workflows, increase productivity, and strengthen technical decision-making.
- Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex issues from a first-principles perspective.
- Experience working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment with shifting priorities and high technical ambiguity.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders.
- Advanced degree, such as an MS or PhD, in a related engineering field.
- Experience with concentrated solar power technology, thermal cycles, heat transfer oils, or molten salt systems.
- Experience with high-temperature thermal systems, energy conversion, and power plant operations.
- Experience with industrial process systems, equipment, instrumentation, and controls.
- Familiarity with simulation and modeling tools such as Python, MATLAB, ChemCAD, HYSYS, or equivalent.
- Professional Engineer license.
