Job Description

Exowatt is revolutionizing the energy landscape for the AI era with our groundbreaking P3 system that captures solar energy, stores it as heat, and generates electricity on demand.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform MIG and TIG welding on carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum to print and to spec
  • Fabricate sheet metal and structural components — layout, cutting, forming, drilling, grinding, and finishing
  • Assemble mechanical parts and subassemblies from drawings, BOMs, and work instructions
  • Build electrical control boxes: panel layout, wire routing and termination, harness assembly, labeling, and continuity checks
  • Troubleshoot, service, and maintain shop and process equipment including vacuum pumps, chillers, compressors, and related systems
  • Use precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators) to verify work
  • Document build steps, record deviations, and feed issues back to engineering
  • Follow all safety, lockout/tagout, and PPE requirements

Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on technician, fabrication, or manufacturing experience
  • Demonstrated welding skill (MIG and/or TIG) with the ability to pass a weld test
  • Metal fabrication experience — comfortable with shears, brakes, saws, grinders, and drill presses
  • Ability to read and work from mechanical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams
  • Experience wiring low-voltage control panels and terminating conductors cleanly
  • Practical troubleshooting experience on rotating or pressure equipment (pumps, compressors, chillers, HVAC, or similar)
  • Able to lift 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and work in a shop environment
  • Legally authorized to work in the United States
  • AWS welding certification (D1.1, D17.1, or equivalent)
  • Experience in energy, aerospace, industrial equipment, or a similar low-volume/high-mix build environment
  • Familiarity with vacuum systems, thermal systems, or high-temperature components
  • Machining experience (lathe, mill) or CNC exposure
  • Experience with prototype or first-article builds where instructions are still being written
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30
  • Forklift or aerial lift certification
  • Bilingual English/Spanish
