Brief Role:
We are looking for a Sr. Thermal Design Engineer who thrives in challenging environments and can lead the development of ultra-high-temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems—powering the next generation of clean energy solutions.
Experience: 7–12 years
Qualification: PhD / M.Tech / B.Tech in Thermal Engineering or equivalent
Key Competencies:
- Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and materials science, particularly in high-temperature environments.
- Proven experience in designing efficient mechanisms for heat flow and retention.
- Hands-on experience with thermal simulation software and modeling tools (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS, or equivalent).
- Familiarity with heating methods such as resistive heating, inductive heating, or other industrial heat sources.
- Experience working with high-temperature materials and understanding their performance under extreme conditions.
- Ability to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including R&D, manufacturing, and external partners.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Design and develop thermal energy storage systems, with a focus on high-temperature applications.
- Work with the engineering team to create scalable, cost-effective thermal storage solutions.
- Develop thermal models and simulations to optimize heat retention, energy conversion, and system efficiency.
- Design and integrate heating mechanisms (resistive heating, inductive heating, etc.) for efficient energy transfer with minimal losses.
- Collaborate with R&D and manufacturing teams to prototype and validate designs.
- Conduct parametric studies and benchmark performance against existing solutions.
- Ensure designs comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and environmental requirements.
What you’ll get:
- Industry-beating salary (top 1%)
- Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) → real ownership in a $100B global market
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Performance Bonus
- A mission-driven, flat, fast-moving culture where every voice matters
About Us:
At Voltanova, we are building the world’s lowest-cost, long-duration thermal energy storage system—engineered to deliver heat and power at up to 2000°C and enable 24/7 decarbonization of heavy industry. For centuries, industries have depended on fossil fuels. We’re changing that by providing round-the-clock green energy at a cost lower than fossil fuels, making the shift to renewables not only sustainable but also highly profitable. Our mission is to eliminate gigatons of industrial emissions through breakthrough storage technology that delivers high-temperature heat and power, helping industries transition seamlessly to a carbon-free future.
