About Ambrosia Energy
Ambrosia Energy is on a mission to make solar + battery systems the fastest-to-deploy and most cost-effective energy source in the US and beyond. 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.
We 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.
We are seeking a skilled Firmware Engineer to develop embedded software for digitally controlled DC-DC, AC-DC, and bidirectional power converters used in our distributed battery storage system paired with solar generation. The ideal candidate will work closely with power electronics, systems, and test engineers to develop robust, efficient, and reliable firmware that supports high-performance power conversion and scalable product development.
