Manufacturing/NPI Engineer - Optics

About Exowatt

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. Founded in 2023 and backed by leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sam Altman, and Felicis, we're committed to providing clean, modular, and scalable power that meets the rapidly growing demands of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to make sustainable renewable energy always available and almost free, enabling technological advancement while protecting our planet.

We are seeking a Manufacturing/NPI Engineer focused on optics to take our precision optical components such as lenses, mirrors, coatings, and concentrator assemblies from engineering prototype to high-volume production. Optics sit at the heart of the P3 system: every watt we deliver starts with how precisely we capture and concentrate sunlight. You will own the manufacturing readiness of these components, working hands-on with design engineers, suppliers, and production teams to hit the quality, cost, and ramp targets that make our product possible at scale.

This position is based in Austin, TX, and requires relocation to Austin, TX if you are hired. We provide relocation assistance. Domestic and international travel to supplier and manufacturing sites is required when necessary.
