Job description

This position must be located at one of our two locations: Laramie, WY, USA, or Orange County, CA, USA. We offer relocation assistance, but are unable to sponsor visas at this time.

Company Description

Airloom Energy is building the next era of resilient, utility-scale power.

Our patented wind generation system replaces massive traditional turbines with a low-profile, roller-coaster-style track that uses small, adjustable wings to capture wind energy more efficiently and at lower cost, deployed in a fraction of the time. By dramatically reducing parts, mass, and construction timelines, Airloom is unlocking faster, more scalable clean energy access—designed to respect the land, the views, and the communities we serve.

With headquarters in Laramie, WY, a pilot system underway near Rock River, WY, and an office in Orange County, CA, we’re assembling a team to help bring this breakthrough technology to global scale.

Skills

• System Development: Design and develop electrical control systems for novel, lightweight wind turbine technology
• Software/Firmware Development: Develop and maintain C/C++ applications for real-time control, monitoring, and data acquisition, focusing on embedded systems
• Modeling & Simulation: Perform simulation and modeling of control algorithms
• Hardware Integration: Collaborate with mechanical and electrical teams to integrate sensors, actuators, and power electronics
• Testing and Validation: Develop test plans, conduct engineering tests on prototypes, and analyze data to validate performance

Role Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree
• Demonstrated capability with C/C++ programming for embedded and real-time systems
• Experience with motor controllers, generator controls, and power electronics is highly relevant.
• Familiarity with Simulation Tools like MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling software.
• Demonstrated vehicle-level and systems-level knowledge to confidently execute to plan but also fill in the gaps or solve complex issues in real time.

Role Responsibilities

• Conceptual Design: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative concepts and solutions
• Analysis: Conduct analyses to optimize designs and ensure performance
• Prototyping and Testing: Oversee the fabrication, planning, and testing of prototypes to validate design concepts and ensure functionality and performance.
• Manufacturing Support: Work closely with manufacturing engineers to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost effective
• Documentation: Develop comprehensive technical documentation, including design specifications, test reports, and engineering documentation
• Critical safety systems integration: Capability to integrate with safety critical systems by understanding failure modes, hazards analysis, and actions associated with real-time troubleshooting
