Job description

About the company:

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, and a pilot system underway near Rock River, WY, we’re assembling a team to help bring this breakthrough technology to global scale.
