Ceramic Engineer (Cell and Stack Fabrication)
About The Position
Teragen Energy Corporation is revolutionizing how AI data centers and broader industries get powered by building the next generation solid oxide fuel cell platform. Rooted in technology developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and validated by ARPA-E, their mission is to deliver affordable, reliable, clean fuel cell power where it is needed the most to enable power security and flexibility for customers. Founded by technologists, scientists, and energy project developers, Teragen is a fast-paced deep-tech company moving from lab-scale prototypes towards commercial module design. This role is ideal for someone whose work can directly shape how power is generated in the 21st century, towards terawatt-hour scale.
Requirements
- BS or MS or PhD degree plus 2-6+ years of experience in ceramic engineering, material process engineering or SOFC fabrication.
- Exceptional candidates at any level are encouraged to apply — hands-on, self-motivated, and curiosity an absolute must.
- Experience with ceramic processing such as tape casting, screen printing, slurry formulation, sintering, extrusion, or related manufacturing techniques.
- A true maker mentality; you'd rather build something, learn from it, and iterate than spend weeks debating the perfect approach.
- Curiosity and initiative. You naturally identify problems, propose ideas, and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
- Strong experimental discipline. You understand that today's experiment becomes tomorrow's manufacturing process.
- Collaborative by nature. You enjoy working closely with teammates, sharing ideas, and solving problems together rather than working in isolation.
Responsibilities
- Help develop and drive fabrication of Teragen's advanced SOFC cells, including powder and ink formulation, forming, coating, and sintering.
- Develop, test, and scale manufacturing processes that improve performance, repeatability, and yield.
- Work alongside the Materials Engineer to invent and refine seal, interconnect, and interface materials for next-generation stacks.
- Build processes that work every time and document them so the entire team can build on your work.
- Help transition fabrication from research methods to robust, scalable manufacturing.
Benefits
- Competitive Employee Equity Grant
- 100% coverage for healthcare insurance for employees
- Unlimited time off program
- Eligibility for 401(k) plan
