Electrical Engineer, Quantum Energy Systems

Pronoia•Torrance, CA

42d•Onsite

About The Position

Pronoia Energy is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design the circuitry that transforms their novel quantum energy material into a usable device. This is a hands-on role in a startup environment where the engineer's work will directly shape the future of energy. The role involves designing and optimizing power electronics, charging and discharging circuits, sensing systems, and battery management electronics. The engineer will be responsible for handling high currents, voltages, and heat associated with fast charging and high energy density, ensuring safety and reliability. They will collaborate closely with the Principal Electrical Engineer and cross-functional teams in materials, cell, and physics, participating in a fast prototyping loop. This role is based onsite in Torrance, California.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with demonstrated power-electronics or battery-management design that shipped in real hardware, not only simulation.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
Strong expertise in analog and digital circuit design and power electronics for high-voltage or high-current applications.
Fluency in thermal management, with the instinct that fast charging means heat first.
Hands-on experience with high-precision measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and precision power supplies.
Comfort working in a lab around live, energetic cells, and a builder's temperament suited to a small, fast-moving team.

Nice To Haves

Experience in EV, aerospace, or battery-pack power systems.
Experience designing for high charge rates and high current density.
Programming and automation skills (Python, C++) for test-bench operation and data acquisition.
Prior work in deep tech R&D alongside interdisciplinary teams in physics or materials science.

Responsibilities

Design and build power-electronics circuits for charging, discharging, and power conversion around our quantum energy storage material.
Develop the battery management system, in hardware and supporting software, that keeps cells safe, balanced, and within their limits.
Build the sensing and measurement instrumentation that characterizes cell behavior on the bench and in test rigs.
Own thermal management at the circuit level, treating fast charging as fundamentally a heat problem.
Collaborate with the cell, embedded, and science teams to refine specifications and iterate toward each functional prototype.
Contribute to troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and intellectual property development for novel circuit architectures.
