Cool Earth Solar

We Are Hiring the Best of the Best

Energy may be the biggest technological challenge of the 21st century. Here at Cool Earth, we believe solar energy will be a major part of the solution. We are looking for people with passion, drive, and initiative to join us in developing and building solar power plants based on our proprietary breakthrough technology. Our power plants will compete economically with conventional fossil fuels and provide clean, renewable energy powered by the biggest energy source in the Solar System—the Sun.

Experience and proven capability are important, but candidates must also be

We want the best of the best. We want people who will work hard, play hard, and do what it takes to meet and beat the energy challenge.

Compensation

Working for a worthwhile cause has its own rewards, but we also know it doesn't pay the rent. So, we offer competitive salaries and benefits, stock options, and cash bonuses. Please note that we may not have a gaming room or provide dry cleaning services, but we do offer something far more compelling: the priceless opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a developing technology and work in an industry that makes a difference.

Location

Cool Earth Solar is located in Livermore, California—the easternmost city of the San Francisco Bay Area. A technological hub for the region, Livermore is home to two Department of Energy national laboratories: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories/California. Besides being the oldest wine region of California, Livermore boasts miles of biking and hiking trails, as well as a vibrant cultural arts community. For more information, visit the official City of Livermore website.

When not scaling the business heights for Cool Earth Solar, Jesse can often be found rock climbing, competing in triathlons, or engaging in some serious pinball.


Current Openings

We hire engineers at all levels. Principal engineers should have exceptional expertise and experience in two or more of the following fields: machine design, electronics, mechanics, polymer applied science, optics, mass production, heat transfer, and/or solar cells. Senior, level 1, and level 2 engineers should be "best in class" types in at least one of the above fields. Applicants must be practical, creative, hands-on, hardware-loving engineers who are resourceful and tenacious. Most of our engineers have applicable degrees (master's degrees and above are usual for principal engineers), but there are no fixed requirements. Experience counts for a lot.



You will never have a better chance to change everything.
