Yotta Energy
Mechanical Engineer II
Austin, TX - Full Time
About Yotta Energy
At Yotta Energy, we're changing the way commercial buildings store and use energy. Our distributed energy storage technology is helping make renewable energy more reliable, efficient, and accessible. As we continue to grow, we're looking for talented engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, collaborating across disciplines, and building products that make a real difference.
If you're excited about working in a fast-paced environment where your ideas matter and your contributions have a direct impact, we'd love to meet you.
About the Role
As a Mechanical Engineer II, you'll play a key role in developing the mechanical hardware behind our energy storage products. You'll work on everything from early concepts and CAD modeling to prototype builds, testing, validation, and production release.
This is a hands-on engineering position where you'll spend time designing, building, testing, and refining products, not just sitting behind a computer. You'll collaborate closely with electrical, firmware, manufacturing, and operations teams to develop reliable, production ready designs.
Success in this role comes from being curious, adaptable, and willing to jump into new challenges. We're a growing company, so everyone contributes wherever needed, and your work will have a direct impact on the products we deliver.
