Experimental Physicist, Quantum Energy Systems

Pronoia Energy is a pioneering deep tech startup at the forefront of quantum energy storage innovation. As a lean, mission-driven team, we thrive on rapid prototyping, cross-disciplinary collaboration and solving complex engineering challenges to turn quantum physics into practical, scalable products. Our current focus is on developing our groundbreaking room-temperature macroscopic quantum energy storage technology that promises orders of magnitude greater energy density, faster charging, and higher power delivery as well as being cheaper and safer compared to existing battery technology. This represents a paradigm shift in energy storage with applications spanning consumer electronics, electric vehicles, renewable grids, and beyond.

To meet our ambitious goals we are hiring an Experimental Physicist to design, build, and run the experiments that test our core scientific claims. This is the empirical conscience of the company, a high-stakes, high-reward role where you measure whether the physics actually works in the real world. In this role you will stand up the measurement rigs, characterize how our materials and cells behave under real conditions, build the instrumentation, and produce the ground-truth data that everything else, from our simulations to our internal verification to the claims we make to the world, must answer to. You will work shoulder to shoulder with our computational and theory teams in a tight predict, measure, learn loop. This role is onsite in Torrance, California.
