Senior Product Manager (Combined Heat & Power)

At Antora, we're on a mission to stop climate change. And we can't do that unless we tackle the 30% of global emissions that come from industry.

Please read the information in this job post thoroughly to understand exactly what is expected of potential candidates.

Antora is unlocking zero-emissions industrial energy, cheaper than fossil fuels. Antora's thermal batteries store energy from renewables as heat for days on end, delivering that stored energy as heat and power at the scale and temperatures that large industrial operations demand.

We're on a path to eliminate gigatons of emissions while strengthening domestic manufacturing, curbing industrial air pollution, and enhancing America's clean energy leadership.

We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness.

We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, low-cost, zero-emissions energy.

Position Summary

We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to lead product strategy and commercialization efforts for Antora's Combined Heat and Power (CHP) product.

Building on the success of Antora's core thermal energy storage product, which Antora is currently manufacturing and selling, the CHP product will be Antora's second product to market.

Antora's CHP product integrates our world-record-setting thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology with our thermal energy storage technology to deliver a solution that will decarbonize both heat and power for industrial facilities across the globe.

Antora has demonstrated combined heat and power technology at our pilot site in Fresno, CA, and we are ready to develop and scale a commercial product.

In this key role on the Product Management team, you will work with Antora engineers and scientists as well as customers and partners to drive the CHP product from start to finish - setting the vision and guiding this product over multiple years through the full product lifecycle to successful market release.
