Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will build and maintain prototype powertrains, test benches, and lab infrastructure to support engineering validation. You are responsible for keeping the lab organized, safe, and fully operational to ensure engineering workflows remain efficient.
Candidates should have hands-on experience in technical environments such as automotive, aerospace, or robotics labs. Proficiency with mechanical assembly, engineering documentation, and lab equipment maintenance is essential.
Power conversion is the bottleneck between the compute, energy, and mobility industries and the future they're trying to build. Most of the industry is still solving it with decades-old approaches. Tau is fixing that. We're a venture-backed hardtech company in Redwood City, building power conversion technology for data centers, EVs, and energy systems. Several products are already moving into production.
We hire people who own problems end-to-end: power electronics, embedded software, controls, test and validation, mechanical design. We solve from first principles, not legacy playbooks. We're past "promising technology." Customers are buying, volume is coming, and the people who join now set the standard everyone builds on after.
You genuinely like being useful in the moment something is needed, not after. You move between building, fixing, organizing, and troubleshooting without losing the thread on any of them. Context-switching doesn't drain you, it's part of what makes the job interesting.
You take pride in things being right: the torque spec followed, the bench wired cleanly, the inventory actually matching what's on the shelf. You raise the standard for the people around you, and you fix what's broken instead of waiting for it to be someone else's job.
You reprioritize when requirements shift, without losing momentum. Ambiguity about what's next doesn't bother you, and you enjoy finding the highest-leverage thing and doing it.
Solve customer problems, not engineering puzzles. Great technical work becomes exceptional when it creates reliable products, enables meaningful new capability, and solves real customer problems.
Think in systems. Understand how your work affects the complete product and the people who build it. Make tradeoffs that improve the whole, not just your direct area of ownership.
Exercise judgment. Apply the engineering rigor the risk requires. Make timely decisions with the available evidence, communicate uncertainty, and balance technical excellence with program needs.
Raise the standard. Deliver quality work on time, improve how the team works, and leave the products, systems, tools, and people around you better than you found them.
The best labs have someone everyone relies on, and almost nobody has to ask for. The bench is built before it's needed. The tool is where you left it. The fixture works the first time because someone thought it through in advance. That's this role.
You're not a support function bolted onto engineering; you're inside it. You'll build prototypes, build the benches and infrastructure engineers work on, keep the lab in a state where anyone can walk in and get to work, and support validation from setup through teardown. When five things need attention at once, that's a normal Tuesday, not a crisis.
No hand-off delays. No waiting on someone else to get the lab ready. You will not be measured by how busy you are, but by how much engineering moves faster because you’re here.
Because our success depends on collaboration, we expect new employees to work onsite five days a week to build strong working relationships with the team.
You'll likely have working knowledge of some mix of the following. We're less interested in checking every box than in judgment and hands-on capability.
Relevant background helps: automotive, aerospace, robotics, industrial equipment, manufacturing, R&D labs, motorsports, or similar hands-on environments. Technical training, apprenticeship, military technical experience, or an associate's degree are all reasonable paths in.
We're open to candidates across experience levels and backgrounds. If you can point to something you built, fixed, or kept running and are proud of the standard you held yourself to, we want to talk to you.
