What does an electrical engineering researcher do?

An Electrical Engineering Researcher investigates new technologies, theories, and applications within the field of electrical engineering. Their work often involves designing experiments, analyzing data, and publishing findings to advance knowledge in areas such as electronics, power systems, telecommunications, or control systems. They may work in academic, industrial, or government settings, collaborating with other engineers and scientists to innovate or solve complex technical challenges.

What types of projects and collaborations can an electrical engineering researcher expect to be involved in?

As an Electrical Engineering Researcher, you can expect to work on a wide range of projects, from developing next-generation semiconductor devices to advancing renewable energy systems or designing innovative communication technologies. Collaboration is a key part of the role; you'll often work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including other engineers, computer scientists, and sometimes industry partners or government agencies. Research tasks typically involve conducting experiments, analyzing data, presenting findings, and publishing results. This dynamic environment fosters continuous learning and offers opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in the field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an electrical engineering researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Electrical Engineering Researcher, you need a strong background in electrical engineering principles, advanced mathematics, and typically a graduate degree (Master’s or Ph.D.). Proficiency with simulation software (such as MATLAB or SPICE), programming languages, and familiarity with laboratory instruments is essential. Analytical thinking, creativity, and effective communication are important soft skills that enable successful problem-solving and collaboration. These skills ensure innovative research outcomes, accurate experimentation, and effective dissemination of findings within the field.

What is the difference between Electrical Engineering Researcher vs Electrical Engineer?

AspectElectrical Engineering ResearcherElectrical Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering; often a PhD for research rolesBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, universities, R&D departmentsDesign, develop, and test electrical systems in various industries
Employer & Industry UsageAcademic institutions, government labs, corporate R&DManufacturers, utility companies, tech firms

Electrical Engineering Researchers focus on advancing knowledge through research and experimentation, often working in labs or academic settings. Electrical Engineers apply engineering principles to design and implement electrical systems in real-world applications. While both roles require similar educational backgrounds, their work environments and objectives differ significantly.

Job description

Antora Energy delivers affordable, reliable energy to industry, data centers, and the grid. Our thermal batteries turn low-cost electricity into always-on heat and power, without supply-constrained critical minerals or multi-year construction timelines.
We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and work with humility and openness. We are committed to building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.
About The Role
Antora is seeking an exceptionally driven Electrical Engineering Manager / Architect to lead the team designing the next generation of Antora's thermal energy storage products. This role combines people leadership with deep technical ownership of high-voltage, high-power electrical system architecture spanning both product and plant-level systems.
You will guide a team of engineers through the full product lifecycle, from architecture definition and trade studies through detailed design, prototyping, validation, manufacturing, and field deployment. Your work will directly shape the commercialization of a first-of-a-kind long-duration energy storage technology.
This is a highly cross-functional, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in first-principles engineering, moves comfortably between whiteboard strategy and hardware reality, and knows how to build teams, systems, and processes that scale. You'll also help the organization apply modern engineering tools, including simulation, automation, and AI-enabled workflows where useful - to move faster, make better decisions, and keep the bar high for technical rigor.
What You'll Do
  • Lead and grow the team: Hire, mentor, and manage a high-performing electrical engineering team, providing technical direction, design reviews, and coaching to support strong execution and long-term team development.
  • Own system architecture: Define and drive the electrical architecture for both Antora's thermal battery modules and plant-level electrical systems.
  • Drive hardware development: Lead development of high-power, high-current electrical heating and power systems from early concept through detailed design, validation, site deployment, and operational support.
  • Advance R&D and innovation: Evaluate power delivery approaches, including AC and DC system architectures, to optimize for performance, efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
  • Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with mechanical, reliability, software, procurement, manufacturing, and project execution teams to ensure cohesive system development and successful program delivery.
  • Ensure compliance and quality: Oversee electrical code compliance and standards alignment, including UL and NEC requirements, while maintaining a high bar for safety, reliability, and regulatory readiness.
  • Build engineering systems: Establish and reinforce strong engineering practices, documentation standards, simulation and review workflows, and effective development processes that improve team efficiency and design quality.
  • Shape how we work: Help the team thoughtfully incorporate modern tools, including AI-assisted analysis, documentation, and engineering workflows, in ways that accelerate execution without compromising judgment or rigor.

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 10+ years of relevant experience, including a strong track record leading electrical engineering teams responsible for grid-scale or industrial power systems
  • Deep first-principles engineering mindset, with a relentless drive to increase performance and reduce cost
  • Extensive experience with high-power systems at the MW scale across low- to medium-voltage ranges, from 208V through 34.5kV+
  • Strong system architecture experience, including substation design, transformer sizing, bus and breaker sizing, and preparation of single-line diagrams
  • Significant experience with power electronics and switching-based power delivery systems at 100kW+
  • Proven ability to manage equipment vendors and EPC partners, with practical familiarity in field construction, commissioning, and site integration
  • Familiarity with electrical design and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, PSpice, PSCAD, or similar tools
  • Experience testing, qualifying, troubleshooting, and performing root-cause analysis for high-power electrical systems
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex technical concepts across disciplines and levels of the organization

Bonus Qualifications
  • Experience with renewable energy systems such as solar or wind, or with industrial process heating applications such as green hydrogen
  • Experience drafting and reviewing HAZOP, PHA, and LOTO procedures
  • Participation in full lifecycle product development, from early R&D through commercial launch and field operations
  • Experience using data, automation, or AI-enabled tools to improve engineering throughput, technical decision-making, or design quality in hardware development environments
