Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Build software for renewable energy campuses, including high-fidelity simulations, geospatial data pipelines, automated site and electrical design, and energy management systems. Develop real-time controls, SCADA and telemetry integrations, testing infrastructure, and safety systems for islanded solar and storage facilities. Collaborate with power, civil, and external engineering experts to convert domain knowledge into reliable software and accelerate utility-scale site design and deployment.

Own full-cycle recruiting for TAR’s San Francisco R&D team across robotics, hardware, and software. Responsibilities include sourcing passive candidates, advising hiring leaders, managing structured interviews in Ashby, closing offers, improving candidate experience, strengthening employer brand, and analyzing recruiting metrics. The recruiter will help scale hiring rapidly while recruiting technical talent from engineering and related industries.

Design and validate mechanical systems for deployment machines: chassis, drivetrains, manipulators, and end effectors. Produce CAD, detailed drawings, GD&T, and DFM handoff. Run FEA and fatigue analysis, build and test prototypes, and drive vendor relationships to scale prototypes into field-deployed fleets in harsh outdoor environments.

Lead machine-level systems engineering for robotics: derive requirements from deployment targets, define use cases and interfaces, build error/performance budgets, run verification/validation, own safety architecture, support integration, field-commission devices, and drive cross-functional alignment.

Work directly with founders to drive multi-GW energy projects end-to-end: deliver construction and procurement milestones, lead special projects, support large-scale project and equity financing, hire across levels, and resolve urgent operational issues on-site.

Design and own electrical systems for off-grid deployment robots: end-to-end PCB design, power electronics and battery systems, motor drives integration, sensor and compute integration, EMI/EMC and safety, field bring-up and debugging, and manufacturer handoff for production.

Work directly with founders to solve ambiguous, high-impact problems end-to-end: drive GW-scale project delivery, stand up new functions, remove engineering blockers, support financing workstreams, hire across levels, and handle on-site operational troubleshooting including travel to West Texas.

Build and own hardware test function for robotic systems: design fixtures and rigs, create test plans, instrument DAQ systems, run environmental and durability tests, diagnose root causes, build reliability models, and automate test reporting to qualify machines for field deployment.

Lead TAR's legal function with primary focus on drafting and negotiating EPC, OEM, MSA, PPA, and customer agreements. Build contract templates and systems, manage outside counsel, handle land/site agreements, support project finance, M&A, disputes, insurance, patents, and clean energy policy issues. Work directly with founders and cross-functional leads to scale a GW-level project pipeline.

Design and integrate electrical and firmware systems for heavy mobile robots: motor control, power distribution, sensing (encoders, IMU, RTK-GNSS), embedded real-time control (CAN/EtherCAT), safety interlocks, bench and field bring-up, and ruggedization for harsh environments. Support prototype-to-fleet transition through harness DFM, supplier coordination, and field debugging.
