Location: Los Angeles, CA Team: Engineering, Materials Reports to: Chief Engineer
The US needs 1.5 terawatts of new power by 2035. AI has scaled beyond our ability to build power, and the existing power supply chain is the bottleneck. You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030: order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch past 2030. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. The future demands a new kind of hardware company, building a new kind of turbine. That's Stone.
We are America's Turbine Company, designing, fabricating, and deploying turbines for a $200B+ market that's tripling by the early 2030s. We are building our own factories. We are delivering our own natural gas, steam, and advanced turbines. And we are doing it with an AI stack built specifically for hardware.
Natural gas turbines are the first leaf on a multi-decade tech tree. The same physics kernel, the same factory, and the same team will deliver natural gas turbines, nuclear turbines, geothermal turbines, and heat recovery systems. Nat gas is how we get going. Nuclear (on and off planet) is how we become a generational company.
This role as a Materials Engineer focuses on the design and development of various manufacturing processes for use in a natural gas power plant. You will solve challenges such as sizing a forging press, writing and enforcing casting specifications, validating material properties, running material testing programs, and researching advanced welding methods.
Key responsibilities include manufacturing process design, material selection, and thermal analysis, manufacturing development, and testing. The Materials Engineer role is a responsible engineer (RE) that will be the primary owner of their system or process with responsibility from concept to performance in the field.
