About Stone Power
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 nuclear turbines, geothermal turbines, heat recovery systems, and propulsion engines. Nat gas is how we get going. Nuclear (on and off planet) is how we become a generational company.
Why This Page Exists
We are growing fast and the roles we have posted are a snapshot, not a ceiling. If you’ve read the open roles and don’t see your exact fit but believe you can move the needle at Stone, we want to hear from you. Founding teams are built by people who see the work before there’s a job description for it.
This page is for the engineer, builder, operator, or generalist who looks at what Stone is doing and thinks “I belong on that team.”
Functions We Are Actively Hiring Across
- Engineering. Aero, mechanical, thermal, controls, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, materials, and disciplines we haven’t even spun up yet. Every engineer at Stone is a Responsible Engineer for a piece of the machine.
- Manufacturing and the factory floor. Machinists, fabricators, technicians, foundry experts, quality, supply chain. We are building our own factories and we need the people who have stood up real production lines before.
- AI and software. Hardware engineers who are dangerous in software, and software engineers who care about atoms. We are building the machine that designs the machine.
- Operations, finance, and the back office. First hires in finance, legal, recruiting, and the functions that keep a hardware company running at pace.
- Anywhere else you think you belong. If you have read this far and you know what you would build at Stone, tell us.
What We Look For
- You have shipped real things in serious environments. For engineers, that means hardware in the field. For operators, that means functions you stood up from zero. For anyone else, it means a track record of building something that mattered to the people who paid for it.
- You operate with ownership. Every founding employee at Stone takes profound responsibility for the work they own. There is no waiting for someone else to figure it out.
- You move with urgency. The order books at our competitors stretch past 2030. The world cannot wait.
- You have taste. You know what to build and what to skip. The most expensive mistakes in hardware are the ones nobody catches until the part is in the test cell.
- You want to build a generational company. Nat gas is how we get going. The long game is bigger.
