Employee count is not publicly specified, and as a private company, no revenue figures are disclosed for 2023 or later (source: cbinsights.com).

What They Do

Antora Energy is a pioneering private renewable energy company that specializes in thermal energy storage solutions aimed at decarbonizing industrial heat and power. Founded by a team of experts with advanced degrees from Stanford and MIT, the company focuses on innovative technologies such as thermophotovoltaics (TPV) and scalable energy systems. Their core product is a modular thermal battery that stores renewable electricity as heat in solid carbon blocks, which can be heated to extremely high temperatures for multi-day storage and then discharged as industrial heat or electricity (source: research.contrary.com; antora.com).

The technology is designed to address the significant emissions produced by the industrial sector, which accounts for nearly one-third of global emissions. Antora's thermal batteries are capable of achieving over 40% heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency, making them a cost-effective alternative to traditional energy storage solutions. The company targets heavy industries such as chemicals, mining, food and beverage, oil and gas, cement, and steel, providing solutions that require continuous high-temperature heat and power (source: energy.mit.edu; antora.com).

Antora differentiates itself from competitors by offering dual heat and power output, high efficiency of TPV cells, and the ability to operate at extreme temperatures. Their manufacturing operations are based in the United States, ensuring quality and reliability in production. The company also employs a Heat-as-a-Service model, allowing clients to avoid upfront capital costs by installing batteries and purchasing heat or electricity under long-term contracts (source: antora.com; cbinsights.com).

Projects & Track Record

In 2023, Antora Energy successfully commissioned its first commercial-scale thermal battery, a 5 MWh system located near Fresno, California. This project, developed in partnership with Wellhead Electric, is notable for being the world's first operational thermal battery utilizing carbon blocks and TPV technology, providing continuous industrial heat and power. This pilot project marks a significant milestone in Antora's journey towards commercial deployment across various sectors, with plans for future projects in industries such as chemicals, mining, food and beverage, and oil and gas, some of which are expected to be operational by 2025 (source: research.contrary.com; energy.mit.edu).

Additionally, Antora opened a state-of-the-art 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility in San Jose, California, in 2023, which is recognized as the world's largest TPV manufacturing operation. This facility is designed to produce TPV cells and assemble batteries, with an annual capacity of 2 megawatts, further solidifying Antora's position as a leader in thermal energy storage technology (source: cbinsights.com; research.contrary.com).

Recent Developments

Antora Energy has made significant strides in recent years, including raising $150 million in a Series B funding round in early 2024, led by Decarbonization Partners, which includes BlackRock and Temasek. This funding brings the company's total equity funding to approximately $204.73 million, aimed at scaling thermal battery production to meet the growing demand for zero-emissions energy solutions. In 2023, the company also launched its commercial-scale batteries and received over $4 million in grants from the California Energy Commission and ARPA-E to support its TPV expansion efforts (source: antora.com; cbinsights.com).

Moreover, Antora's innovative technology earned recognition in 2023, winning TIME’s Best Inventions and Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas awards, highlighting the impact of their thermal battery solutions on the renewable energy landscape. The merger with Medley Thermal has also enhanced Antora's capabilities by integrating software solutions for industrial boiler systems, further improving deployment efficiency (source: research.contrary.com).

Working There

Antora Energy offers a range of career opportunities across various departments, including engineering, software integration, commercial operations, and research and development. The company is particularly focused on hiring talent to support its manufacturing operations and project deployments, with job openings primarily located in their Sunnyvale and San Jose offices. The culture at Antora emphasizes rapid iteration and collaboration among a team of professionals with backgrounds from prestigious institutions like Stanford and MIT, fostering an environment that is mission-driven and focused on deploying large-scale battery solutions globally (source: climatetechlist.com; research.contrary.com).

While specific employee benefits are not extensively documented, the company's Heat-as-a-Service model and focus on long-term operations suggest a commitment to stability and predictability for its workforce. Antora's emphasis on creating jobs in the US is also highlighted in their funding announcements, reflecting their dedication to contributing positively to the local economy (source: antora.com).

Position Summary

Antora's Power Supply team is seeking a Summer Associate (Intern) for Summer 2026 to build AI-powered tools and automated workflows that streamline complex power supply analysis. Over ~10 weeks, you'll deliver a mission-critical project (e.g., a Power Supply desktop study automation pipeline and/or an interconnection opportunity mapping workflow) that accelerates how Antora identifies, evaluates, and de-risks high-priority projects supporting faster deployment of Antora batteries.

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Build an AI-assisted desktop study pipeline that ingests new project inputs (e.g., intake + minimal data) and produces a standardized desktop study output (e.g., into Notion), targeting ~90% completeness with <30 minutes of human QA.
  • Automate and standardize key power supply research components, such as:
  • Develop a filterable "Interconnection Intelligence Map," leveraging interconnection tools like Piq that catalogs substation specs, MW withdrawal capacity, and estimated interconnection costs; overlay insights with Antora's customer/project pipeline to identify geographic "sweet spots."
  • Prototype and deploy AI-enabled analyst workflows (e.g., an interactive "Power Supply Analyst" agent) that help the team answer complex utility/interconnection questions faster and more consistently.
  • Package your work so it persists after the internship: documentation, handoff materials, and a usable tool/workflow that the team continues using.

Key Qualifications

  • Foundational understanding of energy markets and the role of power supply in energy storage project development.
  • Strong analytical ability: comfortable synthesizing multiple data sources into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Demonstrated experience applying AI tools (LLMs, RAG, agents, automation) to real-world problems-especially extracting insights from unstructured data and building repeatable workflows.
  • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly and document processes so others can use and maintain them.

Additional Qualifications Desired

  • Familiarity with utility tariffs, interconnection processes, and common terminology in grid development.
  • Experience with power/market modeling and data analysis or energy analytics tools (e.g., PROMOD, Orennia, PLEXOS or similar).
  • Experience building lightweight data products (dashboards/maps), pipelines, or APIs-especially for geo-tagged or utility-territory-based datasets.
  • Interest in experimenting with "agentic" workflows (interactive analyst assistants) and iterating quickly from prototype to usable internal tool.
