Antora builds and deploys thermal energy storage to power always-on industrial operations and data centers with low-cost energy. Factory-built in California, Antora’s thermal batteries deliver reliable and cost-effective heat and power for industrial loads of any size. Antora is electrifying global industry while supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs, lowering costs for energy consumers, and enhancing the competitiveness of American industry.
We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness. We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.
Position Summary
Antora’s Energy Team is seeking a Summer Associate (Intern) for Summer 2026 to build automated powered tools and workflows that streamline complex power supply analysis. Over ~10 weeks, you’ll deliver a mission-critical project (e.g., a energy development 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
- Prototype and deploy AI-enabled workflows for key energy research components, such as:
- Electricity pricing and cost drivers
- “Utility friendliness” summaries
- Utility contacts and interaction history
- Utility + interconnection options
- Interconnection timelines and cost ranges
- 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.”
- 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 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.
