Engineering Technician Apply
Company Overview
Beam is on a mission to revolutionize and decarbonize how we heat people. We are well aware of the emissions problem of keeping people comfortable energy use from buildings contributes to 27% of global CO2 emissions, the majority of which is due to on-site use of fossil fuels. However, we seldom talk about catering to the distinct and differentiated individual needs of comfort of different people.
We are building a smart, high-efficiency, revolutionary heating system that flips the orthodoxy of one-size-fits-all solutions that heat entire spaces as a way to heat people. Personal comfort is, in fact, personal and unique to individuals. We have developed a novel way to deliver individualized heat to people through an elegant hardware-software platform that is truly 10x better than what is on the market today.
If you are mission-driven, product-obsessed, and keen on building something that revolutionizes the customer experience while delivering benefits to the planet and future generations, you are a natural fit for the Beam Team. Our founders have experiences across engineering, design, and public policy, at Tesla, Zoox, Deloitte and others. We recently closed our first institutional capital round, where we brought on some of the best climate tech investors in the world.
