About the role
About Tempo
Based in San Diego, California, Tempo develops thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems designed for energy-intensive industries. The platform enables industrial operators to shift energy use over time by sourcing power when it is most cost-effective and enables the electrification of high-temperature industrial heat at a cost advantage to using fossil fuels. By storing electricity thermochemically, the system delivers a continuous stream of combustion-free, high-temperature air at up to 1,200°C.
Tempo is backed by leading climate and energy investors, including Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Prelude Ventures.

Tempo is seeking a highly skilled and safety-conscious Electronics Technician to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance of complex electronic systems, with a specialized focus on high power and high voltage equipment. You will work closely with our engineering team to ensure the reliability and safety of high-voltage components, power supplies, inverters, and related industrial control systems.
Key Responsibilities
• System Testing & Calibration: Perform routine and complex testing, calibration, and validation of high power electronic systems and high voltage circuitry.
• Troubleshooting & Repair: Diagnose malfunctions down to the component level in power electronics, switchgear, transformers, motor drives, and energy storage systems.
• Assembly & Installation: Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical blueprints to assemble and install high voltage panels and subsystems.
• Safety Compliance: Strictly adhere to all electrical safety protocols, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, arc flash safety, and NFPA 70E standards.
• Maintenance: Execute preventative and corrective maintenance on high voltage test fixtures and production equipment to minimize downtime.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate logs of testing data, repair histories, and equipment performance metrics. Draft technical reports summarizing failure analysis.
• Collaboration: Work alongside electrical and mechanical engineers to prototype new power systems, suggesting design improvements based on field testing.
Qualifications
Required:
• Associate Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, or equivalent military technical training (e.g., Navy Nuclear, Avionics).
• Minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on experience in electronics manufacturing, testing, or maintenance, with at least 2 years specifically working with high power (>10kW) or high voltage (>600V) systems.
• Proficiency in using advanced electrical test equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, megohmmeters (meggers), hi-pot testers, and power analyzers.
• Strong understanding of power conversion topologies (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC).
• Ability to solder to IPC-J-STD-001 or IPC-A-610 standards.
• Demonstrated knowledge of high voltage safety practices, OSHA electrical safety standards, and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail, and clear written and verbal communication skills.
Compensation Range
The US base hourly salary range for this full-time position is $24.00 to $50.00 based on experience + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, location, and relevant education or training.
Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include equity or benefits.
Physical Demands
• Sitting and standing: Extended periods at a desk performing computer-based design, simulation, and documentation work, balanced with time at a lab bench or in the shop during hardware build and testing
• Lifting and carrying : Lift and carry equipment, test fixtures, or hardware assemblies up to 50 lbs.; heavier items handled with mechanical assistance or team lift
• Hand dexterity: Frequent use of hands for assembly, fabrication, instrumentation hookup, and operation of test and shop equipment
• Visual acuity: Ability to read engineering drawings, inspect hardware, and identify dimensional and surface quality features during fabrication and testing
• PPE compliance: Ability to wear and work effectively in required personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, heat-resistant gloves, safety shoes, and other appropriate gear in high-temperature lab and shop environments
• Safety acumen: Demonstrated understanding of lab and shop safety protocols, including hazard recognition and risk mitigation in environments involving high-temperature equipment, energized systems, and fabrication machinery
• Travel: Occasional travel (estimated
