# General Application / Future Openings at Overview Energy

- **Company:** Overview Energy
- **Location:** Ashburn, VA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-08-25
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-11
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/overviewenergy/74687e62-4af4-420e-b284-7054d1464321

## Job description

As civilization electrifies, energy demand will continue to outpace the deployment of terrestrial infrastructure required to deliver it. Space solar energy has the potential to decouple energy generation from geography, weather, and traditional transmission constraints, creating an entirely new layer of global energy infrastructure.

Overview Energy is building that new layer: satellites that redirect solar energy from geosynchronous orbit to existing terrestrial solar projects using passively safe near-infrared light.

Building a system that has never existed requires people who are comfortable working where physics, engineering, manufacturing, and execution meet. It requires builders who are energized by difficult problems, move comfortably across disciplines, and measure progress by evidence.

Who Thrives Here We look for people who:

- Think from first principles.
- Prefer difficult engineering problems over familiar ones.
- Build, test, iterate, and learn quickly.
- Care deeply about craftsmanship and technical rigor.
- Take ownership beyond the boundaries of a job description.
- Are excited by the opportunity to create something that has never been built before.

## What We Value

- Curiosity over credentials
- Excellence over perfection
- Systems thinking
- Relentless experimentation
- Deep collaboration

Great companies are often built by people who weren't waiting for the perfect job posting. We're always looking for builders who see the future before it exists - and have the determination to help create it. If that’s you, share your resume with us and we’ll be in touch when the time is right.

## About Overview Energy

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Overview Energy is building a constellation of satellites in geosynchronous orbit that capture sunlight and beam safe, near-infrared energy to receivers on Earth to provide continuous, grid-scale solar power.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Venture-backed)
- **Headquarters**: Ashburn, Virginia, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed (founded by a team with expertise in energy, aerospace, and software)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Space Research and Technology, Aerospace, Clean Energy, Satellite Communication
- Target customers: Utility companies, grid operators, solar project developers, and governments (B2B, Enterprise)
- Mission or purpose statement: To turn uninterrupted sunlight in space into directable, reliable energy on Earth, making solar a 24/7 resource and solving grid demands without costly infrastructure upgrades.

## Products & Services
- **Space Solar Satellite Constellation**: A system of satellites in geosynchronous orbit that capture sunlight 24/7 and convert it into safe, near-infrared light. This light is beamed to large solar projects (receivers) on Earth, which convert it into electricity for the grid. The system is designed for gigawatt-scale energy generation and can redirect power on demand across continents.
- **Airborne Power Transfer (Demonstrated)**: A first-of-a-kind airborne test that proved the core technology works, validating the beam's safety and efficiency using commercially available components.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Total Funding**: ~$30.1 million (across 2 rounds)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lowercarbon Capital, Mana Ventures (based on employee talent sources); specific lead investors not publicly named for all rounds.
- **Growth Signals**:
    - Headcount growth of +13.8% monthly (as of mid-2025).
    - Raised a Venture Round of ~$11.7M in July 2024.
    - Filed 5 patents as of 2025.
    - Targeting delivery of grid-scale power by the early 2030s.
    - Has a "capacity reservation agreement" in place, indicating early commercial interest.

## Competitive Advantages
- **24/7 Baseload Solar Power**: Unlike terrestrial solar, the system generates power continuously regardless of weather, time of day, or season, solving the intermittency problem of renewable energy.
- **Passively Safe Technology**: Uses a wide, near-infrared beam that is inherently below eye-safety limits, described as safer than a supermarket barcode scanner.
- **Grid Infrastructure Bypass**: Can deliver energy directly to receivers, bypassing congested transmission corridors and strengthening grid reliability without costly ground upgrades.
- **Commercially Viable Components**: Relies on proven, commercially available parts (laser diodes, solar panels) rather than requiring "leap-of-faith" scientific breakthroughs, reducing technical risk.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling for Gigawatt Capacity**: Moving from a validated airborne demonstration to building and launching satellites, with a goal of full constellation build-out and gigawatt-scale energy delivery by the early 2030s.
- **Mass Production**: Designing satellites for mass manufacturing to build multiple gigawatts of capacity.
- **Commercialization**: Securing capacity reservation agreements and partners to ensure a market for the delivered energy.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven Impact**: Work on a technology that directly addresses climate change and global energy challenges by creating a new, clean baseload power source.
- **Cutting-Edge Technology**: Opportunity to work at the intersection of aerospace, energy, and optical systems, with a focus on building real hardware that flies.
- **Hybrid Work Environment**: Employees work a combination of remote and on-site (in-office) from the Ashburn, VA headquarters.
- **Early-Stage Growth**: As a small, well-funded startup (19-25 employees), there is significant potential for ownership, impact, and career growth as the company scales.
- **Strong Technical Team**: The company attracts talent from top aerospace and tech companies (e.g., Astranis, Starfish Space, RTX).
