Company
Overview
A vertical-axis, modular hydropower turbine system was designed by their leadership team.
Partnerships include multi-year contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and Energy.
Systems deliver rugged, expeditionary power solutions in off-grid environments.
Their turbines capture kinetic energy from flowing water and are designed to self-clear debris and adapt to varying currents.
Notable区别: Their technology enables baseload hydropower without the need for large dams, minimizing ecological and infrastructure impact.
Culture + Values
Passion: Self‑Motivated – caring about what you do and how you do it. We all want to be here, right now, on this mission.
Learning: The need to improve and grow both professionally and personally. Being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and having an open mind. Seeking new challenges, opportunities and perspectives.
Altruistic: If you are the center of the universe, you do not belong in ours. We are here to help each other and to help others. We are here to make the world a better place.
Integrity: We are honest and moral people. Character counts and details matter. We do the right thing, as individuals and as a team.
Determination: The strength and perseverance to see things all the way through, especially when confronted by obstacles.
Environment + Sustainability
VOLTURNUS modular turbine arrays produce continuous, scalable baseload energy from flowing water
Committed to “harnessing the power of flowing water while preserving the environment”
Partnered with U.S. DoD and DoE to commercialize technology for off‑grid and expeditionary energy applications
Target markets include rivers, canals and oceans—deployable without ecological disruption from large dams
Inclusion & Diversity
Multiple employees cite 'extremely inappropriate comments' and experiences of discrimination.
Reported lack of structural support for DEI despite some reviews noting an 'employee-focused workplace'.
