Mechanical Design Engineer

Company Overview:

Mattur is a cutting-edge renewable energy company whose mission is to accelerate energy independence at the lowest cost.

At the core of our technology is our proprietary PulseTech Adaptive Generator, engineered to produce electricity with substantially less rotational force than traditional generators. We’ve paired that generator with our unique wind turbine design to harness wind energy more effectively than anyone in the market.

Our wind turbines can be placed on virtually any rooftop or scaled up to thousands of units

for a utility-sized project. They produce electricity 24 hours a day and can be used stand alone or combined with solar and storage to create an independent renewable power plant. Because our turbines can use low wind speeds, they are placed closer close to the point of use, reducing the need for expensive grid infrastructure. Additionally, their compact form allows for low-cost delivery and installation, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for any energy need. Join us in revolutionizing the renewable energy landscape and powering a sustainable future.
