Company
AMONIX, Inc., a leader in Solar Electric Power Technology, is ready to commercialize its unique and efficient high-concentrator system. New senior career positions are created as needed, offering excellent opportunities for personal contribution and growth. Competitive salary, benefits and aggressive stock option plans make these opportunities very attractive.
Amonix pioneered concentrator PV technology and is the world leader in the field. We are transitioning our focus from research and development to manufacturing, marketing, and installing our systems for utility scale networks. Amonix’s proprietary technology can go into large volume production quicker and with lower capital requirements than any other PV technology. The Company is focused on the large power producers in the Southwestern U.S. In these areas, there is a high level of direct sunlight that maximizes the cost advantages of the Amonix system. Public utility commissions in these areas have mandated a minimum requirement for solar energy production as part of the energy portfolios of the utilities they regulate. The Company has begun to produce modules for public utility companies and plans to continue to penetrate this market over the near term.

Fantastic opportunity awaiting you in this position in Seal Beach, California!  The solar industry is rapidly getting attention and funding from around the world so there will not be a lot of kitchen sinks getting thrown out with plans as budgets constrict in other industries.
