Felt.com, because multiplayer web mapping is cool to me (think "Google Docs for maps").
OpenSolar and Aurora, who make web based solar design apps (like rooftop layouts and other things).
NREL.gov, because working with renewables researchers would be a dream for me (applied many times, never heard back /cry)
Starlink, even though it's Musk, because it's such a life-changing tech and a very hard interdisciplinary problem. Crazy engineering that still feels like sci-fi to me.
Rivian, because they seem more functional/grounded than Teslas. I would love a working man's EV utility vehicle rather than a futuristic spaceship.
In general, I just like smallish companies that have applied real-world uses solving immediate problems.
AI is up and coming but right now it feels like the industry is still in its infancy and not sure what problems it can solve yet, and mostly they're just frontends on top of a few API providers. Excited to see how it evolves, but so far it's not a field I'd want to work in yet (not that I'm qualified to anyway).
- Gooblebrai 2y agoInteresting companies! Thanks for sharing. What role would you like at those companies?
- solardev 2y agoI don't have much in the way of skills (just web dev) or education (science B.S.), so whatever I can get! Web dev seems to be dying anyway, so unemployment is more likely than getting to work for any of those orgs, alas :) But I just think it's cool when companies/orgs find a niche and are able to sustainably work on that problem, living outside the usual tech hype cycles.
- Gooblebrai 2y agoI agree! Felt.com and OpenSolar look really cool
