Join DOE to Accelerate the Clean Energy Future in Manufacturing and Industry

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Office (EERE) is hiring for positions at all levels for two new offices: the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO). Formerly the Advanced Manufacturing Office, AMMTO and IEDO will accelerate innovation in advanced manufacturing and industrial decarbonization and help to build the manufacturing workforce of the future.

The AMMTO will focus on accelerating innovation in the manufacturing sector and supporting a domestic clean energy technology manufacturing economy. The IEDO will focus on reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions and increasing industrial resource efficiency.

Meet the two new Manufacturing & Industry Offices

After today, October 7th, the Advanced Manufacturing Office will reorganize into the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office and Industrial Efficiency & Decarbonization Office. Learn more.

A Peek Inside the Manufacturing Jobs of the Future 

Millions of new manufacturing jobs will be created over the next 10 years to achieve our clean energy future and decarbonize our economy. Today’s students are tomorrow’s manufacturing workers – creating clean energy products and technologies to sustain America’s leadership in manufacturing for generations to come. There are endless career opportunities within the manufacturing field, whether you’re interested in data analytics, industrial engineering, research, or energy auditing. Take a peek inside the many manufacturing jobs of the future:

Highlighting Composites Manufacturing Education & Technology (CoMET) Facility: 

The Composites Manufacturing Education and Technology Facility (CoMET) at the National Wind Technology Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) paves the way for innovative wind turbine components and accelerated manufacturing. The facility expands NREL's composite manufacturing research capabilities by enabling researchers to design, prototype, validate, and manufacture large-scale composite structures in one location.  

Virtually step inside the CoMET Facility for a firsthand look at how a 200-foot-long blade, heavier than an elephant, and spinning over 100 miles an hour is made.

The CoMET facility is the result of a funding partnership involving NREL, the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI, which is funded by the U.S.  Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office).
