About

Steinmetz is building the next generation of American power electronics. The next generation of great machines — electric vehicles, robotics, aerospace, and industrial systems — depends on power electronics that are lighter, cheaper, more efficient, and built at real scale. We push the Pareto frontier of power electronics through multi-disciplinary design. We're the OEM that customers actually appreciate.

Founders

  • Owen Brake· Founder

    Multi-disciplinary engineer with a track record of building across industries—from high-performance brake systems to GHz FCC compliance and scaling production SQL databases with 10B+ records. Previously developed motor controllers at Tesla. Held diverse engineering roles at Neuralink, Apple, Parallel Systems, and Ford. Mechatronics Engineering graduate, University of Waterloo. Led the Formula Electric team, driving innovation in EV performance.

  • Ethan Childerhose· Founder

    Co-founder and CTO at Steinmetz. Previously at Rocketlab, Nvidia, Tesla, and Neuralink. I've worked across the hardware stack from analog transistor level design to 100 lb mechanical fixtures for environmental testing. My work has reached the moon, been mass produced millions of times, and processed the faintest of signals from the human brain.
