The Spark
Erika Lauren Guerrero leads Electric Goddess, providing advanced validation testing and battery consulting for a safer, electrified world—combining the grace of a bootstrapped family business with the rigor of a lab fit for spaceflight. Electric Goddess, founded in 2019 and based in El Segundo, CA, is working with companies, including investors, Fortune 100 companies, and promising startups across mobility, energy storage, aviation, and space.
What Electric Goddess Does
Short answer: Electric Goddess embodies specialized battery expertise. From early design reviews to benchmarking, abuse and validation testing, corrosion mitigation and ruggedization of applications, thermal runaway analysis and forensics, the team supplies the scientific methods, data, and qualitative consulting that transmutes challenges into success. Companies and engineers integrate Electric Goddess into their mission and team to move faster, de-risk decisions, and transfer knowledge to accelerate their programs—whether scaling from prototype to production or troubleshooting edge-case failures.
Where They Play
· Battery designs: satellites, space exploration, aircraft, motorcycles, trucking, micromobility, consumer electronics, stationary systems, data centers, and grid support.
· Product Development: Novel test methods, cell chemistry validation, power electronics, adhesive development, motors, and invention services.
· Incubation and Startups: Idea lab space, design concept development, expert support.
· Investors: technical due diligence, benchmarking, physics-based concept analysis.
Why It Matters
The battery industry is full of press releases. Electric Goddess sorts through the noise to find signal. By combining lab capability with manufacturing and design experience, clients can validate safety, performance, and longevity—and fail fast to succeed in the long run. The results are tangible and intangible value creation, manifesting in fewer recalls, less capital and operational spending on program overhead, and trusted, industry-leading products.
Lab, Tools, Results
Think holistically designed tests, not a checkbox to complete a standard. The team captures, interprets, and integrates data into actionable design guidance for their clients.
· Specialized Laboratory Testing: accelerated rate calorimetry, advanced cycling (±5,600A), TVAC, dielectric decay, tear-downs, Raman/optical analysis, surface energy, corrosion testing, thermal conductivity, argon glove boxes, and much more.
· Systems View: test and validation plans, supplier intros, and quality control.
· Communication: Executive and investor summaries to detailed technical reports.
Proof points: 50+ battery designs, 200+ projects, 40+ global clients.
The Operating System
Electric Goddess is an extension of the scientific, engineering, and development team. The typical engagement flow is:
1. Introduction to define mission success criteria.
2. Detailed, tailored review during a strategy session.
3. Insights, plan, and deliverable milestones to achieve success.
4. Mutual agreement: retain battery expertise, or project-based work.
5. Data, reporting, and work product tied to the deliverables.
Ethics, By Design
The mission is to power collective consciousness and light the way for the next generation of energy. The company declines to work on destructive weapons, focusing instead on global constructive energy and safe, long-lasting products.
Founder’s Edge
Guerrero’s superpower is servant leadership—keeping an industrious and creative mindset while guiding programs to deliver actionable results. Her leadership is matched by Chief Scientist Luke Workman’s exceptional systems-level perspective and unorthodox creativity, turning complex energy problems into elegant solutions. The combination attracts great talent and clients.

Why Teams Come Back
Electric Goddess cuts straight to the core with radically authentic guidance, data that survives exec review, and a bias for building the best in class. The team is small, agile, and uninterested in selling tests you don’t need—only the evidence you must have to clear gates with confidence.
— What it feels like to work with them:“Luke will look at the problem holistically and find solutions nobody else has considered.” — Ben Zeiger, PhD, NASA engineer & astrophysics professor
“We received the best information about batteries from anyone I’ve worked with in decades.” - Technical Manager, Stealth Space Company
