About the role
- We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge.
- This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.
- We pay our employees competitive salaries based on level of experience and offer meaningful equity in a fast growing company.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the system architecture that integrates electrical, mechanical, and thermodynamic subsystems into a coherent platform
- Establish interface control documents, system requirements, and execute test & qualification campaigns, including defining key technical milestones and building integrated test plans to demonstrate key performance parameters.
- Lead vendor relationships and procurement for major subsystems - turbines, generators, heat exchangers, pipes, pumps, and more
- Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers.
- If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before - keep reading.
- We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, and runs autonomously.
- As our Founding Systems Engineer you'll own the architecture that ties it all together, define the interfaces, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Requirements
- Experience as a systems integrator on complex, multi-discipline hardware programs
- B.S./M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Strong vendor management and technical communication skills - you can run a design review and a supplier negotiation in the same day
Company info
- Serve as the technical bridge to customers, translating their data center requirements into platform-level engineering specs
- You'll also be outward-facing - leading vendor integrations for major equipment and working with customers to ensure our platform meets their requirements.
- We offer generous relocation assistance for candidates across the US.
