Company info

  • The open ocean is Earth's largest and most power-dense renewable energy resource.
  • Our mission is to provide abundant and affordable clean energy for everyone.
  • We are rapidly scaling high-power test infrastructure for compute, power electronics, and turbine systems while bringing online state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment across multiple sites.
  • Founded in 2016 and based in the Pacific Northwest, our team comes from diverse backgrounds in aerospace, naval architecture, marine operations, hardware, software, and research.
  • About the Job
  • We are building a core technology designed to operate in the harshest, most unpredictable environments on Earth, the world's oceans.
  • Delivering on this mission requires not only elite engineering talent but a work environment that runs smoothly, scales intelligently, and frees our team to focus on solving impossibly hard problems.
  • We are looking for an Electrical Infrastructure Engineer to serve as the technical authority for the design and evolution of electrical infrastructure across our facilities.
  • This role spans existing operations and new build-outs, covering infrastructure upgrades, new facility diligence, design input, installation, commissioning, and long-term system performance.
  • This is a design-forward role for someone who understands how power infrastructure actually gets delivered today, how to source it, design it, and scale it under real-world constraints.
  • You will develop strategies to unlock megawatt-scale capacity quickly by combining traditional and non-traditional infrastructure approaches.
  • You are comfortable working upstream, shaping electrical architecture, identifying risks early, and translating evolving engineering needs into practical, buildable infrastructure plans that can be executed with quality and speed.
