Our core technology is a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.  We are using these devices to satisfy rising demand for compute with a cleaner, more scalable, and lower cost solution than anything available on land.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own the complete mechanical lifecycle—from whiteboard to waves—of enclosures and mechanical assemblies for electronic hardware that must withstand extreme loads and the harsh ocean environment.  This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will collaborate closely with computer engineers, power electronics engineers, thermal engineers, firmware engineers, and other mechanical engineers to deliver reliable assemblies that hold up to saltwater, vibration, shock, and time—while being manufacturable, cost-effective, and elegant in their simplicity.

The person who thrives in this role is both a technical expert and a pragmatic builder—comfortable doing everything from drawing detailed GD&T specs in NX to building and testing a prototype with their own hands.

Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to thrive in a creative, scrappy, and collaborative environment in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis. If you are an excellent engineer, regardless of your background, we want you to apply. Our staff have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Stoke, Boeing, Virgin Orbit, Virgin Galactic, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, Bridgewater Associates, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries. We are organized as a public benefit corporation and are backed by leading venture capital firms, private investors, philanthropic investors, and endowments.

We strive to be the best engineering team on the planet and we compensate our engineers accordingly.

We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.

The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.
