Electrical Infrastructure Engineer

About The Role

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.

Responsibilities

• Develop hybrid approaches to delivering MW-scale power (utility, temporary service, generation, storage), understanding technical requirements and thinking from first principles to identify creative solutions that meet those requirements
• Define paths to capacity (near-term vs. long-term) across cost, schedule, and constraints
• Work directly with utilities and partners to shape power delivery strategy
• Translate evolving load requirements into credible power ramp plans
• Identify constraints and design around them with practical, buildable solutions
• Develop strategies to unlock megawatt-scale capacity quickly by combining traditional and non-traditional infrastructure approaches

Requirements

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 5–10+ years in industrial, manufacturing, or R&D environments
• Experience with medium-voltage systems, utility interconnection, or large power upgrades
• Strong background in electrical distribution systems and load calculations
• Experience leading contractors and driving execution
• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause capability
• Working knowledge of electrical safety standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA)

Preferred

• Experience developing non-traditional or hybrid power solutions
• Direct experience working with utilities
• Experience with on-site generation, microgrids, or phased builds
• PE or EIT certification
• Experience with power system modeling tools
• Background in high-growth R&D or prototype environments

Work Environment

This is a full-time, onsite role at our Portland, OR facility. The work involves regular time on the shop floor, in mechanical and electrical rooms, and in active construction or buildout environments. Candidates should be comfortable working alongside engineers, technicians, and contractors in a hands-on industrial setting.

Compensation And Benefits

• Cash compensation of $160,000 - $210,000 annually, depending on experience, qualifications, and background
• Equity in the company. We’re all owners and if we’re successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.
• A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including:
• Flexible paid time off
• Health insurance (the company pays 100% of gold level PPO plan for full time employees, their partners, and dependents)
• Dental insurance (the company pays 100% for full time employees and 100% for their partners and dependents)
• Vision insurance (the company pays 100% for full time employees, their partners, and dependents)
• Disability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long term financial support if you become disabled)
• Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).

Location

This is an on-site position. Our offices, lab, and shop are located in Portland, Oregon.
