About the Job Our core technology is the Node, a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.

Required Qualifications: - 5+ years of experience managing technical development programs, including directly coordinating major events such as first time integration, test campaign execution, or commissioning activities. - Proven track record of leading cross-functional teams to meet aggressive program timelines. - Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals relevant to marine systems (welded structures, mechanical assemblies, hydraulics/pneumatics, industrial automation & data acquisition, etc.) - Experience coordinating with external vendors and fabrication partners. - Familiarity with change management systems and configuration control processes. - Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership. - Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic, and highly collaborative environment.

Additional Requirements: - Ability to travel as needed for site visits and partner engagements. - Intermittently able to work longer hours and weekends to support critical needs. While we expect a lot of each other, we also offer a high degree of autonomy and work-life balance, including unlimited PTO and flexible working hours. - Ability to travel offshore periodically to support initial commissioning and first use of new equipment. - Must be authorized to work in the United States. Compensation and Benefits: If hired for this full-time role, you will receive: - Cash compensation of $150,000 -190,000 - Equity in the company.
