The posting

Remora is seeking a Director of Electrical Engineering to lead the design and execution of electrical systems for our industrial carbon capture products. This hands-on leader will build and develop the electrical engineering function while providing technical direction across product development, deployment, and commissioning. Experience with industrial power systems, 480V three-phase power, generator integration, and medium- or high-voltage systems is highly valued.

We’re building modular carbon capture systems, turning exhaust into beverage-grade CO₂ sold to breweries and greenhouses. We deploy in regions facing severe CO₂ shortages, where prices are highest, allowing us to generate high margins without relying on tax credits or carbon credits.

We’ve raised over $115 million in funding from top investors including Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and grow the Electrical Engineering function while remaining hands-on in design, troubleshooting, and technical decision-making.
  • Own electrical design, architecture, and engineering execution from concept through production, deployment, and commissioning.
  • Design and integrate industrial electrical systems, including power generation & distribution, controls, instrumentation, motors, panels, and generator systems.
  • Develop and review schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and electrical system designs.
  • Perform and oversee electrical studies, protection strategies, and power system analysis, including load flow, short-circuit, and arc flash.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership across 480V three-phase power, grounding, protection, and medium/high-voltage systems.
  • Work directly with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, EPCs, utilities, and field teams to resolve technical issues and deliver systems.
  • Support electrical field testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of complex electrical systems.
  • Establish practical design standards and ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and other applicable standards.
  • Drive improvements in electrical system reliability, manufacturability, cost, and serviceability.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 10+ years of electrical engineering experience with complex industrial, energy, or electromechanical systems.
  • Experience leading engineering teams while remaining hands-on.
  • Strong background in industrial electrical systems, power distribution, controls, and electrical architecture.
  • Experience with 480V three-phase systems, schematics, and electrical system analysis.
  • Experience taking systems from R&D/concept through manufacturing, commissioning, and field deployment.
  • Experience with generator integration, MW-scale systems, medium/high-voltage equipment, or utility interconnection preferred.

Here’s what we value:

  • Mission First: We are laser-focused on our mission. We have chosen to take on the defining challenge of our time, and we don’t shy away from the hard decisions required to put our mission first, no matter how tough. The world needs our technology and it won’t happen any time soon if we don’t make it happen. We are a low-ego team, and we prioritize the mission over our self-interest. We think strategically with an eye to the long term, and we clearly separate what must be done well now, and what can be improved later, despite ambiguity.
  • Burning Urgency: Our hard-core intensity and work ethic match the crisis we’re in. We have a strong bias toward action, and we execute with focus and speed. In the absence of guidance, we take charge, lead our teammates, and accomplish our goals. We aren’t afraid to change course when something isn’t working, and we find solutions even when it seems like there are none. We are cool under pressure, and our quiet determination and drive are unwavering. We relentlessly push ourselves and each other to improve. We don’t accept adequate performance. Excellence is the expectation. Many would say our standards are unreasonably high, and many would say our goals are unreasonably bold, but we are hungry to be exceptional. We will never give up, no matter what. If we get knocked down, we get back up, every time. We will not fail.
  • Uncompromising Honesty: We are always honest with ourselves, our teammates, our customers, our investors, our suppliers, our communities, and all of our partners, especially about what’s not going well and what we don’t know. When we see issues, risks, or challenges, we speak up, and when we make mistakes, we admit them proactively and take full accountability. We challenge others directly when we disagree, even when it’s uncomfortable, and we seek this uncompromising honesty from others.
  • Treat People Exceptionally Well: We care intensely about everyone who is on this mission with us, and our standard is exceptional respect for our teammates, partners, and communities. Teammates who bring different perspectives and backgrounds are essential to our success, and we empower everyone to share their voice. We listen to truly understand. We constantly encourage and help our teammates, and inspire each other with our enthusiasm and optimism.
  • Joyful Curiosity: We love to learn, and we learn quickly. We explore the unknown with wonder and excitement. We reason from first principles. We generate original ideas with an open mind and test them quickly in the real world. We take risks and adapt as we discover more. We explore many ideas in parallel, and we don’t count on a silver bullet solution. We share our ideas freely with our teammates. We are skeptical about conventional wisdom, and we question every assumption and requirement. We are always looking for ways to simplify. We are rigorous and attentive to detail. We are eager to understand all aspects of our business and technology, and we contribute effectively outside our individual specialties. We never stop learning.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
