Job summary

Remanie AI is seeking a Member of Technical Staff to tackle the hardest problems across electrical, mechanical, civil, and compute systems. You’ll help tighten reference designs, test vendor equipment, and collaborate with software on configuration rules and BOM logic.

You’ll direct outside firms and support customer projects from design to field, with scope growing as you demonstrate ownership and impact. Strong cross-discipline ability is essential.

Qualifications

• Degree in engineering or physics or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Proven track record owning hard technical work end-to-end in complex environments.
• Ability to learn quickly across disciplines and communicate clearly.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate across electrical, mechanical, civil, and compute teams to improve reference architectures.
• Address hard open-ended technical problems like cooling approaches and site constraints.
• Evaluate vendors and equipment for standard configurations.
• Work with software engineers to translate engineering judgment into configuration rules and BOM logic.
• Guide outside engineering firms and contractors on specific workstreams.
• Support customer projects from design through field with depth.

Job description

Hiring manager: James Trebesch, Head of Strategic Engineering

Location: Palo Alto, California office (on-site), full-time

The role

Remanie.ai is building software that turns AI data-center requirements into a standardized configuration, a bill of materials, and a solution customers can buy. We then coordinate delivery through outside engineering firms, equipment vendors, and contractors. Data centers are where we're starting, with robotics and advanced industry on the roadmap too.

We're looking for strong engineers who don't fit neatly in one box. Maybe you've worked across power, cooling, compute, and construction. Maybe you've built hardware and written the tools to go with it. You like hard problems, move fast, and care more about getting it right than which discipline owns it.

As a Member of Technical Staff, you'll go wherever the hardest problem is: tightening a reference design, pressure-testing a vendor's equipment, working with our software team on configuration logic, or jumping into a customer project that needs another sharp engineer. Scope grows with what you show you can own.

What you'll do

• Work across electrical, mechanical, civil, and compute systems to improve our reference architectures and design standards.


• Take on hard, open-ended technical problems: a new cooling approach, a tricky site constraint, an equipment choice that changes cost or schedule.


• Evaluate vendors and equipment, and help decide what goes into our standard configurations.


• Partner closely with software engineers to turn engineering judgment into configuration rules, BOM logic, and tools.


• Direct outside engineering firms and contractors on specific workstreams.


• Support customer projects when they need extra technical depth, from early design through the field.


• Help shape how Strategic Engineering works as the team grows.

What we're looking for

• A strong engineering foundation, through a degree in engineering or physics, or equivalent hands-on experience.


• A track record of owning hard technical work end to end, in data centers, energy, aerospace, semiconductors, heavy industry, or similar.


• Comfort working across disciplines and learning new systems quickly.


• Good judgment under ambiguity: you can make a call with incomplete information and know when to dig deeper.


• Clear communication with engineers, vendors, customers, and software teams.


• Interest in working closely with software engineers. Coding isn't required, but it helps.

Nice to have

• Experience at a fast-moving hardware company or on large infrastructure builds.


• Hands-on work with power distribution, liquid cooling, or high-density compute.


• Scripting or data skills (Python, SQL, or similar) you use to move faster.

Compensation and benefits

Base salary: $170,000–$275,000, depending on experience and scope, plus significant equity. We also offer medical, dental and vision coverage, flexible PTO, daily meals, and whatever AI tools you need.
