Remora is hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer who will drive the development of the blower and compressions subsystems in the Remora mobile carbon capture device from concept through production. This role will lead requirement generation, component development, component sourcing, and systems testing, while ensuring design deliverables meet aggressive timelines.

We're building carbon capture for trains and trucks. We generate revenue for railroads and trucking companies by extracting, purifying, and selling CO2 from their exhaust. Our technology can capture up to 90% of the CO2 in the vehicle's exhaust, while also reducing soot, particulate matter, and NOx.

We've partnered with some of the largest railroads and trucking companies, including Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Ryder, and Werner. We've now raised $117 million from prominent investors, including Lowercarbon Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator.

Responsibilities:

• Plan & Develop: Lead design reviews, develop analytical and computational models, and DFMEA/DVP&Rs; including bench and system testing plans, pre-production verification and validation, and design release. Set strategy, delivery, and goals for the teams working on the sub-systems in order to achieve sub-system requirements on an aggressive timeline.
• Execute: Utilizing your unusually strong skills in leadership, communication, ownership, and strategic thinking, drive the research and development of the blower and compression subsystems within the device, in partnership with our subject matter experts and suppliers.
• Grow: Guide less experienced team members in design and decision making while fostering a collaborative and creative environment
• Collaborate: Serve as a point person for the sub-system with other members of the Engineering team and share regular updates on progress with the team.
• Design: Generate requirements and provide design direction and decision making for the blower and compression subsystems based on regulations, existing standards, and new standards created by Remora.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience
• Experience with blowers, industrial compressors, and pressure vessels
• Experience leading a team of engineers to achieve design deliverables
• Experience moving quickly and making decisions with significant uncertainty
• Experience rapidly learning about novel technologies and identifying new technologies for integration into systems
• Experience working closely with suppliers and driving them to aggressive timelines

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with large scale systems including some of the following:
• Including heat exchangers, pumps, valves, instruments, pressure vessels, and associated interconnected piping
• Experience with mobile vehicles, ideally with heavy-duty vehicles in industries such as heavy-duty truck, automotive - specifically diesel engines and exhaust, aeronautical, locomotive, marine
• Experience with the transfer and storage of liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide
• Experience with industrial gas separation, ideally PVSA/TSA gas separation processes
• Experience with P&ID generation and maintenance
• 5+ years of R&D experience working on first-of-its-kind, complex hardware products with short timelines and limited resources
• Experience generating CAD designs, both 3D and 2D, along with CAE/FEA/CFD simulation and analysis

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.
