About The Position

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 $150 million in funding from top investors including Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.

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.

Nice To Haves

Experience with generator integration, MW-scale systems, medium/high-voltage equipment, or utility interconnection preferred.
