Subsea Geothermal for Energy Abundance. Backed by First Round Capital.
About the role
Every watt the plant produces passes through electromechanical hardware. The power electronics live on the seafloor, so they are packaged in pressure-compensated, fluid-filled housings, cooled by seawater, and connected to the rest of the plant through high-power busswork and wet-mate and dry-mate connectors we design in-house. Every valve the plant actuates and every mechanism that moves is driven by subsea actuators and motors. We design, build, test, and deploy all of it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related engineering discipline
- 6+ years of professional experience designing electromechanical hardware (connectors, actuators, mechanisms, or electronics packaging) for demanding environments
- Ownership of at least one electromechanical component from concept through qualification and fielded use
- Experience designing subsea electrical connectors, penetrators, busswork, or actuators, or equivalent experience with spacecraft mechanisms, downhole tools, or power electronics packaging for aerospace or automotive
- Hands-on experience with dielectric fluids, pressure compensation, and sealing high voltage against seawater
- Experience with dynamic and rotating seals, magnetic couplings, and the failure modes of mechanisms in long-duration service
More about this role
Endurance is building the world's first modular subsea geothermal power plants, converting vast thermal resources under the ocean into gigawatts of baseload power. Backed by Founders Fund, Felicis, First Round Capital, and Point72 Ventures, our founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Helion, Blue Origin, and Apple. We have completed multiple deep-ocean deployments to subsea volcanoes and are launching a long-term demonstration project this fall. By leveraging modular design, manufacturing scale, efficient drilling, and latent cooling on the seafloor, we are pioneering a new category of energy that outperforms traditional sources on environmental impact, deployment speed, and cost.
