Principal Electrical Engineer (High Voltage Systems)

Remora is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead the architecture, design, and deployment of high-power AC electrical systems supporting industrial generation and distribution infrastructure. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with full ownership of electrical system strategy, high-voltage AC design, and technical execution from concept through commissioning. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in 480V 3-phase industrial power, medium- and high-voltage distribution systems, and integration of 1–5 MW generator installations. You are equally comfortable defining system architecture and rolling up your sleeves—performing detailed power studies, developing schematics, guiding protection strategies, and troubleshooting complex high-voltage installations in the field. We're building modular carbon capture systems for vehicles — 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 tax credits or carbon credits. We've signed up some of the largest companies in the world to pilot our technology, including iconic multibillion-dollar brands, top trucking companies, and some of the most recognizable Fortune 100 companies. We’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from top investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners. Responsibilities: Plan Develop Own electrical projects from concept through commissioning. Define scalable AC power distribution architectures for industrial environments. Develop technical scope, schedules, budgets, and resource plans. Adapt system designs to evolving regulatory, utility, and site-specific requirements, including utility interconnection constraints. Establish and maintain internal standards for medium- and high-voltage AC system design, validation, and safety. Strengthen organizational capability by identifying technical gaps and elevating team expertise. Design Lead the architecture and design of AC power systems, including low-, medium-, and high-voltage distribution (typical ranges spanning 480V–15kV, including 4.16kV and 13.8kV class systems), protection schemes, grounding strategies, and system integration. Develop single line diagrams and perform load flow, short-circuit, arc flash, and protection coordination studies, including incident energy analysis and mitigation strategies. Define and implement protection relay strategy, including relay selection, settings development, and programming for coordinated system protection. Develop generator integration strategies including paralleling, synchronization, load sharing, and protection for 1–5 MW natural gas or diesel systems. Design and integrate switchgear, transformers, breakers, isolation equipment, and utility interconnections. Ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes and standards, including NFPA 70E, NEC, IEEE, and other relevant safety and regulatory requirements. Drive structured design reviews and establish scalable engineering documentation standards. Grow Lead complex industrial AC power projects involving medium- and high-voltage systems. Deliver measurable impact through ownership of MW-scale generator and high-voltage deployments. Mentor and develop junior engineers and technical staff. Build scalable electrical design standards and engineering processes. Continuously improve system safety, reliability, and performance. Stay current on emerging technologies and evolving high-voltage industry standards. Collaborate Partner cross-functionally with mechanical, controls, and manufacturing teams to deliver fully integrated systems. Provide technical leadership on installation sequencing and commissioning strategy. Work directly with utilities, EPC firms, and equipment vendors to develop compliant system designs aligned with regulatory and safety standards. Lead utility ...
