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.
Minimum Requirements:
- 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:
- Industrial, Bio-Pharma, Oil & Gas, Modular Process Skid Design,
- 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

What We Do
We're building a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We'll sell the CO2 to end-users, and share that revenue with our customers, so our device will create a new revenue stream for our customers while reducing their emissions.
