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: Lead design and architecture of AC power systems, including low-, medium-, and high-voltage distribution (480V–15kV), grounding, protection, and system integration. Develop single-line diagrams and perform system studies (load flow, short-circuit, arc flash, protection coordination). Define and implement protection strategies, including relay selection, settings, and coordination. Design and integrate generator systems (1–5 MW), including synchronization, paralleling, and load sharing. Specify and integrate switchgear, transformers, breakers, and utility interconnections. Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E, and other applicable standards. Lead installation, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting of high-voltage systems. Lead utility interconnection efforts, including compliance with IEEE 1547 and regulatory requirements. Collaborate cross-functionally and with external partners (utilities, EPCs, vendors) to deliver integrated systems. Mentor engineers and help establish scalable design standards and engineering processes. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. 7+ years of experience in industrial AC power systems. Experience with medium- and high-voltage systems (480V–15kV), including 480V 3-phase distribution. Experience integrating MW-scale generator systems (1–5 MW). Strong background in power system studies (load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc flash). Hands-on experience with protective relays (selection, settings, commissioning). Experience with utility interconnection and IEEE 1547 compliance. Knowledge of NFPA 70E and industrial electrical safety practices. Proven experience leading complex electrical systems as a technical owner or lead. 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 a
