Seattle-based Oscilla Power, Inc. (OPI) is looking for a Mechanical Systems Engineer with experience designing large complex systems, ideally for the marine environment. They would contribute to a small but growing team working on the commercialization of marine renewable energy. At OPI we are currently executing several US Department of Energy funded projects aimed at demonstrating and validating our ocean wave energy technology. We are looking for an individual who is driven and excited to work on a complex, multi-disciplinary engineering challenge, while also making significant strides towards reducing carbon emissions and creating a cleaner environment.
The successful applicant will have experience designing large and complex mechanical systems and will have an awareness of offshore marine operations. Ideally, they will have real-world experience designing systems for extended use in a saltwater environment. The role will primarily focus on the mechanical and hydraulic systems of Oscilla’s wave energy systems, working with our internal team and a wide range of partners. Their input will touch all aspects of the system, including the hull, drivetrain, ballast systems, and other unique parts of the system.
The ideal candidate will therefore have an exemplary engineering background in a relevant mechanical specialization. They should be able to demonstrate a record of effective communication (both verbally and written) and ideally will have experience executing deliverable-driven projects, including developing schedules and managing resources.
Your contribution will make a significant impact on the company’s future success and as a result there is a competitive reimbursement package, along with stock options and full benefits, such as health, vision, dental, 401k, and an attractive PTO policy
