Job Description

Endurance Energy Seattle WA

Endurance is developing modular seafloor geothermal power plants that harness the vast thermal energy beneath the ocean floor to provide gigawatts of clean reliable energy. Were addressing the critical power bottleneck facing AI infrastructure development while creating a path toward energy independence and decarbonization across the globe.

Backed by premier venture capital firms including First Round Capital and Point72 Ventures our exceptional founding team includes veterans from SpaceX (Dragon and Starship programs) and Neuralink with specialized expertise in complex thermal and fluid systems.

Were seeking a talented Thermal and Fluids Systems Engineer to join our team at our headquarters in Seattle where youll help design and develop the core power cycle for our revolutionary seafloor generators.

The Role

As a Founding Thermal and Fluids Systems Engineer at Endurance youll be a key early member of our team building the power generation cycle at the heart of our subsea geothermal power plants. You will rapidly design test and optimize the components of a compact power cycle playing a pivotal role in bringing this novel energy system from concept to reality. This role focuses primarily on systems engineering and the integration of proven components into robust field-ready systems but also requires the flexibility creativity and entrepreneurial mindset essential to an early-stage startup. Youll work across multiple technical domains and help shape the foundation of our energy systems as the company scales.

Your first major project will be the design build and testing of a 100kWe compact power cycle at our site in Seattle. This full-scale loop will validate the performance and reliability of our core power generation technology in a controlled land-based environment before it is packaged for subsea deployment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the thermal-fluid design of new power cycle architectures and components including turbines heat exchangers pumps condensers and piping systems.

  • Assemble operate and validate a 100kw scale thermodynamic power cycle test loop

  • Design and build test rigs for component and system testing.

  • Carry out detailed analysis and component optimization using numerical simulation tools.

  • Support the design of other mission critical systems such as geothermal and hydrothermal heat exchangers and deep sea vehicles.

  • Support business development activities including supplier meetings technical presentations and customer interactions

  • Help establish system engineering and modelling tools processes and documentation for future team growth

  • Skilled in CFD and numerical simulation tools for fluid flow and heat transfer analysis (e.g. ANSYS Fluent OpenFOAM)

  • Hands-on experience setting up instrumenting and operating experimental test rigs and facilities

  • Familiarity with basic mechanical design and manufacturing processes including CAD-based design and prototyping

  • Bonus - Experience in either marine systems power generation geothermal energy or supercritical fluids

Benefits & Perks

  • Global Fieldwork: Travel to fascinating deployment sites along oceanic ridges in locations like the Pacific Northwest Hawaii Iceland Japan New Zealand and the Azores

  • Hands-on Experience: Participate in sea trials and deployment operations in partnership with leading oceanographic institutions

  • Cutting-Edge Development: Work with technology that spans high-power electronics marine systems and clean energy

  • Impact-Driven Work: Help solve one of the worlds most pressing challenges - clean reliable power generation

  • Competitive Compensation: Comprehensive salary and equity packages
