Remora is an early-stage climate tech startup, turning 2 million semi-trucks into carbon removal devices backed by Chris Sacca and Y Combinator. Our device captures the carbon emissions from semi-trucks. We sell the captured carbon dioxide to concrete producers and other end users, helping companies earn new revenue while meeting their climate commitments.&nbsp;
To date, 38% of the Fortune Global 500 have pledged to slash their emissions. For many of these companies, there is no way to meet these commitments without cutting supply chain emissions from semi-trucks.
That&rsquo;s why many of the world&rsquo;s largest fleets have signed up to use our technology. We&rsquo;re working with top trucking companies and some of the world's most recognizable Fortune 100 companies.&nbsp;
Our work aims to develop, implement, and research engineering practices, designs, and methods that support social and environmental justice.
Our founders include a former EPA scientist who pioneered mobile carbon capture during her Ph.D., and a former diesel mechanic turned engineer who built electric semi-trucks for some of the world&rsquo;s largest automotive companies.

Senior Mechanical Engineer (Steam Systems)

&nbsp;Remora is hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer who will drive the development of several key thermal subsystems in the Remora mobile carbon capture device from concept through production. This hands-on role will lead requirement generation, component development, component sourcing, and systems testing, while ensuring design deliverables meet aggressive timelines.&nbsp;We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. 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 while reducing their emissions.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Responsibilities:&nbsp;Plan &amp; Develop&nbsp;<ul><li>Use leadership, communication, ownership, and strategic thinking skills to drive the research and development of thermal and fluid flow subsystems within the Remora device, working closely with subject matter experts and suppliers.</li><li>Define strategy, delivery milestones, and goals for subsystem teams to meet technical and timeline requirements.&nbsp;</li></ul>Execute:&nbsp;<ul><li>Lead design reviews and develop analytical and computational models, DFMEAs, and DVP&amp;Rs, including bench and system testing plans, pre-production verification and validation, and design release activities.</li><li>Participate directly in hands-on build, testing, and refinement of development designs and hardware to ensure performance and reliability.&nbsp;</li></ul>Collaborate:&nbsp;<ul><li>Serve as the primary point of contact for the subsystem, coordinating with cross-functional Engineering team members and providing regular updates on progress, risks, and key decisions.&nbsp;</li></ul>Grow:&nbsp;<ul><li>Mentor and support less experienced engineers in design and decision-making while fostering a collaborative and innovative team environment.&nbsp;</li></ul>Design:&nbsp;<ul><li>Define system requirements and provide design direction for steam systems, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, and other key hardware components based on regulations, existing standards, and new standards developed by Remora.&nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;Requirements:&nbsp;<ul><li>Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related field</li><li>10+ years of mechanical engineering experience</li><li>Experience with steam systems and/or boilers design, ideally in a heat recovery application.</li><li>Experience in sizing, selecting, and sourcing heat exchangers, valves, pumps, piping, and supporting electro-mechanical hardware for the system.</li><li>Experience in design and/or sourcing of ASME Section 8 pressure vessels, including pressure relief devices.</li><li>Experience leading a team of engineers to achieve design deliverables in an R&amp;D environment</li><li>Experience moving quickly and making decisions with significant uncertainty</li><li>Experience rapidly learning about novel technologies and identifying new technologies for integration into systems</li><li>Experience working closely with suppliers and driving them to aggressive timelines&nbsp;</li></ul>Logistics:<ul><li>Location: Wixom, MI</li><li>Start date: Immediately.</li></ul>Compensation and Benefits:<ul><li>Salary: $140,000 - $200,000</li><li>Competitive Stock Options</li><li>Healthcare (Aetna)</li><li>Dental</li><li>Vision</li><li>Retirement (401k)</li><li>Student loan assistance</li><li>Three Weeks of paid time off</li><li>Eleven Holidays off&nbsp;</li><li>Dependent care assistance (childcare or eldercare)</li><li>Parental leave</li><li>Unlimited sick and compassionate leave</li><li>Employee development and coaching</li><li>Office setup (remote) or relocation (in-person) stipend</li></ul><div>Studies show that many qualified candidates hesitate to apply unless they meet every listed qualification.
