Job Description

Remora is hiring a Test Engineer who will lead test method development, test planning, and test operations for assessing Remora device and vehicle performance. The test engineer will work with design engineers on test plans that evaluate performance and troubleshoot problems for individual subsystems, will ensure safety around device and truck operation, and will drive a semi truck for on-road testing, all while helping to tackle the defining challenge of our time.
We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We build a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We sell the CO2 to end-users, and split that revenue with our customers, so our device pays for itself in just a couple years. 
We’re piloting our technology with some of the largest companies in the world, including three of the Fortune 10, and we’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from leading investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, and First Round Capital.

Responsibilities:

  • The position requires applying component and vehicle level test expertise on the Remora carbon capture system
  • Lead and support the prototype development process while working individually or with small teams consisting of Remora system leads, program managers, and technicians
  • Implement and prepare new testing processes, test plans, and final reports

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of relevant work experience, particularly in vehicle-level testing
  • Understanding of vehicle dynamics
  • Experience with planning and executing large-scale in-field tests
  • Experience with component-level testing
  • 3+ years with data analysis (Excel / Matlab) & data acquisition systems
  • Able to compile test requirements from various subsystems into executable test plans
  • 3+ years with instrumentation (acceleration, pressure, temperature, and flow)
  • Experience gathering CAN signals
  • Ability to interact with external customers and develop strong professional relationships

Good to have:

  • Vehicle logistics (loading and unloading, vehicle recovery, and trailers)
  • Skilled trades (mechanical, light fabrication, hand tools)
  • Knowledge of chassis and engine dynamometer

Here’s what we value

  • You want to join a fast-paced, fast-growing startup.
  • You care deeply about reducing carbon emissions and building power for the historically excluded communities that will be most affected by those emissions.
  • You fully own projects, and you identify and solve problems through completion. 
  • You adapt to change, and you appreciate failures as learning opportunities, constructively sharing them with your teammates.
  • You improve your teammates’ performance through collaboration. You consistently pursue personal and professional growth for yourself and your teammates.
  • You voice respectful disagreement and provide high-quality constructive feedback. You’re an effective and active listener, and a clear and concise communicator.

Logistics:

  • Location: Wixom, MI
  • Start date: June 2022
  • COVID-19: Remora requires all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Applicants are required to submit proof of vaccination prior to beginning employment. Appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions are implemented in the workplace.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Competitive salaries (adjusted for geography) and equity ownership
  • Healthcare (QSEHRA)
  • Retirement (401k)
  • Student loan assistance
  • Four weeks of paid time off
  • Dependent care assistance (childcare or eldercare)
  • Parental leave
  • Unlimited sick and compassionate leave
  • Employee development and coaching
  • Relocation stipend

Climate change disproportionately impacts communities of color, so we’re looking for candidates deeply committed to reducing emissions and to racial justice. We especially encourage people of color, women, and members of other communities historically excluded in startups to apply.
Research shows that women and people of color are less likely to think they are qualified for a position after reading a list of requirements like the one above. If you are worried that you are not qualified, please apply anyway! We’re most excited to work with people who learn quickly and want to tackle the climate crisis.
