Key skills for this role
Our core technology is the node, a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention.
As an Electronics Engineering Technician, you will build, rework, test, troubleshoot, and maintain the electrical hardware that goes into our nodes and test systems.
The work ranges from circuit card assembly and rework to cable harnesses, sensors, microcontrollers, power systems, and depth-rated enclosures.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable building and reworking electronics, integrating systems, conducting tests, documenting results, and maintaining a well-organized electronics workspace.
Good work in this role means building hardware carefully, identifying problems early, documenting what you learn, and helping engineers get reliable systems into the field.
We are a renewable energy and ocean technology company committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.
The company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and backed by leading venture capitalists, philanthropic investors, university endowments, and private investment offices. We operate as an idea meritocracy in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.
