Deputy Node Lead
Panthalassa , Portland, OR +1
The 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. The node is a first-of-its-kind system integrating mechanical structures, electrical power, embedded controls, software, data, operations, and ocean deployment realities. There are few precedents and no roadmaps.
As Deputy Node Lead, you will serve as a trusted strategic and execution partner to the Vice President of Node Program and help lead our largest technical program through its next stages of growth. This is a director-level role in scope, impact, and expectation. The current Node leadership team brings deep mechanical engineering expertise and strong program planning discipline; this role complements that leadership with additional technical breadth — ideally in electrical systems, embedded software, controls, systems engineering, integration and test, or software-enabled hardware programs.
