Senior Power Delivery Engineer

Endurance is building the world’s first modular subsea geothermal power plants, converting vast thermal resources under the ocean into gigawatts of baseload power. Backed by Founders Fund, Felicis, First Round Capital, and Point72 Ventures, our founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Helion, Blue Origin, and Apple. We have completed multiple deep-ocean deployments to subsea volcanoes and are launching a long-term demonstration project this fall. By leveraging modular design, manufacturing scale, efficient drilling, and latent cooling on the seafloor, we are pioneering a new category of energy that outperforms traditional sources on environmental impact, deployment speed, and cost.

As Senior Power Delivery Engineer at Endurance, you will own the technical execution required to deliver electricity from our subsea geothermal power plants to the customer. From selecting transmission architectures and procuring subsea export cables to commissioning substations and energizing commercial projects, you will ensure nothing stands between our turbines and revenue.

This is not a traditional project management role. You will own the engineering decisions, supplier relationships, procurement, and field execution required to connect our power plants to the grid. You will work closely with our electrical engineering team to determine how power should be transmitted, evaluate technologies and vendors, and drive every aspect of implementation from concept through commissioning.

We believe power delivery is one of the highest leverage engineering functions at the company. Designing an extraordinary power plant is only valuable if we can reliably and economically deliver electricity to customers. Your job is to own that problem end to end.

You will work directly with electrical, mechanical, drilling, offshore operations, supply chain, and leadership teams to develop the infrastructure required for our first commercial deployments. In the near term, that means selecting transmission architectures, procuring subsea export cables, designing and commissioning grid interconnections, managing horizontal directional drilling from shore to offshore, developing onshore electrical infrastructure, and coordinating utility integration.

As Endurance scales from demonstration systems to commercial power plants around the world, you will define the architecture and execution strategy that connects our offshore generation assets to utility grids across multiple countries. Every commercial project we deploy will build on the technical foundation you establish.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional engineer who enjoys taking ownership of complex multidisciplinary problems. You should be equally comfortable evaluating transmission topologies, discussing protection philosophy with electrical engineers, negotiating with cable suppliers, reviewing contractor drawings, walking a construction site, and solving whatever technical problems arise to keep a project moving.

You will be one the first engineer dedicated to power delivery at Endurance. You will work directly with the founding team and engineering leadership, and as the organization grows, you will have significant influence over our electrical infrastructure strategy, supplier ecosystem, and commercial deployment capability.
