Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.\nThe 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.\nOur staff have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing, Tesla, Apple, Virgin Orbit, Astra, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries.\nAbout the Job\nOur 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.\nPanthalassa is expanding across multiple sites to support manufacturing, testing, and land-based compute payloads for qualification and testing. That means developing sites from greenfield with no existing power, or scaling an initial 0.5 - 1.5 MW supply to 2 MW, then 10 MW, 30 MW, or more-often on timelines shorter than utilities typically deliver.\nGetting power is now one of the main factors in where and when we can operate.\nAs our Senior Power Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the path to power for every site. You’ll work directly with PGE, Pacific Power, and public utility districts across the Pacific Northwest to secure new and upgraded service. You’ll build credible load forecasts, find faster paths when utility timelines don’t fit, and give leadership the information to make site and capital decisions with confidence. You’ll be the person across the table from the utility and the person in the room when executives decide where to build.\nThis role is focused on utility service and site-level power, not equipment installation or in-plant electrical work. Once new service is energized, our Senior Facilities Electrical Engineer takes ownership of the distribution system inside the building.\nCandidates should have strong interpersonal skills and be able to thrive in a creative, scrappy, and collaborative environment in which the best ideas change the company’s direction on a regular basis.\nResponsibilities\nOwn Panthalassa’s relationships with electric utilities and serve as the primary technical and commercial point of contact for load requests, studies, service agreements, cost allocation, schedules, and energization.\nLead service upgrades and new service connections from initial capacity inquiry through energization, including customer-owned medium-voltage equipment and substations where needed.\nBuild phased site-level load forecasts with compute, manufacturing, testing, and operations teams, using measured demand data from Facilities and plans that are still changing.\nDevelop and compare paths to power, weighing capacity, cost, lead time, risk, and future growth. Include interim options such as temporary generation, mobile substations, and energy storage when utility timelines don’t fit.\nAssess power availability for prospective sites during site selection and due diligence, including utility capacity, upgrade requirements, likely cost, and realistic timelines.\nReview utility proposals, studies, agreements, rate schedules, and cost estimates. Push back where terms, scope, or timelines don’t serve Panthalassa.\nDefine scope and requirements for major service upgrades, and direct engineers of record, landlords, and contractors through design and delivery.\nTrack power availability, utility commitments, equipment lead times, and key decisions across all sites and prospective properties.\nPresent power options, risks, and recommendations to executives and finance so they can make timely site and capital decisions.\nRequired Qualifications\nA degree in electrical engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience delivering utility-scale or large commercial/industrial power infrastructure.\nPersonally led at least one utility service upgrade or new service connection of roughly 5 MW or more, from initial request through energization.\nDirect experience working with utility engineering and account teams on load studies, service or line extension agreements, cost allocation, and schedules.\nWorking knowledge of medium-voltage service, utility transformers, switchgear, metering, and the interface between utility infrastructure and customer-owned equipment.\nAbility to build and defend load forecasts when equipment plans, operating profiles, and future uses are still changing.\nExperience presenting technical options and tradeoffs on cost, schedule, and risk to executives, finance, or other non-electrical decision-makers.\nDesired Qualifications\nExperience developing greenfield sites or upgrading existing service, then scaling power capacity from no supply or an initial 0.5-1.5 MW to 2 - 100 MW scale.\nExperience at or with an electric utility, for example in key accounts, distribution planning, or large-load interconnection.\nExperience with data centers, semiconductor fabs, or other power-intensive industrial sites.\nExperience with interim or bridge power, such as temporary generation, mobile substations, or battery storage.\nExperience supporting site selection or due diligence across a portfolio of properties.\nFamiliarity with utility tariffs, rate schedules, and large-load requirements in the Pacific Northwest.\nProfessional Engineer licensure.\nThe above qualifications are desired, not required. We encourage you to apply if you are a strong candidate with only some of the desired skills and experience listed.\nAdditional Requirements\nTravel to vendors and test sites as needed\nIntermittently able to work longer hours and weekends to support critical needs. While we expect a lot of each other, we also offer a high degree of autonomy and work-life balance, including flexible PTO and flexible working hours.\nCompensation and Benefits\nIf hired for this full-time role, you will receive:\nCash compensation of $175,000 - $225,000.\nEquity in the company. We’re all owners and if we’re successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.\nA benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including:Flexible paid time off\nHealth insurance (the company pays 100% of gold-level PPO plan for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)\nDental insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)\nVision insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)\nDisability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long-term financial support if you become disabled)\nAbility to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts, including 401(k), health FSA, and dependent care FSA\n\nRelocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).\nLocation\nThis is an on-site position. Our offices, lab, and shop are located in Portland, Oregon.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7385,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Dental insurance","Equity","Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Relocation assistance","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Data Centers & Colocation","Marine & Ocean Engineering","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T05:51:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/panthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/panthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T10:12:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14833,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":10611},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=10611"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpanthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpanthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpanthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/panthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpanthalassa-senior-power-infrastructure-engineer"}]}
