Full Job Description

ABOUT ENDURANCE Endurance is developing modular seafloor geothermal power plants that harness the vast thermal energy beneath the ocean floor to provide gigawatts of clean, reliable energy. We're addressing the critical power bottleneck facing AI infrastructure development while creating a path toward energy independence and decarbonization across the globe. Backed by premier venture capital firms including First Round Capital and Point72 Ventures, our exceptional founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Robinhood, Helion, and Neuralink, with specialized expertise in complex thermal and fluid systems and business development. What You'll Be Doing We’re seeking a Senior Power Electronics Engineer to architect and own electrical power systems that enable subsea generation, conditioning, and delivery of energy to shore. This is a foundational role. You will design power architectures from first principles, develop and release high-reliability PCBAs, and drive systems from early concept through offshore deployment. You will own everything from topology selection and magnetics design to layout, thermal management, EMI control, validation testing, and field performance. If a converter fails at depth, you will understand why and ensure it does not fail again. You will blend deep theoretical expertise in power electronics with hands-on experience shipping hardware. This is not a simulation-only role. We are looking for someone who has personally selected topologies, designed magnetics, laid out high-power PCBAs, brought up boards in the lab, debugged switching noise and instability, and driven designs through revision cycles into production. You understand the difference between a stable model and a converter operating at full load in a harsh electrical and thermal environment. You will own the full PCBA lifecycle from architecture and schematic capture through layout review, fabrication, bring-up, validation testing, design iteration, and field performance analysis. Yo
