Systems Engineer

Drogue is building the worlds first offshore floating data centers. Were a small team tackling a massive first-of-its-kind engineering challenge. If you thrive in ambiguity love hard problems and want to build something thats never been built before keep reading.

Were not putting servers on a barge. Were engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power recovers its own waste heat stays on station in severe weather and runs autonomously. This requires a mix of first principles engineering and existing technology from other industries.

Youre an integrator. Our platform is a tightly coupled system of electrical mechanical and thermodynamic subsystems that all have to work together in a harsh remote environment. As a Systems Engineer youll own the architecture that ties it all together define the interfaces and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Youll also be outward-facing leading vendor integrations for major equipment and working with customers to ensure our platform meets their requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own the system architecture that integrates electrical mechanical and thermodynamic subsystems into a coherent platform

• Establish interface control documents system requirements and execute test & qualification campaigns including defining key technical milestones and building integrated test plans to demonstrate key performance parameters.

• Lead vendor relationships and procurement for major subsystems: turbines generators heat exchangers pipes pumps and more

• Serve as the technical bridge to customers translating their data center requirements into platform-level engineering specs

Qualifications:

• B.S./M.S. in Systems Engineering Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering or related field

• Experience as a systems integrator on complex multi-discipline hardware programs

• Strong vendor management and technical communication skills: you can run a design review and a supplier negotiation in the same day
