Senior Power System Engineer

Rivan Industries () is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground.

We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, whilst vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our entire business plan . We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.

Rivan runs on DC solar. We’re one of the only products that wants a DC electron as far away from an electrical grid as possible. Almost everything on our product depends on a seamless transition of electronics from a panel through to our thermal reactor and electrolyser. We’re on the lookout for a Senior Power System engineer to take the horns of our DC solar array design, remove all the entropy, and make the safety and simplest distribution of electricity possible.

Make sure you’re the engineer that designs the solar power system that enables the transition of every last joule of energy away from fossil sources.
