Remora is hiring an Engineering Manager II who will build and manage a team of mechanical engineers responsible for a key sub-system in the Remora device.

We’re a 50-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We build a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We sell the CO2 to end-users, and split that revenue with our customers, so our device pays for itself in just a couple years.
We’re piloting our technology with some of the largest companies in the world, including three of the Fortune 10, and we’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from leading investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, and First Round Capital.

- Manage teams developing CAD and drawings for both internal and external use, as well as overseeing proper version controls are followed.
- Track project performance so needed changes can be made quickly and persistent challenges can be brought to the attention of the leadership team
- Support current team members, including performance reviews, regular check-ins, allocating tools and resources, facilitating training and development, purchasing software and equipment, and helping team members feel comfortable being their full selves.

Climate change disproportionately impacts communities of color, so we’re looking for candidates deeply committed to reducing emissions and to racial justice. People who identify as Black, Indigenous, person of color, female, non-binary, trans, gender non-conforming, or any other identity underrepresented in startups are especially encouraged to apply.
Research shows that women and people of color are less likely to think they are qualified for a position after reading a list of requirements like the one above. If you are worried that you are not qualified, please apply anyway! We’re most excited to work with people who learn quickly and want to tackle the climate crisis.
