Senior Electrical Design Engineer (£80k–£100k + Equity) at Rivan Industries - VC-backed synthetic fuel startup
About the role
Rivan Industries is on a mission to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels, and they need a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to own the power architecture of their massive modular plants. Backed by a £10M seed round from Plural and the founders of Stripe, this role offers the rare chance to build and commission industrial scale hardware in weeks, not years. If you have 5+ years of experience in industrial power systems and want to lead the electrical design for the UK's most ambitious decarbonisation project, this is your opportunity to claim a seat at the table with significant equity and a high performance engineering team.
About Rivan
Rivan Industries designs, manufactures, and deploys modular synthetic fuel plants. Their mission is to make life sustainable on earth by making it cheaper to pull fuels from the air than drill from the ground.
Rivan's technology captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere using a Direct Air Capture (DAC) system, splits water via an alkaline electrolyser to produce hydrogen, and synthesizes these together in a Sabatier reactor to produce synthetic natural gas — injected directly into the European gas grid. All of this is powered by off-grid solar that Rivan develops and deploys themselves, giving them access to the cheapest energy source in the world.
