at Panthalassa

🏢 About Panthalassa

Panthalassa is revolutionizing sustainable energy by harnessing the untapped power of Earth's oceans, positioning itself at the forefront of clean energy innovation. Working here means contributing directly to solving global energy challenges through cutting-edge marine technology, offering a unique opportunity to be part of a mission-driven company creating tangible environmental impact.

About This Role

As Node Integration Lead, you'll be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive integration plans for ocean energy hardware at fabrication sites and during operational lifespan. This role is critical because successful node integration directly enables Panthalassa's ocean energy harvesting systems to function reliably in challenging marine environments, making you a key player in bringing sustainable energy solutions to market.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with fabrication site teams through start/end-of-shift meetings, developing detailed integration plans for ocean energy nodes, and maintaining real-time reporting on progress and challenges. You'll spend significant time on-site ensuring integration criteria are met while being on-call to address any issues during critical integration periods, balancing hands-on oversight with strategic planning for node lifespan management.

🎯 Who Panthalassa Is Looking For

  • Has 2-5 years of hands-on integration/commissioning experience with complex hardware systems (automotive, aerospace, marine, or manufacturing)
  • Possesses 4-6 years of proven experience leading cross-functional technical teams to deliver hardware products against aggressive timelines
  • Demonstrates exceptional written and verbal communication skills for clear reporting and team coordination
  • Has experience managing integration criteria including GSE readiness, safety planning, and hardware availability
