At Arbor Energy & Resources Corporation ("Arbor Energy"), we’re creating technology to power our lives while protecting the planet that sustains them. Our advanced power systems deliver clean, reliable baseload electricity with zero operating emissions—modular, fuel-flexible, and engineered for the realities of today’s energy demand. At the core is a supercritical CO₂ turbine with integrated carbon capture, designed to bring carbon-neutral power online quickly at meaningful scale.
Our team includes aerospace engineers, combustion experts, and systems thinkers with a shared goal: to build technology worthy of the world we want to live in. While many of us began our journeys looking to the stars, we’re applying that expertise here at home to deliver dependable, emission-free baseload power and a future of lasting abundance.
If you share our values and are drawn to rigorous work with lasting impact, we’d love to learn more about you. Come build what the future will run on.
Steward our planet: We build for tomorrow, ensuring every bolt we tighten and every hand we lend leaves our environment stronger than we found it.
Lead with Love: We champion the success of our people, partners, and planet, nurturing excellence through camaraderie and rigor.
Explore the Uncharted: We embrace the unknown with curiosity, using courage and discipline to transform uncertainty into opportunity.
We're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer – Power Systems to own the electrical architecture of Arbor's supercritical CO₂ power plants—from the first conceptual one-line through generator selection, synchronization and protection design, utility interconnection, procurement, installation, and first synchronization to the grid. As Arbor's first electrical engineer, you will set the architecture for multi-unit plants of 10–50 MW turbine-generators, both grid-tied at transmission level and in islanded behind-the-meter configurations. This is a hands-on role: you will design, specify, procure, and commission the equipment yourself, and bring in third-party engineering when the schedule demands more hands, not because the work is outside your reach. You'll partner closely with turbomachinery, controls, process, and test engineers in a fast-paced, first-of-a-kind hardware environment, building the electrical discipline that delivers carbon-neutral baseload power.
Base Pay: $165,000 - $185,000 USD/year. The salary is subject to the applicant's skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
Arbor Energy is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital or veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law. Solving global energy challenges requires a wide range of perspectives and experiences, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the world we serve.
Our hiring process is designed to be accessible, fair, and focused on the work that matters most for this role. Reasonable accommodations are available throughout the hiring process and employment—please let us know if you need one.
