Thermodynamics Engineer

Drogue is building the world's first offshore floating data centers. We're a small team tackling a massive, first-of-its-kind engineering challenge. If you thrive in ambiguity, love hard problems, and want to build something that's never been built before — keep reading.

We're not putting servers on a barge. We're engineering a new class of ocean-deployed infrastructure that generates its own power, recovers its own waste heat, stays on station in severe weather, all while serving customers with high reliability. This requires a mix of first principles engineering and repurposing of existing technologies from other industries.

This is the role that makes our economics work. As a Thermodynamics Engineer you’ll model and simulate the thermal architecture of the entire platform: from ocean thermal to waste heat recovery to turn rejected compute heat back into usable power. The ocean is both our heat sink and our energy source, and you'll be in charge of choosing the best ways to optimize out system.

Responsibilities:

• Design and optimize ocean thermal energy systems that leverage seawater temperature differentials for power generation

• Architect waste heat recovery systems, capturing thermal output from high-d
