At Verterra Energy, we're on a mission to harness the power in the world's rivers, canals and oceans. To accomplish this, we are commercializing our first device called VOLTURNUS, a pioneering water-power technology that deploys in harmony with the current to capture baseline, zero emission electricity. Backed by top-tier investors and a multi-year contract with the Department of Defense, we are growing our team to help achieve our mission.

We're seeking a Generator & Motor Design Engineer with expertise in electrical generator and motor machinery development. The ideal candidate is fully conversant with electric motor and generator technologies.
