Job Title: Senior Electrical Design Engineer
Salary: £80k–£100k + Equity
Company Description: Rivan Industries - VC-backed synthetic fuel startup
Job Description:
You will own the AC power system architecture for the UK's largest synthetic fuel plants, translating complex requirements into certifiable industrial designs. By eliminating bottlenecks in power and control systems, you’ll enable Rivan to scale their decarbonisation technology 1000x, playing a critical role in making synthetic fuels cheaper than fossil fuels.
Location: London, UK
Why this role is remarkable:
Lead the electrical architecture for the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant with the autonomy to design systems from first principles rather than following legacy specs.
Join a high-growth team backed by a £10M seed round from Plural, Nat Friedman, and the Stripe founders, with validated commercial demand and signed offtaker agreements.
Benefit from a mission-driven culture offering significant early-team equity, unlimited time off, and a unique £6,000/year stipend to live close to the London HQ.
What you will do:
Take full ownership of AC power architecture, including distribution, protection strategies, and panel designs for modular DAC and electrolyser systems.
Lead panel certification activities under Machinery and Low Voltage Directives (CE/UKCA) while contributing to safety systems via HAZOPs and FMEAs.
Mentor a growing team of mid-career and junior engineers while iterating on pilot plant designs to optimize for cost and manufacturability at scale.
The ideal candidate:
5+ years of industrial electrical design experience focusing on power systems, industrial machinery, or complex process environments.
Proficiency in electrical CAD tools such as Solidworks Electrical, EPLAN, or AutoCAD for producing full architecture schematics and cable sizing.
Strong background in functional safety standards (IEC 61508) and experience with industrial power conversion systems like VFDs, rectifiers, or high-power DC.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
