If we’re going to accomplish this goal in our lifetime, we have a lot of building to do. That means we’re always on the lookout for curious, motivated people with dynamic backgrounds and skillsets we don’t even know we need yet. If you’re a student or early-career explorer who’s passionate about renewable energy, ocean technology, or building things that make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you. Share your interests and background here so we can keep you in mind as opportunities emerge in the future. Please note that Panthalassa does not currently have an internship program, and this is not an application for an open position. You should not expect to hear back from us at this time. If a fitting opportunity arises, we’ll reach out directly. However, we often hear from students and early-career professionals who are inspired by our mission and want to get involved. This form provides a place to express that interest for potential future opportunities. ## About Panthalassa ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Building a planetary-scale renewable energy platform from the ocean to power compute and more, starting with AI data centers. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Portland, Oregon, USA - **Founded**: 2016 - **Founders**: Garth Sheldon-Coulson (CEO); co-founders not publicly listed ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Renewable energy / ocean technology - **Target customers**: B2B – enterprises needing clean, low-cost power for compute-intensive workloads (AI training/inference); data center operators - **Mission or purpose statement**: “To build a planetary-scale energy platform that’s clean, sustainable, and low-cost” (public-benefit corporation) ## Products & Services - **Panthalassa Node (Ocean-1 / Ocean-2 / Ocean-3 / Ocean-4)**: A self-propelled, wave-energy device that generates electricity onboard. The electricity powers AI compute modules housed in sealed, seawater-cooled containers below the surface. Nodes are deployed in fleets, communicate via Starlink, and are designed to be ultra-low-cost, zero-emissions, and rapidly scalable. (Type: Hardware + integrated service) ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – $193M (as of May 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investor Peter Thiel; also Leblon Capital, Nimble Partners, Western Technology Investment, Portland Seed Fund, Sozo Ventures, and 27+ others (per CB Insights). Partners include SpaceX (Starlink), major aerospace/tech alumni on team. - **Growth Signals**: - $140M Series B announced May 2026 - 28 open job positions (as of July 2026), spanning engineering, manufacturing, marine operations, finance, IT - Ocean-3 pilot deployment planned for 2026, commercial deployments in 2027 - Transitioning from R&D to mass production and field operations - Team includes alumni from SpaceX, Google, Blue Origin, Apple, Boeing, Amazon, Tesla, NASA, etc. ## Competitive Advantages - **Unique wave-energy design**: No mooring, self-propelled, few moving parts, low maintenance - **Ocean-based compute paradigm**: Eliminates land and grid constraints for data centers; uses seawater for free cooling - **Scalability**: Devices can be mass-produced and deployed in thousands, operating autonomously as a fleet - **Cost advantage**: Claims to produce the “cleanest, cheapest energy on Earth” by avoiding transmission infrastructure and using open-ocean wave resources ## Strategic Focus - **Scale manufacturing**: Building work centers, processes, and test architecture for high-volume production of nodes - **Deploy pilot fleet**: Ocean-3 construction underway; proving commercial readiness in 2026–2027 - **Develop digital thread**: Architecting data flow from engineering through manufacturing, supply chain, quality, operations, and field service - **Expand team**: Hiring across engineering, manufacturing, marine ops, and business functions to support growth ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Public-benefit corporation with a mission-driven, frontier-tech ethos. Values “taking the work seriously, but not ourselves.” Diverse backgrounds from aerospace, software, naval architecture, military, and research. - **Work environment**: Mostly on-site in Portland, OR (some hybrid roles, e.g., FP&A Manager). Strong emphasis on hands-on engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing. - **Notable perks**: Opportunity to work on a novel energy platform from concept through deployment; exposure to cross-disciplinary challenges (mechanical, electrical, marine, software, autonomy); be part of a high-growth startup post-Series B. - **Engineering culture**: Builders encouraged to own projects from design to field; emphasis on simple, manufacturable, reliable systems; use of modern tools and autonomy. ## Sources 1.
