The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO’s) Water Power Program is to research, develop, and test innovative technologies capable of generating renewable, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective electricity from U.S. water resources. These include Marine and Hydrokinetic (MHK) technologies that harness the energy from waves and from tidal, river, and ocean currents. With more than 50 percent of the U.S. population living within 50 miles of the Nation’s coasts, MHK technologies hold significant potential to supply renewable electricity to consumers in coastal load centers, particularly in areas with high costs of electricity. DOE’s MHK portfolio focuses on funding innovation to drive down the cost of electricity through significant performance improvements and reductions in initial investment costs. The Water Power Program is committed to efforts that will allow the MHK sector to rapidly advance and achieve cost-competitiveness with local hurdle rates in major coastal load centers by 2030.
The position is for an integral member of the Marine and Hydrokinetic (MHK) Technologies Team that will carry out activities critical to program execution and management/oversight of projects within the portfolio. MHK is a relatively young industry and DOE plays a significant role in defining the path towards becoming a cost competitive renewable energy solution. The selectee will collaborate with the team in defining technical priorities, program goals/milestones, and strategy as part of annual, mid (within 5 years), or long (beyond 5 year) term planning. The MHK RD&D portfolio includes a mix of industry, university, and DOE National Laboratory projects that explore new technologies to improve performance and reduce technical risk. As part of this risk reduction, the selectee will review technology development project plans; identify shortcomings in project plans for meeting objectives; and evaluate the sufficiency of data collection and analysis methods to prove technology feasibility.

This position will be located in Washington, DC.
