What Intelline does
Intelline makes fuel agnostic engines for practical, clean, and low-cost industrial power. Our first customers are in data center energy infrastructure and oil & gas production. Our engine generate electricity with even the most difficult fuels like flare gas, while reducing fuel OPEX by 40%. There are 1,000,000 new heavy duty engines produced per year, and at an average $50k per heavy duty engine this is a $50B market opportunity. Our generator can efficiently run emerging fuel types that traditional diesel engines can't use (flare gas, syngas, ammonia, hydrogen), and can switch between fossil fuels and any other liquid/gaseous fuel while running. Full size running prototype successfully tested April 2025.

Work experience at a startup, or clear ability to take on substantial project responsibilities and quickly produce tangible results. Energetic and relentless approach to problem solving. Exceptional attention to detail and care for quality of work. Strong initiative. A successful candidate will strive for team success in pursuit of the company’s vision and can independently identify task priorities. Passion for power generation technologies and reducing carbon emissions with practical solutions. Passion for multidisciplinary hardware challenges – the complicated stuff. About the Company Intelline is a venture-backed hardware startup based in Waterloo, ON. We make industrial generators that use 40% less fuel, with virtually any fuel type. Our patented valve-in-piston linear engine technology offers unprecedented variability in combustion control, such that our generators can achieve the highest possible efficiency in real world conditions. We’re developing an engine architecture for standalone power and hybrid vehicle use in multiple sectors (mining, construction, marine, energy, military, datacenter, and more). Our products will be exposed to a wide range of challenging environments and must produce reliable power for decades, all while minimizing carbon emissions from cradle to grave. It’s complicated, difficult, and important. If this excites you, we’d love to meet you.
