Job summary
Company OverviewEden is a leader in sustainable natural resource recovery. We break rocks with electricity to maximize subsurface permeability.
We believe that a more sustainable approach to natural resource recovery is critical to creating a carbon-neutral future. By using high-voltage electricity and proprietary modeling and reservoir characterization techniques, we can achieve precise fracture permeability enhancement, while preventing the high-water consumption and environmental risks associated with traditional hydraulic fracturing operations.
With backing from public and private institutions, our next-generation rock permeability enhancement technology is being demonstrated in multiple geologies across the world. Were working with industry leaders in geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, carbon storage, and mining to redefine how we recover Earths natural resources.
Position Overview
The Mechanical Engineer will work directly with our R&D and Operations Engineering teams working on the development of laboratory and field scale equipment design and optimization. Daily tasks would include preparation of engineering designs, evaluation of equipment performance, investigation and optimization material properties, and more. This role will require knowledge of engineering standards, generating CAD (or similar) models, and mathematical computing and analysis methods.
Duties & Responsibilities:
Work with R&D team to expand laboratory capabilities in different areas such as engineering prototyping, geomechanics, geochemistry and electro-chemistry.
Design and fabrication of diverse field-scale equipment to further companys goals in different markets including geothermal, mining, geologic hydrogen and CO2 sequestration.
Work with vendors to purchase and fabricate equipment.
Assist the R&D team during experimental design and execution. This includes equipment design, data acquisition, control systems, execution of experimental plans and data analysis.
