Energy and Grid

Lead Electro-Mechanical Engineer

The Company

A pioneering climate-tech company developing next-generation subsurface energy systems to make natural resource recovery more sustainable and water-efficient. Their patented technology uses electric stimulation to enhance underground permeability, offering a precise, low-impact alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing. The team is multidisciplinary, blending geophysics, high-voltage engineering, and mechanical design to unlock geothermal, geologic hydrogen, and carbon-storage opportunities.

Your Impact

You’ll lead mechanical and electro-mechanical design for advanced downhole energy-delivery systems operating in extreme high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

You’ll:

  • Architect structural and mechanical systems that integrate seamlessly with electrical assemblies.
  • Conduct FEA/CFD modeling for stress, vibration, and heat transfer in HPHT environments.
  • Design and qualify pressure vessels, housings, and enclosures per ASME/API standards.
  • Lead a small mechanical team—setting priorities, reviewing designs, and mentoring junior engineers.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical and power-electronics teams to achieve robust system performance.
  • Oversee prototype builds from concept to field deployment, ensuring manufacturability and test readiness.
  • Support field campaigns, commissioning, and troubleshooting mechanical systems (~10–20% travel).

About You

  • Master’s or PhD (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical, or Materials Engineering.
  • 7+ years’ experience designing and validating complex mechanical or structural systems for energy, utilities, or industrial equipment.
  • Proven leadership experience and ability to manage cross-functional technical projects.
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and ANSYS or COMSOL for simulation and analysis.
  • Expertise in HPHT materials, sealing, and pressure-vessel design.
  • Hands-on approach and comfort working in prototype environments.
  • Excellent communicator, able to bridge mechanical, electrical, and geoscience teams.

Bonus: Experience in geothermal, oil & gas, or downhole tool design; familiarity with dielectric materials, sensors, or thermo-mechanical coupling.
