What challenges do geothermal engineers face in their day-to-day work?

Geothermal Engineers often face challenges such as accurately assessing underground resources, managing drilling risks, and addressing environmental or regulatory concerns. The job requires troubleshooting complex mechanical systems and adapting to site-specific geological conditions, which can be unpredictable. Collaboration with environmental scientists, project managers, and construction teams is frequent, so flexibility and clear communication are important. Overcoming these challenges is rewarding and crucial to advancing reliable, sustainable energy solutions.

What does a geothermal engineer do?

A Geothermal Engineer designs, develops, and maintains systems that harness heat from the Earth to generate energy or provide direct heating. They analyze geological data to determine suitable locations for geothermal projects, oversee drilling operations, and optimize the efficiency of geothermal power plants. Their work includes assessing environmental impact, ensuring regulatory compliance, and improving energy extraction techniques.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a geothermal engineer?

A Geothermal Engineer should possess a strong background in geoscience, thermodynamics, and mechanical or civil engineering, typically holding a bachelor's or master's degree in a related field. Familiarity with modeling software (such as GeoCAD or reservoir simulation tools), geothermal system design, and relevant safety certifications are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, teamwork, and effective communication set top candidates apart. These abilities are vital for designing efficient geothermal systems, navigating multidisciplinary project teams, and ensuring safe, cost-effective energy solutions.

Job description

About Us

Eden is pioneering sustainable natural resource recovery by using electricity to enhance subsurface permeability. Our Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology offers a precise, water-efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing, reducing environmental risks while maximizing resource extraction.

Backed by leading public and private institutions, we have raised ~$24M, including $14M in dilutive capital from industry leaders such as Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne, along with climate-focused investors like the Grantham Foundation. Additionally, we have secured $10M in non-dilutive funding, primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants that support our R&D in frontier industries.

Headquartered in Somerville, MA, Eden's team of 16 experts specializes in geophysics, geochemistry, high-voltage engineering, and subsurface tool design. We are actively demonstrating our next-generation permeability enhancement technology across diverse geologies worldwide, collaborating with industry leaders in geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, carbon storage, and mining to redefine resource recovery for a carbon-neutral future.

Looking ahead, we are preparing for field tests, in cooperation with our supportive technical partners.

Your Impact

  • Contribute to the design and build of Eden's next-generation stimulation and energy-delivery systems operating at high temperature (>300 C) and high pressure (>10 000 psi).
  • Architect structural and mechanical systems surrounding electrical assemblies, ensuring reliable integration and compliance with thermal and pressure constraints.
  • Perform FEA / CFD modeling for stress, vibration, fatigue, and heat transfer in cyclic HPHT environments.
  • Design and qualify pressure vessels, housings, and protective enclosures to relevant ASME and ISO standards.
  • Collaborate with electrical and power-electronics teams to achieve seamless electro-mechanical performance and thermal management.
  • Engage directly with vendors, fabrication partners, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Support field mobilizations-configure, commission, and troubleshoot mechanical systems during test campaigns (travel ~10-20%).

Requirements

About You

  • Bachelors (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical, or Materials Engineering.
  • 3-10 years of industry experience designing and validating mechanical or structural systems 
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks, ANSYS, or COMSOL Multiphysics for structural, thermal, and coupled electro-mechanical simulations.
  • Familiarity with electrical integration -designing mechanical components that interface with electrical enclosures, sensors, and cabling systems.
  • Hands-on approach-comfortable with machining, fabrication, assembly, and test setup.
  • Excellent communicator who can bridge disciplines between electrical, mechanical, and geoscience teams in a fast-moving R&D startup.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with dielectric materials, electrode housings, or thermo-mechanical coupling.
  • Background in geomechanics, rock-tool interaction modeling, or fracture-mechanics coupling.
  • Experience integrating sensors, data acquisition, or diagnostic instrumentation in HPHT systems.
  • Exposure to industrial-utility environments involving complex mechanical-electrical system interfaces.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, 401k
  • Vacation - Federal holidays off, Thanksgiving holidays, Christmas and New Year, 15 additional workdays per year (3 weeks) vacation time
  • Sick days, bereavement time
  • Stock Options
