Job Details

We are looking for a Geotechnical Research, Development & Production Engineer to join our high-performing team at Geocomp!

We are seeking a technology-minded, research-driven engineer with a passion for geotechnical lab testing and innovation. Ideal candidates are proactive, collaborative, and motivated to drive meaningful contributions in the geotechnical field.

The successful candidate will help translate theoretical research into practical tools that emphasize accuracy, automation, and repeatability-improving how engineers assess complex soil behaviors.

You will work on advanced geotechnical projects such as:

• Unsaturated soil testing systems
• Temperature control systems
• P-wave and S-wave velocity measurement systems
• Resonant column and torsional shear systems
• Cyclic triaxial, cyclic shear, and bidirectional loading systems

You will also manage customer relationships, support product delivery timelines, and lead development from prototype to production-ready equipment.

This is an exciting opportunity to apply your geotechnical expertise in a dynamic environment focused on innovation, precision, and quality.

• Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering with significant research in advanced soil mechanics and laboratory testing
• Strong hands-on experience with equipment such as:

• Cyclic triaxial
• Direct/simple shear
• Resonant column and torsional shear
• Bender element systems

• Solid understanding of geotechnical laboratory standards (ASTM, BS, ISO)
• Ability to manage projects and collaborate with academic and industry partners
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to present complex technical topics clearly
• Passion for geotechnical testing and a desire to deepen understanding of soil behavior

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD in Geotechnical Engineering with a focus on Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
• Experience developing and validating geotechnical testing prototypes
• Research background with peer-reviewed publications in soil dynamics or unsaturated soils
• Prior involvement in large-scale geotechnical R&D projects related to cyclic loading or earthquake engineering
• Experience transitioning R&D prototypes into manufacturable, quality-controlled products
• Familiarity with calibration, quality control, and system integration for precision equipment manufacturing

Benefits Package:

• Base salary range: $110,000-$120,000 per year
  (Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and internal equity. The range listed reflects the base salary only and does not include bonus, benefits, or other forms of compensation.)
