Job summary

Eden GeoPower, Inc. in Somerville, MA is seeking a senior mechanical/electro-mechanical engineer to lead the design of next‑generation downhole stimulation and energy‑delivery systems. You will work at HPHT conditions, guiding a multidisciplinary team through concept to prototype and field deployment.

You will collaborate with electrical, geoscience, and vendor partners, apply Lean/Six Sigma, and ensure compliance with ASME/ISO; travel about 10–20% for field campaigns.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD (or equivalent) in Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical, or Materials Engineering.
• 7+ years of industry experience designing and validating mechanical or structural systems within the energy/utilities/industrial-equipment sectors.
• Proven leadership and managerial experience, including team supervision, cross-functional coordination, and project ownership.
• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, ANSYS, or COMSOL Multiphysics for structural, thermal, and coupled electro-mechanical simulations.
• Expertise in pressure-vessel design, HPHT materials, sealing systems, and fatigue-life assessment.
• Familiarity with electrical integration —designing mechanical components that interface with electrical enclosures, sensors, and cabling systems.
• Track record applying Lean / Six Sigma or similar continuous-improvement frameworks.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical and electro-mechanical design of Eden’s next-generation downhole stimulation and energy-delivery systems operating at high temperature and high pressure.
• 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 ASME and ISO standards.
• Manage a small, multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers and technicians; set priorities, review designs, and mentor junior staff.
• Collaborate with electrical and power-electronics teams to achieve seamless electro-mechanical performance and thermal management.
• Engage with vendors, fabrication partners, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
• Apply Lean / Six Sigma methodologies to improve design, assembly, and test efficiency.
• Drive prototype builds from concept through lab validation and field deployment; lead design reviews, documentation, and milestone tracking.
• Support field mobilizations—configure, commission, and troubleshoot mechanical systems during test campaigns (travel ~10-20%).
