• Surface facilities: Lead design/optimization of geothermal surface piping and pipeline networks (steamfield / brine gathering, reinjection, plant tie-ins), including routing, pressure drop, line sizing, operability, and constructability (geothermal piping design fundamentals: safely/economically transport steam/brine/two-phase with acceptable pressure loss).
• Define mechanical design basis: materials selection, corrosion/scale allowances, valve strategy, insulation/heat loss, supports, and expansion/flexibility approach (geothermal scaling/corrosion in process piping is a major driver of reliability/availability).
• Produce/oversee PFDs/P&IDs, isometrics, tie-in packages, bid scopes, and construction work packs; coordinate with civil/electrical/I&C, drilling, and operations.
• Downhole pumps & production support (artificial lift/reliability): Provide technical support for downhole pumping systems (lineshaft pumps/other artificial lift), including specification, vendor coordination, installation planning, commissioning procedures, and root-cause support for failures.
• Build monitoring and “run philosophy” for pumps: performance tracking, operating envelopes, startup/shutdown logic, and reliability improvement aligned with modern geothermal pump O&M best practices (e.g., monitoring suction/discharge, wear factor, vibration, standardized procedures).
• BS in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).5–12+ years in mechanical engineering for industrial energy infrastructure: geothermal, O&G, power, water, or similar.
• Demonstrated experience in at least two of: Surface piping / pipelines (gathering systems, hot brine/steam, reinjection)
• Rotating equipment & pumping systems (incl. deep-set/harsh service)
• Field execution / construction support / commissioning
• Partner-facing technical project leadership
• Equipment design and automation
• Project management habits: scope clarity, risk tracking, schedule discipline, documentation.
• Ability to manage and coordinate projects across multiple stages and stakeholders
• Strong communication skills, particularly in explaining technical concepts to mixed technical and non-technical audiences
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work effectively across internal teams and external partners
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment
• Strong risk identification and mitigation skills, with the ability to propose alternative technical or operational pathways
• Geothermal-specific experience with scaling/corrosion/erosion issues in brine systems.
• Artificial lift / production pump experience in geothermal (e.g., lineshaft and/or ESP pump operation, commissioning, and reliability improvement strategies).
• PE license (or ability to obtain).
• Comfort negotiating and coordinating with vendors/EPCs; experience writing scopes, evaluating bids, and managing FAT/SAT.
• Paid holidays
• 18 days PTO, with accrual increases based on tenure
• Medical and dental coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Stock options
• Growth opportunities at a company directly advancing domestic geothermal energy and a carbon-free grid
