Full Job Description
Your Impact
Lead mechanical and electro-mechanical design of Eden's next-generation downhole stimulation and energy-delivery systems operating at high temperature (>300 6C) 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.
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 directly 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%).
