Mechanical Engineer (Early Hire)

Our Game Plan

Are you hyped about solving humanity's energy problems? Are you ready to deliver one of the biggest engineering feats in history? If so, we’ve got an opportunity for you to lead the charge in unlocking Earth’s most abundant and untapped energy source: ultra-deep geothermal energy.

We believe the solution to the planet’s energy problems lies beneath us. Geothermal is an almost abundant green energy source that is, unfortunately, currently limited to specific geological conditions. How do we overcome that? By drilling very, very deep - deeper than ever before. This way, we can unlock geothermal energy everywhere on the planet on a massive scale. The physics checks out - it’s a pure engineering challenge. We have spent the last months deeply researching this opportunity and have developed a playbook to build a truly transformative deep geothermal energy company. Now, we are assembling a team and looking for a passionate Mechanical Engineer to join us early and play a key role in shaping our success story!
