Senior Pulsed Power Engineer

Eden is pioneering sustainable natural resource recovery by using electricity to enhance subsurface permeability. Our Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology offers a precise, water-efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing, reducing environmental risks while maximizing resource extraction.

Backed by leading public and private institutions, we have raised ~$24M, including $14M in dilutive capital from industry leaders such as Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne, along with climate-focused investors like the Grantham Foundation. Additionally, we have secured $10M in non-dilutive funding, primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants that support our R&D in frontier industries.

Headquartered in Somerville, MA, and with an office in Houston, TX, Eden's team of 16 experts specializes in geophysics, geochemistry, high-voltage engineering, and subsurface tool design. We are actively demonstrating our next-generation permeability enhancement technology across diverse geologies worldwide, collaborating with industry leaders in geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, carbon storage, and mining to redefine resource recovery for a carbon-neutral future.

Looking ahead, we are preparing for field tests, in cooperation with our supportive technical partners.

• Own design and development of next‑generation pulsed power systems (Marx or related fast high‑voltage architectures) delivering repeatable, high‑energy micro‑ to millisecond pulses.
• Architect modular, field‑deployable generator stacks (charging, storage, switching, pulse‑forming, measurement, protection) for reliability, waveform fidelity, and rugged field operation.
• Run trade studies on switching topologies (spark gap, solid‑state, hybrid), insulation schemes, and energy delivery to balance rise time, repetition rate, efficiency, serviceability, and cost.
• Integrate high‑speed diagnostics, sensing, and controls to monitor pulse shape, energy, and component health; iterate from lab and pilot data.
• Collaborate with geoscience teammates to connect pulse parameters with permeability gains and fracture geometry outcomes.
• Draft technical reports, funding proposals, stakeholder updates, and safety / operations documentation.
• Establish and enforce rigorous HV/EHS protocols (arc flash, interlocks, grounding, remote operation).
• Support field mobilizations: configure, commission, operate, and troubleshoot systems (travel ~10–25%).

• PhD or Master’s (with equivalent depth) in Electrical / Pulsed Power / Power Electronics / High‑Voltage Engineering (or closely related).
• 5+ years designing, building, and testing high‑voltage pulsed power systems (e.g., Marx generators, pulse‑forming networks, solid‑state switch stacks) from concept to hardware integration.
• Strong command of: fast switching (spark gap, solid‑state, or hybrid), capacitor energy storage, insulation coordination, pulse diagnostics (dV/dt, dI/dt, impedance matching), and protection.
• Demonstrated ability to make sound technical/economic decisions with incomplete data under time pressure.
• Experience creating and enforcing safety practices for high‑voltage / high‑energy lab or field environments.
• Collaborative, low‑ego communicator comfortable working across hardware, controls, and geoscience domains.

• Field deployment of ruggedized HV or pulsed power hardware (geothermal, mining, defense test, plasma, or similar).
• Knowledge of plasma channel formation, rock fracture mechanics, or electro‑mechanical shock phenomena.
• Modeling / simulation (SPICE, EMTP, COMSOL multiphysics, electro‑thermal or plasma modules).
