R&D Engineering Intern

Founded in 2017, Eden GeoPower develops a technology to address the current financial and environmental challenges in underground energy extraction technologies with novel and groundbreaking ideas. Our goal is to offer a sustainable solution that reduces or eliminates water use, underground water contamination, wastewater production, air pollution, and induced seismicity associated with current fracturing methods. The company has secured funding from the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, MIT, MassCEC, Ameren, and other VC and industry investors.

We are looking for a motivated and creative R&D Intern to help us conduct experiments, research and modeling, and equipment design. This includes assisting with the experimental setup, conducting experiments, measurements, data collection and analysis, and design and fabrication. Below is the list of tasks, qualifications, and skills.

Tasks:

• Assist with designing experiments to evaluate a scientific hypothesis, defining a process to conduct the experiments, and fabricating parts to build and set up the experiments;
• Assist with equipment design, data acquisition and control systems;
• Assist with data collection, visualization, and analysis;
• Assist with software development in the laboratory [e.g., data acquisition and instrumentation control];
