R&D Engineering Intern

About Us:

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 like Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne, along with climate-focused investors like Grantham Foundation. An additional $10M in non-dilutive funding has been secured, primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants supporting our R&D in frontier industries.

Headquartered in Somerville, MA, with an office in Houston, TX, Eden's team of 20 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 surface and subsurface field tests in early-to-mid 2025, supported by our supportive technical partners.

Job Description:

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.
