Key Responsibilities

• Own commercial strategy and deal execution, from early offtake agreements to multi-gigawatt project structuring
• Build and lead a world class commercial organization including power sales, offtake structuring, strategic partnerships, and commercial operations
• Drive customer development with utilities, hyperscalers, sovereign authorities, and defense program offices across the Pacific region
• Lead commercial structuring on US federal lease pursuits, Program of Record paths, and utility relationships in close partnership with Policy and External Affairs
• Develop and own the bankability framework that every pipeline opportunity is filtered against
• Build and maintain a high-quality commercial pipeline with disciplined qualification, sequencing, and forecasting
• Partner closely with Policy and External Affairs on government and defense customers, splitting responsibility between the regulatory and commercial layers of each opportunity
• Represent Endurance in executive-level customer conversations, technical and commercial workshops, and critical negotiations
• Establish commercial standards, deal review processes, contract structures, and pipeline management systems
• Build a culture of accountability, urgency, commercial discipline, and customer obsession across the commercial organization
• Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, finance, and policy teams to ensure deals are technically credible, operationally deliverable, and financially structured for long-term value

Fervo is building the world’s most cost-effective, repeatable geothermal power plants in the world. Joining Fervo means solving frontier engineering problems with immediate real-world impact, accelerating the clean energy transition and reinventing the way infrastructure is built.

We’re not just another clean energy startup – we’re doing for geothermal what SpaceX did for rockets and the shale revolution did for oil and gas. We are seeking engineers who want to reinvent the way power infrastructure is built and who want to have extreme ownership over the reliability, safety, and performance of their systems, knowing that every megawatt-hour they protect or recover translates directly into mission impact.

Description

The I&C Commissioning Engineer plans, executes, and oversees all instrumentation, controls, and SCADA commissioning across Fervo’s geothermal power projects. The role covers the full commissioning lifecycle from pre-commissioning loop checks and instrument calibration through DCS/SCADA configuration verification, interlock testing, and handover to operations.

Scope includes all field instrumentation (pressure, temperature, flow, level, analytical), DCS and PLC systems, SCADA architecture and historian configuration, control narratives, interlock and trip logic, ORC package unit controls integration, and well field instrumentation and automation. This role has clear ownership of I&C and controls execution scope and does not extend into electrical acceptance testing, NETA scope, or mechanical rotating equipment integrity.

The I&C Commissioning Engineer works closely with the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer at the boundary between electrical protection systems and the DCS/SCADA/PLC platform, and with Operations on operator interface design, alarm management, and historian configuration. I&C findings, loop check data, interlock verification results, and controls deviations are fed into the Asset Integrity Engineer’s integrated lifecycle risk framework.

Responsibilities

Commissioning Planning & Controls Strategy

• Develop and implement Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) for all I&C and controls systems, based on design specifications, control narratives, and applicable standards.
• Define the loop check strategy, instrument calibration program, and I/O verification sequence; develop and maintain the loop check database with status tracking per instrument tag.
• Review control narratives, cause-and-effect matrices, and interlock logic documentation; identify gaps or conflicts between design documents and field configuration before commissioning begins.
• Develop commissioning procedures, test packages, and work permits for all I&C and controls testing activities.
• Define DCS/SCADA commissioning sequencing to support safe and orderly system startup.

Field I&C Execution

• Lead on-site execution of all loop checks, point-to-point testing, instrument calibration, and signal validation; support the Lead I&C Commissioning Technician and field personnel.
• Inspect, calibrate, and verify field instrumentation including pressure, temperature, flow, level, and analytical devices against calibration records and design datasheets as required. 
• Commission DCS and PLC systems: verify I/O configuration, test control logic, validate alarm setpoints, and confirm historian data collection.
• Commission SCADA systems: verify communications architecture, tag configuration, operator display functionality, and remote monitoring integration.
• Perform functional testing of all safety instrumented system (SIS) functions, safety interlocks, and process trips; verify independence from the basic process control system (BPCS) where required.
• Troubleshoot instrumentation, control logic, and communication issues during commissioning; coordinate with OEM technical support and Engineering to resolve deficiencies.

ORC Package & Well Field Controls Integration

• Lead I&C commissioning for ORC turbine-generator package units: coordinate with OEM commissioning teams on controls handshake, interlock integration, and performance testing.
• Commission well field instrumentation and automation: wellhead sensors, downhole monitoring integration, flow control systems, and chemical injection controls.
• Verify integration of package unit control systems (ORC, instrument air, VFDs) with the plant SCADA, including all start/stop permissives, status signals, and alarms.

Electrical/Controls Integration

• Coordinate with the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer on the integration boundary between electrical protection systems and the DCS/SCADA/PLC platform, including protection relay communications, breaker status signals, and generator controls integration.
• Own DCS/SCADA architecture and control narrative authority at the electrical/controls boundary; the Sr. Electrical Testing and Commissioning Engineer owns electrical protection and switching logic at that same boundary.

Asset Integrity Support & Risk Reporting

• Feed I&C findings, loop check status, interlock verification results, and controls deviation dispositions to the Asset Integrity Engineer for consolidation into the integrated lifecycle risk register.
• Participate in PHAs, FMEAs, and pre-startup safety reviews (PSSRs); provide I&C and controls sign-off as part of the integrated readiness decision.
• Communicate I&C lessons learned to the Asset Integrity Engineer for routing to Engineering and future projects.

Documentation & Handover

• Work with Engineering and Operations on SCADA operator interface design, alarm rationalization, and historian tag configuration to support long-term asset monitoring.
• Compile and maintain complete I&C commissioning documentation packages: loop check records, calibration certificates, interlock test records, as-built instrument index, and I&C turnover dossiers.
• Prepare I&C commissioning completion reports and handover packages for Operations, confirming all instruments, controls, and SCADA systems have been tested, accepted, and documented.
• Maintain accurate loop sheets, wiring diagrams, instrument data sheets, and control system documentation through to as-built status.

Required Qualifications

Endurance Energy 
Policy and Operations Manager
Hybrid
Position still open as of 11/02/2026

About Endurance
Endurance is building the world's first modular subsea geothermal power plants, converting vast thermal resources under the ocean into gigawatts of baseload power. Backed by Founders Fund, Felicis, First Round Capital, and Point72 Ventures, our founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Helion, and Robinhood. We have completed multiple deep-ocean deployments and are launching a long-term demonstration project this fall. By leveraging modular design, manufacturing scale, efficient drilling, and latent cooling on the seafloor, we are pioneering a new category of energy that outperforms traditional sources on both environmental impact and cost.

What you'll be doing
The Policy & Operations Manager is the execution arm for Endurance's highest-priority policy, permitting, and environmental workstreams. You will work directly with the Director of Environmental Affairs and the Director of Policy & External Affairs, taking special projects from a one-line ask to a finished product: a permit application package, a comment letter, a regulatory strategy memo, an agency briefing, a stakeholder engagement plan, or more.

This is a builder's seat in Washington. You will sit close to the agencies, congressional offices, and coalitions that shape our operating environment, with two Directors who need a partner who can run a workstream without being managed through it. The role carries unusual exposure for its level: you will draft the material that goes into agency meetings, staff our Directors and executives inside them, and own the follow-through that comes out.

You will also spend time where the technology is. Expect regular trips to Seattle and periodic time at deployment sites (Pacific Islands, Japan, Taiwan).

Key Responsibilities

• Own discrete special projects end to end (scope, plan, contributors, and delivery) with limited oversight and tight timelines
• Track and analyze federal and state legislative activity, international activity, rulemakings, and agency actions relevant to geothermal, offshore energy, ocean policy, and clean firm power, and flag what matters and why it matters to our schedule
• Draft and edit policy and regulatory materials: memos, one-pagers, talking points, comment letters, regulatory filings, briefing books, testimony, and presentations
• Support permitting and environmental review for demonstration and commercial projects, including NEPA documentation, consultation and authorization requirements, and state and local siting approvals
• Build and maintain the internal source of truth for permitting status, agency touchpoints, environmental commitments, and regulatory deadlines across every project
• Coordinate across engineering, marine operations, legal, and commercial teams to assemble the technical record agencies require, and hold internal contributors to deadlines and requirements
• Prepare the Directors and company executives for engagements with agency officials, congressional staff, coalitions, tribal nations, and community stakeholders, and research partners
• Manage outside consultants, environmental contractors, and counsel: scopes, deliverables, budgets, and quality of work product
• Support external affairs and coalition work, including trade associations, NGO relationships, and stakeholder engagement in project communities
• Identify and pursue federal and state funding, grant, and demonstration-program opportunities relevant to first-of-a-kind energy infrastructure
• Represent Endurance in Washington when the Directors cannot, and travel to Seattle and deployment sites often enough to speak to the technology firsthand

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in policy, government affairs, environmental permitting, regulatory affairs, or program management. A variety of backgrounds, including on the Hill, in an agency, at a trade association, in consulting, at an NGO, or in-house at a developer can all fit
• Based in the Washington, DC area, with the ability to be in and around the agencies and the Hill in person
• Working knowledge of federal environmental review and permitting: NEPA plus at least one of the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Clean Water Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Magnuson Stevens Act, Rivers and Harbors Act, or state coastal zone management programs
• Demonstrated track record running projects with multiple contributors to a hard external deadline, including work you did not personally control
• Clear, direct writing under deadline pressure, with examples of concise material prepared for policymakers, regulators, or senior leaders; shows mastery of AI as a tool, but not as a thought
• Ability to absorb unfamiliar technical material quickly and represent it accurately to a non-technical audience
• Comfort operating with ambiguity, incomplete data, and short timelines, and a strong bias toward action
• Sound judgment and discretion handling sensitive commercial, regulatory, and pre-decisional information
• Bachelor's degree in public policy, political science, environmental policy or science, law, marine affairs, or a related field
• Willingness to travel roughly 15–25% between Seattle, and deployment sites

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with offshore or ocean regulatory frameworks and the agencies that administer them: Marine Minerals Administration, NOAA/NMFS, USACE, EPA, or state coastal commissions
• Experience permitting first-of-a-kind, pre-commercial, or demonstration-scale energy infrastructure, where standard templates do not yet apply
• Familiarity with geothermal, offshore wind, marine energy, or subsea operations
• Hill, appropriations, or authorizing-committee experience, or familiarity with DOE, ARPA-E, the Energy Dominance Fund, or FERC
• Exposure to international permitting or regulatory regimes in geothermal-relevant jurisdictions such as Iceland or Japan
• Experience managing environmental consultants or preparing agency-facing technical documentation
• Advanced degree in law, public policy, environmental policy, STEM, or marine affairs
• Experience in an organization with aggressive commercial and operational schedules

Compensation, Benefits, & Perks

As a pre-revenue startup, Endurance Energy offers competitive base salaries and generous equity packages for full-time employees. Final base salary will be determined by an array of factors including internal equity, job-related knowledge, skills, and work experience.

A key aspect of our compensation philosophy is that value creation should be aligned with rewards. Right now this means equity is a significant portion of every full-time employee's compensation. As the company matures, there will be continued evolution and changes to the total rewards and total compensation package. What will always be true is that if we win, we win together. Equity is granted to every full-time employee as a meaningful piece of ownership. We believe the people building the company should share directly in the value they create.

In addition to a competitive base salary and equity, employees will receive all of our other great benefits and perks, including:

• Benefits: Health, Dental, and Vision insurance coverage
• Time Away: Flexible PTO including 12 paid company holidays
• Global Fieldwork: Travel to fascinating deployment sites along oceanic ridges in locations like the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, and the Azores

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Los Alamos, New Mexico
Closing date: December 31, 2026

What You Will Do

The Fractured Earth Laboratory and Microfluidics Laboratory in the Analytical Earth Science Group (EES-15) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to design and formulate new high-density working fluids for superhot geothermal systems.

The primary scientific responsibility of this position is fluid design. The successful candidate will identify promising chemical systems, formulate new fluids, establish composition-property relationships, and optimize tradeoffs among density, viscosity, rheology, phase stability, thermal stability, pumpability, chemical compatibility, and cost. The most promising formulations will then be experimentally qualified under extreme geothermal conditions.

The research will support gravity-assisted geothermal concepts and related subsurface-energy technologies requiring fluids that remain stable and functional at temperatures of 375 °C or higher and pressures of 22 MPa or higher. LANL provides extensive expertise and experimental capabilities in superhot geothermal systems, high-temperature/high-pressure experimentation, analytical chemistry, geomechanics, porous-media flow, and subsurface engineering. Prior geothermal experience is therefore beneficial but is not the primary requirement; demonstrated expertise in fluid chemistry and formulation is more important.

The successful candidate will develop and screen candidate fluid chemistries that may include:

• concentrated single- and mixed-salt brines;
• aqueous and nonaqueous high-density liquid systems;
• ionic, molecular, or hybrid working fluids;
• particle-laden and colloidal formulations;
• CO2-assisted or other multiphase systems;
• additives, stabilizers, cosolvents, or other components used to control density, viscosity, phase behavior, precipitation, or thermal stability.

The candidate will establish systematic composition-structure-property relationships and use them to guide formulation rather than relying solely on trial-and-error screening. Experimental measurements may include density, viscosity and rheology, phase behavior, solubility, thermal stability, heat capacity, dispersion stability, sedimentation, pumpability, and chemical and materials compatibility.

A major research component will be understanding how candidate fluids evolve under extreme conditions, including:

• thermal decomposition and chemical degradation;
• salt solubility and phase separation;
• mineral dissolution and precipitation;
• secondary-phase formation;
• scaling and deposition;
• corrosion and materials compatibility;
• fluid-rock reactions;
• changes in rheological and thermophysical properties during thermal exposure.

Depending on the candidate's background, computational approaches such as thermodynamic modeling, molecular modeling, structure-property prediction, CALPHAD-type methods, or AI/ML-guided formulation screening may be used to reduce the experimental search space and accelerate fluid discovery.

LANL capabilities supporting this work include high-pressure rheometry, thermal conductivity device, Parr reactors, Dickson-style autoclaves, cold-seal and dynamic flow-through reactors, high-temperature/high-pressure Raman spectroscopy, ICP-MS/OES, XRD, SEM, thermal-analysis methods, wet-chemistry and mineralogy laboratories, core-flooding systems, and rock-mechanics facilities.

The candidate will work closely with scientists and engineers specializing in geochemistry, geomechanics, high-pressure/high-temperature experimentation, thermodynamic modeling, reactive transport, AI/ML, reservoir simulation, and geothermal engineering. The candidate will document reproducible formulation and testing methods, publish results in peer-reviewed journals, present at technical conferences, and contribute to collaborative research programs.

The position is for a two-year term, with the possibility of extension to a third year based on performance and funding availability.

Minimum Job Requirements:

• Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Geochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, or a closely related discipline with research experience relevant to liquid formulation, solution chemistry, thermodynamics, or reactive fluid systems.
• Candidates with degrees in other engineering or physical-science disciplines may be considered only if they demonstrate substantial hands-on experience designing chemical fluid formulations.
• Demonstrated experience designing and formulating liquid or multiphase fluid systems to achieve targeted properties such as density, viscosity, rheology, phase stability, solubility, thermal stability, dispersion stability, chemical compatibility, or transport behavior.
• Evidence that the candidate has personally made formulation decisions, including selection of chemical components, concentrations, additives, solvents, salts, particles, or other constituents and systematic modification of those variables to achieve performance targets.
• Hands-on laboratory experience preparing chemical formulations and quantitatively characterizing their physical and/or chemical properties.
• Experience with experimental instrumentation, laboratory equipment, data acquisition, and quantitative analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret composition-property or structure-property relationships and use experimental results to guide subsequent formulation design.
• A record of peer-reviewed research, including at least one lead-author publication, and demonstrated written, oral, and collaborative communication skills.

Important clarification: Experience limited primarily to characterization or application testing of pre-existing fluids, without substantial responsibility for formulation design, is not sufficient by itself for this position.

Education/Experience
Candidates must have received a Ph.D. within the last five years in a relevant STEM discipline or must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by the start of the appointment.

Desired Qualifications:

• High-density fluid or brine formulation, including concentrated electrolytes, mixed-salt solutions, high-salinity fluids, drilling/completion fluids, heat-transfer fluids, or other dense working fluids.
• Solution thermodynamics and phase behavior, including solubility, activity, speciation, liquid-liquid or solid-liquid equilibrium, electrolyte thermodynamics, or high-temperature aqueous chemistry.
• Molecular or thermodynamic fluid design, including development of structure-property relationships, molecular descriptors, equation-of-state methods, COSMO-based methods, molecular simulation, or predictive formulation tools.
• Ionic liquids, deep-eutectic solvents, concentrated electrolytes, advanced solvents, or other functional liquid systems.
• Rheological characterization and formulation of Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids, including viscosity, viscoelasticity, yield stress, shear-rate dependence, or suspension rheology.
• Hydrothermal geochemistry, geothermal brines, water-rock interaction, mineral dissolution/precipitation, scaling, or corrosion.
• Thermal stability and decomposition chemistry of fluids under elevated temperature and pressure.
• Colloid and suspension chemistry, including particle stabilization, dispersion, sedimentation control, surface chemistry, or particle-fluid interactions.
• Operation of high-temperature/high-pressure rheometers, autoclaves, reaction vessels, or flow-through systems. Prior HPHT experience is desirable but is not required for an otherwise strong candidate in fluid chemistry and formulation.
• Analytical characterization using techniques such as NMR, Raman, FTIR, ICP-MS/OES, ion chromatography, HPLC, GC-MS, XRD, SEM/EDS, DSC/TGA, particle-size analysis, or microscopy.
• Computational analysis using Python, MATLAB, R, or similar tools and/or experience with thermodynamic, molecular, reactive-transport, CALPHAD, or machine-learning approaches.
• Demonstrated commitment to safe, reproducible laboratory research, including experimental procedures, chemical compatibility assessment, hazard analysis, and operating documentation.

Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management.

Note to Applicants: 
No applicant is expected to have experience in every area listed above. The highest priority is demonstrated ability to design and formulate fluids based on chemical and thermophysical performance requirements. Prior geothermal experience is not required.

Applicants should submit a CV and a one-page cover letter.

In the cover letter, please describe at least one fluid or liquid formulation that you personally designed or substantially modified. Please identify:

• the targeted performance requirements;
• the chemical components or formulation variables you selected;
• why those components were selected;
• how you experimentally evaluated the formulation; and
