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 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.

Your Impact

• Lead mechanical and electro-mechanical design of Eden’s next-generation downhole stimulation and energy-delivery systems operating at high temperature (>300 °C) and high pressure (>10 000 psi).
• Architect structural and mechanical systems surrounding electrical assemblies, ensuring reliable integration and compliance with thermal and pressure constraints.
• Perform FEA / CFD modeling for stress, vibration, fatigue, and heat transfer in cyclic HPHT environments.
• Design and qualify pressure vessels, housings, and protective enclosures to relevant ASME and ISO standards.
• Manage a small, multidisciplinary team of mechanical engineers and technicians; set priorities, review designs, and mentor junior staff.
• Collaborate with electrical and power-electronics teams to achieve seamless electro-mechanical performance and thermal management.
• Engage directly with vendors, fabrication partners, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
• Apply Lean / Six Sigma methodologies to improve design, assembly, and test efficiency.
• Drive prototype builds from concept through lab validation and field deployment; lead design reviews, documentation, and milestone tracking.
• Support field mobilizations—configure, commission, and troubleshoot mechanical systems during test campaigns (travel ~10–20%).
