Overview

As an Instrumentation & Controls Engineer, you will be a technical leader in the design and optimization of instrumentation & controls systems for Fervo's innovative power plants. You will apply advanced engineering judgment and first-principles analysis to develop high-performance, cost-effective plant designs, while mentoring junior engineers and influencing cross-disciplinary decision-making. As Fervo transitions from first-of-a-kind projects to scaling deployment of its plants, you will play a key role in driving standardization and efficiency improvements across projects.

Responsibilities

  • Own specification generation, design, and analysis of instrumentation and control systems – including sensors, control logic, and automation architecture for power generation projects
  • Drive first-principles tradeoff analysis across instrumentation, control strategies, and automations systems to optimize plant safety, reliability, and performance
  • Identify opportunities to simplify, accelerate, and standardize I&C designs while maintaining technical excellence and reliability
  • Inform and support procurement efforts relating to instrumentation and controls scopes, including equipment specifications, control hardware, and vendor packages for power plant designs

Team and Culture

  • Demonstrate extreme ownership by taking responsibility for cost, safety, and constructability in addition to design
  • Work with urgency and resilience, embracing rapid iteration and maintaining high performance under pressure
  • Collaborate closely across disciplines (process, electrical, reservoir, drilling) as well as with external partners to drive integrated solutions
  • Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and accountability, modeling the values that define a world-class engineering team
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related degree from an ABET accredited program
  • 7 years of experience in Instrumentation & Control Engineering experience or related role
  • Strong working knowledge of industry standards and regulations
  • Ability to lead and mentor junior staff
  • Advanced oral and written communication skills, and a proven ability to write clear, thorough technical reports
  • Knowledge and application of National Electrical Code (NEC), International Society of Automation (ISA) and other applicable industry codes and standards as they apply to control system specification and design
  • Understanding of various process equipment such as vessels, tanks, heat exchangers & coolers, heaters, rotating equipment (pumps and compressors), packaged equipment, valves & specialty items
  • General understanding of all phases of project document production and the relationship between drawings and specifications
  • Field experience preferred
  • Experience with process flow / P&ID development, control narratives, Cause & Effect charts, SIS design, instrumentation studies, valve and instrument sizing, and automation / control system architecture
  • Ability to assist Process / Mechanical Engineers, support field evaluations and HAZOP / PHA reviews, and contribute to procurement (specifications, bid documents, instrument / PLC I / O lists)
  • Location

    Fervo Energy has offices in Houston, TX, Golden, CO, Reno, NV, Oakland, CA, and Salt Lake City, UT. This position will be eligible for some hybrid work flexibility, but regular in-office presence at any of the above locations will be required.
