Mechanical Engineer

M2X Energy is a provider of low carbon methanol from stranded methane gas sources. M2X is a

well-funded, venture-backed company, established by Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Our

mission is to reduce the amount of natural gas that is flared and instead to create economically

viable products. M2X Energy was founded on the belief that climate change must be addressed

in our lifetime, and that solutions must be economically viable to have the greatest impact.

Today M2X Energy is rethinking how fuels and chemicals are made to minimize wasteful gas

flaring and reduce the associated environmental and social consequences.

Role

The Mechanical Engineer will develop and productize powertrain and gas compressor

technologies for an economical gas-to-liquid synthesis system utilizing flare gas and other

stranded gases. You will help define the bill of materials and assembly instructions for M2X’s

engine and compressor subsystems. You will also specify and source components on each skid

to improve performance, cost, and durability. You will be a key member of the rapidly growing

M2X technical team during a very exciting time in our company’s history, as we continue

development and begin manufacturing and deployment of our commercial product. This rapid

development cycle will allow the successful Mechanical Engineer to lead many exciting projects

and develop innovative solutions to any challenges encountered. Expectations are that this role

will design future powertrain systems for our commercial unit and collaborate with both

internal and external fabricators and suppliers to build the hardware. This role has significant

career growth potential, as the role will continue to grow and evolve alongside the company

itself.

The Mechanical Engineer must work effectively as part of a team and represent M2X Energy

well with partners and customers. The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional

technical competence and proficiency in powertrain design, operation, and testing. The ideal

candidate will also demonstrate a passion for developing new technologies to mitigate the

worst effects of climate change.
