Fervo is working to build the most cost-effective, repeatable geothermal power plants in the world. Delivering on this mission requires operational excellence across every function — including the reservoir models and calibration workflows that translate field data into a predictive understanding of how our fractured geothermal reservoirs behave.
Joining Fervo as a Reservoir Engineer focused on reservoir modeling and history matching means owning the calibration of our subsurface models against real field performance — both the stimulation fracture growth created during completions and the production and pressure response of the reservoir over time. This role also defines and drives the testing and data acquisition programs needed to close calibration gaps and continuously improve history-matching accuracy. The position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys rigorous model-to-data reconciliation, diagnosing the sources of mismatch, and designing the next test that resolves it.
The Reservoir Engineer will build, calibrate, and maintain reservoir and fracture models, with a strong focus on history matching both stimulation-induced fracture growth and reservoir production/pressure behavior. This role emphasizes quantitative rigor, root-cause diagnosis of model mismatch, and the design of targeted diagnostic testing to improve match quality over time.
The position collaborates closely with Completions, D&C, Reservoir, and Data Science teams to align stimulation design, field data acquisition, and simulation workflows so that models stay predictive as the asset base grows.
