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 Electrical Engineer will lead development of electrical systems for the automation of an
economical gas-to-liquid synthesis system utilizing flare gas and other stranded gases. You will
lead the development and integration of various electrical components, including 480V
motors/drives, high voltage and low voltage electric circuits, instrumentation, controllers, and
associated enclosures. 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 Electrical Engineer to lead many exciting projects and develop innovative
solutions to any challenges encountered. Expectations are that this role will design all future
electrical system architectures for our commercial unit and collaborate with both internal and
external fabricators and suppliers to build the electrical system hardware. This role has
significant career growth potential, as the role will continue to grow and evolve alongside the
company itself.
The Electrical Engineer must work effectively as part of a team and represent M2X Energy well
