At Factor2 Energy, we are on a mission to revolutionize the geothermal market. Our vision is to scale the global geothermal potential rapidly and to provide 24/7, green energy at competitive rates by utilizing CO2 as working fluid.
“Work smarter, not harder!” Our approach uses CO₂ as the working fluid in geothermal power generation – enabling emission-free, efficient, and baseload-capable electricity. By repurposing geological formations that either naturally contain CO₂ or are designated for carbon capture and storage (CCS), we transform passive storage sites into active, sustainable energy resources. Our technology leverages the unique thermophysical properties of CO₂ to unlock significantly more viable sites than conventional geothermal energy – without fracking, without new drilling technologies, and by building on existing infrastructure and know-how.
Actually, it’s “Work smarter and harder!” The climate crisis is the greatest challenge in human history! We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious individuals who want to be part of the solution and have a sustainable impact.
Turn your expertise into climate impact
We are looking for a Master’s Thesis student to work closely with Michael (our CTO) and the R&D team on developing hybrid geothermal–solar energy systems. Your mission will be to model and optimize the integration of our CO₂-based geothermal cycle with PV and battery storage. This role will be central to evaluating system performance, flexibility, and economic potential, supporting early-phase project development and technical validation.
Your main tasks:
- Perform cycle modelling and optimization of the new hybrid system concept
- Integrate and assess this concept across different energy markets
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Ensure strong engineering and economic foundations for the project
What you bring:
- Enrollment in a Master’s program in Process Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related field
- Knowledge and practical experience in Python (mandatory)
- Basic understanding of energy markets; internship or working-student experience is expected
- Strong analytical skills and a structured working style
- Excellent written and spoken English; German is a plus
What we offer:
- Direct leadership access
- Tangible, measurable impact
- Flexible working time
Not ticking every box? Apply anyway!
At Factor2 Energy, we believe in potential over perfection. You don’t need to meet every single requirement to be the right fit for this role. What matters most to us is your motivation, your willingness to learn, and your ambition to grow with us.
We see learning and development as a core part of our culture. If you’re excited about our mission and ready to take on new challenges, we’d love to hear from you — even if your experience doesn’t tick every box.
