Senior Stimulation Engineer

Responsibilities Treatment Design: Own end-to-end treatment design, including fluid volume and concentration, carrier fluid selection, injection rate, and pressure limits below fracture gradient

Reaction Engineering: Characterize reaction kinetics and penetration depth to determine treatment sizing, and manage precipitation and formation-damage risk in spent-fluid behavior

Placement & Diversion: Design placement and diversion strategies that achieve coverage across the full treated interval, for both standalone (e.g., bullhead) and frac-integrated deployment, and help determine which delivery mode fits each well and customer

Laboratory Program: Specify and interpret core flood testing on target-formation rock to quantify permeability improvement; direct dissolution-kinetics, mineralogy characterization, brine-compatibility, and precipitation testing in partnership with our chemistry team

Field Execution: Own the field deployment protocol, supervise treatments on location, interpret real-time pressure response to confirm placement, and lead post-job evaluation including flowback chemistry (dissolved Al, Si, Fe)

Formation Screening: Build the screening criteria that determine which formations and basins PetroX Boost serves, enabling expansion across basins and mineralogies

Customer Engagement: Serve as the senior technical authority with operators’ engineering teams, articulating the case for PetroX Boost relative to conventional acid and chelant systems

Platform Development: Support evaluation of additional oilfield applications for our chemical platform as they emerge

Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field; advanced degree welcome but not required

8+ years of hands-on stimulation or acidizing experience, with personal end-to-end ownership of treatment designs and their outcomes

Production enhancement experience across multiple basins

Technical depth in matrix acidizing, reaction kinetics, placement and diversion, and precipitation and formation damage

Experience specifying or interpreting core flood and rock-fluid interaction testing

Demonstrated ability to design for novel fluid systems where field history and offset data do not yet exist

Comfortable as the most senior technical voice with operators, for both technical buyers and executive decision makers

Bias toward action and strong ownership; comfortable without a corporate playbook

Strong desire to meaningfully contribute to American dynamism and the global resource supply chain

Preferred Qualifications Formal chemistry training alongside a stimulation engineering career

Direct experience in the Permian, Bakken, and Eagle Ford basins

Experience with bio-based chemistries

Experience with both standalone treatments and stimulation integrated into completions

Working familiarity with production chemical programs (scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, demulsifiers) and how stimulation fluids interact with them

Operator and service company experience

Additional Requirements Must be willing to work on-site in Austin, TX

Willing to travel to customer offices, field sites, other MaverickX facilities, and industry events, as needed

Willing to work extended hours, as needed
