The energy sector is transforming-and the nation needs innovative, data-driven minds to secure an energy future that is affordable, reliable, and sustainable.
At KeyLogic, you will play a meaningful role in meeting these challenges. As the prime contractor supporting the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the Strategic Analysis (SA) contract, KeyLogic evaluates the technical, economic, resource, environmental, policy, and market aspects of complex energy systems. Our multidisciplinary teams apply sound engineering principles, deep domain expertise, and analytical leadership to shed light on new energy concepts and technologies to inform decision-makers.
KeyLogic is seeking to expand its Energy Analysis team with multiple positions available across disciplines and levels of experience.
We welcome applications from those with strong technical backgrounds, especially in engineering, science, economics, and statistics. A successful candidate might be an early-career chemical engineer (with a nascent interest in CO2 capture), or an established luminary in environmental science with a lengthy publication record and Ph.D.
What You Will Do
The Energy Analysis team applies technical analytical tools to local, state, and national energy challenges in the domains of energy technology development, resource sustainability, and carbon management. The team supports NETL in five areas of analytical competency:
O Energy market & infrastructure analysis
O Environmental life cycle analysis (LCA)
O Process & cost engineering research
O Process systems engineering research
O Resource & subsurface analysis
For example, a successful candidate may conduct a techno-economic analysis of combined-cycle natural gas turbine supply chains, or program an LCA model to better assess environmental effects of growth in solar thermal generation .
Mid-career hires may be tasked with contributing to program planning and management, external outreach and collaboration, and coordination of special projects. Experienced hires will function as "senior thought leaders," developing new and novel analytical methods while supervising and mentoring junior team members.
