Approach

We imagine it. Build It. Prove It.

Our approach is grounded in real engineering. We test, tune, and refine every system ourselves, turning complex thermodynamics into proven, high-performance solutions. 
While others pitch ideas, we deliver results built on validation, not speculation.

Hands-on is how we think.

At Echogen, innovation happens on the floor, not just the drawing board. Our engineers design, prototype, and test in tight, hands-on loops, compressing years of R&D into months. It’s how we move faster, solve smarter, and deliver systems that perform in the real world.
Rapid iteration

We move fast without cutting corners. Small, focused teams design, prototype, and refine in tight loops, compressing years of R&D into months and getting real hardware into the field faster.

Cross-functional engineering

There’s no handoff between teams. Our engineers take systems from the first sketch to validation, combining their expertise in mechanical, thermal, electrical, and controls to solve problems efficiently.

Build-test-learn cycle

Every breakthrough comes from repeated cycles of hands-on builds, lab testing, and real-world validation—so our systems perform in practice, not just on paper.

Hands-on by design

Echogen is built around the shop floor, not the boardroom. From our tools to our team structure, everything supports rapid iteration, physical validation, and solving problems by building.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Engineered for 
the real world.

Practical innovation
Our innovation is systems-driven and application-specific. We advance designs that improve thermal efficiency, operational reliability, or cost structure, prioritizing performance over novelty.
Thermodynamic advantage
We engineer around the proven physics of supercritical CO₂. Its high density and favorable heat transfer characteristics enable compact, high-efficiency cycles outperforming traditional systems using low-cost, stable materials.
Design for deployment
We design for the full lifecycle from fabrication to operation. Our architectures prioritize manufacturability, modular construction, and maintainability, ensuring scalable deployment with minimal complexity in the field.

Proven partners for real-world progress.

We collaborate with industry leaders to accelerate deployment, validate performance, and bring practical energy solutions to scale. These partnerships aren’t press releases; they’re project-based, performance-driven, and built on mutual trust.
Built for partnership

From early feasibility to full-scale deployment, we work side-by-side with EPCs and developers to co-design, validate, and scale PTES solutions that deliver real commercial value.

Lead Engineer on PTES

“As a college intern at Echogen, I was tasked with developing foundational project documentation that would prove essential throughout the entire project life cycle. After my internship, I joined the team 
full-time and became a key contributor to the commissioning and testing of a first-of-its-kind, megawatt-scale CO₂ waste heat recovery system. Today, as a Senior Engineer, I lead projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible in CO₂ based turbomachinery and systems. The work demands persistence, creativity, and patience, and that’s exactly what makes it rewarding. At Echogen, you’re not just part of the process, you help shape it.”

Our values, put to work.

At Echogen, our values aren’t slogans. They’re how we operate. We move fast, think deep, and build systems that work in the real world. With a high-density team of curious, straight-talking engineers, we focus on pure, no-nonsense engineering that performs.

  • Technical excellence with dirty hands
    We don’t just model. We build, test, and refine every system ourselves.
  • Pragmatic innovation, engineered to last
    Our ideas are ambitious, but our approach is grounded. We solve for reliability, cost, and deployment.

  • Progress without pretense
    We believe in direct answers, common-sense thinking, and doing the work. Our team doesn’t overpromise. We overdeliver.
