Reservoir Engineering and Simulation Development Engineer

About the position:

Chevron ENGINE is looking for high-performing candidates to join our Reservoir Engineering and Simulation team with a focus on software development. The Reservoir Engineering and Simulation team focuses on field development/application as well as technology development. This role performs Reservoir Engineering and Simulation related software development to support Chevron operations. Will be involved in enhancing Chevron’s Reservoir Simulation and Optimization workflows to provide differentiating capability and integration of a mix of proprietary and best-in-class vendor products. The senior simulation development engineer should have sufficient experience and expertise to coach and mentor others in the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Teaming with US-based R&D groups focusing on developing and deploying reservoir simulation and optimization products and workflows

• Targeted user-experience and data management development, e.g., GUI, Power-BI, data engineering, machine learning engineering, and mature digital MVPs (Minimal Viable Products)

• Application testing, pipeline, build and release in cloud platform

• Application run, maintain and user support

• Development of technical software and training documentation

• Coaching and mentoring

Required Qualifications:

• BSc/MSc degree in Petroleum Engineering or related areas

• At least three years of experience in Petroleum Engineering or related industry
