The CompanyMaverickX is engineering the future of chemistry for natural resource extraction. We are intensely focused on bringing economic value to our customers, shareholders, and employees - while solving pressing resource challenges facing the United States and the world. The TeamThe Senior Bio Process Engineer is responsible for fully owning and scaling Maverick's production capability. You will be a key member of the operations leadership team and will work directly with the Chief Executive Officer, while partnering closely with Technical, Sales & Business Development, and Finance. You will sit at the intersection of process, production, and commercialization, ensuring that manufacturing output is consistent, scalable, and aligned with real-world deployment needs. This role requires constant interaction across the organization to translate technical capabilities into reliable production and to ensure that manufacturing never becomes a constraint on growth. The RoleIn this hands-on role, you will take full ownership of manufacturing performance at Maverick's Pleasanton production facility, ensuring that output, yield, and operational reliability are delivered consistently, at scale, and in alignment with commercial demand. You will be responsible for transforming an early-stage production system into a predictable, high-throughput manufacturing operation. This includes driving process scale-up, eliminating variability, and establishing the systems required for continuous, repeatable production. You will oversee reactor performance, downstream processing, and plant operations, ensuring that every batch meets defined quality and yield targets. You will define and control cost per liter, identify and remove bottlenecks, and implement the process controls necessary to support sustained scale. This is a highly visible role at the center of Maverick's operations. You will work directly across Technical, Sales & Business Development, and Operations to ensure that manufacturing reliably supports field deployments and commercial growth. This role is critical to building a scalable industrial platform. The environment is fast-paced, execution-driven, and requires operating in real-world conditions rather than ideal ones.
