Engenie is an engineering practice focused on clean energy, first-of-a-kind technology, and the teams that build them.
We work on problems where the technology is complex, the path forward is still taking shape, and good decisions require both technical depth and a view of the larger system. That can mean developing a new piece of scientific infrastructure, helping an engineering organization move from R&D into execution, or evaluating how an energy project affects emissions, health, climate, and communities.
Engenie was founded by Jake McNevin after more than a decade building particle accelerator systems and technical organizations. The practice is built to align his passion for improving human and planetary wellbeing with professional output.
about engenie
the vision
engenie exists to empower the innovation that moves us toward clean energy and a more just, sustainable future. We work alongside the people building that future to help bring ideas for positive impact to fruition.
We envision a clean energy transition that serves as a powerful catalyst for social and environmental justice. We work to dismantle systemic inequities and ensure that the tangible benefits of progress actively uplift the communities that have been historically underserved and overburdened.
This vision is the compass for our work. It shapes every project we take on, guaranteeing we dedicate our technical expertise to solutions where technology acts as a lever for equity, restoring both our communities and our shared planet.
our team
Jake founded engenie to help bring creative ideas to fruition and to point creativity toward confronting climate change. He holds a Master of Engineering in Energy Systems from the University of Illinois and spent over a decade leading teams that built first-of-a-kind particle accelerators and radioisotope production labs, growing companies from a few people to a few hundred. He is climate advocate in California, and often found in its waters or woods.Jacob McNevin, founder
