About the role
TL;DR
Lead mechanical design, analysis, integration, and validation of commercial hydrogen production systems.
- •We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with deep hands-on expertise to lead mechanical design, analysis, integration, and validation of our commercial hydrogen production systems.
- •This is a high-ownership role spanning all subunits and design aspects and the full balance-of-plant envelope that ties them together.
- •Key Responsibilities Lead concept development, design trades, and down-select decisions for all mechanical subsystems from water purification through post-production H₂ purification Own 3D CAD design of complex parts and assemblies using SolidWorks or equivalent
- •including sheet metal, plastics, insulation systems, sealing methods, connectors, and fasteners Collaborate closely with the electrical and electronics engineering teams to integrate high-voltage (HV) power electronics and low-voltage (LV) control, sensing, and communications systems into mechanical enclosures Design packaging solutions for HV electrical assemblies
- •including bus bars, power modules, and high-current connectors
- •ensuring proper insulation, creepage/clearance compliance, and thermal management Design and validate cooling technologies (heat exchangers, forced-air systems) for thermal management of electrolyzer stacks, power electronics, and ancillary electrical components Requirements B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent; 6+ years of relevant experience in commercial product design and development First-principles understanding of statics, mechanics, materials science, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics
- •with the ability to apply these rapidly in hand calculations Extensive experience taking mechanical designs from concept through production, including prototype builds and manufacturing release Proven experience in DFM/DFA
- •working hand-in-hand with manufacturing partners to optimize designs for producibility, assembly, and reliability Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks strongly preferred) and Thermal & Structural FEA tools
