Role
Who you are
- You are a self-motivated team player excited to build a new generation of electrolysis equipment
- Pursuing BS or MS in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering or similar
- 3D modeling and drawing skills
- Tolerance analysis
- Problem solving skills
- Requirements documentation, maintenance, and verification
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Seal/gasket analysis and design
- Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, and mass transport
- Experience with electrolyzers, fuel cells, and/or batteries
What the job involves
- Electric Hydrogen is searching for a Stack Mechanical Engineering Co-Op who wants to save the world and work on cutting edge, game changing technology
- At Electric Hydrogen, coops are treated no differently than our engineers and are expected to be an integral part of the team
- In this role, you will use your interdisciplinary skills to create compelling mechanical components & system designs.
- You will work onsite in our Natick location and report into the Lead Mechanical Engineer
- Participate in the product development cycles (design, build, verify) of electrolyzer stacks and key components such as plates, seals, electrode assemblies, compression hardware, and fluid interfaces
- Perform design and analysis of electrolyzer stacks and components relative to requirements
- Analyses may consist of pressure drop and fluid distribution analysis using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural finite element analysis (FEA) for component deflection, mechanical failure, and sealing as well as heat transfer and mass transport analyses
- Develop and document requirements based on applications, interfaces, codes, and standards
- Generate 3D models and drawings of electrolyzer stacks and components
- Perform tolerance analysis of components and assemblies
- Develop and write part and material specifications
- Work with supply chain and/or suppliers to procure parts and materials and write and oversee plans to verify they meet drawings and specifications
- Develop in-situ and ex-situ design verification plans and work with test engineers, suppliers to conduct the design verification and materials testing. In some cases, directly carry out the in-situ and ex-situ design verification and material tests, data analyses, and reporting
- All students will have the opportunity to develop communication skills, gain laboratory experience and benefit from a valuable experience within a start-up culture while learning about the energy industry
Our take
Decarbonising heavy industry - a sector responsible for a staggering 30% of global emissions - presents a unique challenge. Traditional methods often rely on processes incompatible with existing electrical grids. Electric Hydrogen is stepping in to tackle this problem head-on.
Electric Hydrogen is attempting to change this by producing affordable green hydrogen through a patented, renewable-powered electrolysis process. This approach is specifically designed for the high-volume, low-cost needs of large-scale industrial operations. Founded in 2020, Electric Hydrogen has wasted no time securing significant investments and attracting top talent. The team boasts years of experience from industry giants like Tesla and First Solar, lending a powerful pedigree to its mission.
While electrolysis-produced hydrogen currently makes up a small portion of global production, the future looks bright. Ambitious net-zero targets across industries are driving a surge in demand for clean energy solutions and Electric Hydrogen has embarked upon a series of acquisitions to bolster its solutions. With its innovative technology and experienced leadership, Electric Hydrogen is well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum and play a significant role in the journey toward a greener future.
