Company mission
To make molecules to decarbonize our world!
Role
Who you are
- Multiple full product development cycles on complex products, working as the responsible engineer taking designs from requirement definition through implementation
- Experience hiring and managing engineers and leading high functioning engineering teams through the design of complex products
- Ability to establish optimal engineering processes and implement efficient engineering tools (3D CAD, Product Lifecycle Management, Design Development Process, Bills of Materials)
- Experience with optimized designs and world class design outcomes
- Experience exploring potential design solution spaces both broadly and deeply to find globally optimal solutions
What the job involves
- You will build and lead the team responsible for the mechanical design of the fluid and thermal systems for our products
- You will lead the team carrying these first-of-their-kind designs from initial concept through to implementation at massive scale
- You will split time between our offices in San Jose and San Carlos, CA with an allowable hybrid work schedule
- Depending on the phase of the project, up to 20% of your time might be best spent at vendors’ sites or on project sites
- You will report directly into the VP of Product Engineering
- Lead the mechanical design of the fluid and thermal systems for our products
- Build the team, establish the design practices, develop the engineering processes, and set up the engineering tools required to take designs through the full lifecycle from requirements gathering and blue-sky concepting into implementation at massive scale
- Bring together materials, components, and ideas for a range of industries to create novel solutions to fluid system design problems
- Partner with process engineers to develop process flow diagrams and piping & instrumentation diagrams and to translate process design into mechanical design
- Explore design solution spaces broadly and deeply through the establishment of figures of merit and through a detailed understanding of cost structures
- Lead the team as a highly technical design architect as well as a deeply experienced design engineer
- Collaborate with teams throughout the company including stack engineering, power systems engineering, product management as well as with outside contractors and consultants
- Bring or build expertise in relevant codes and standards including ANSI 22734 (Hydrogen Generators Using Water Electrolysis)
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.
