Our outstanding people are our most important asset and will allow us to deliver hydrogen from renewable electrolysis for heavy industry, at prices below fossil fuels.
In this role, you will build and lead the team responsible for the mechanical design of the fluid and thermal systems for our products. These utility-scale systems are the most expensive component of our products, and the development of relentlessly optimized designs is a critical step in enabling the decarbonization of the hydrogen industry. In this role, 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.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- 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)
PRIOR EXPERIENCE:
- 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)
- Track record of highly optimized designs and world class design outcomes
- Extensive experience exploring potential design solution spaces both broadly and deeply to find globally optimal solutions
