Job Description

Electric Hydrogen’s mission is to create an abundant and decarbonized material future. 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. 
Electric Hydrogen is looking to expand our Prototype Engineering team. The company mission is clear: Decarbonize all that is hard to decarbonize. Solar steel mills, wind-powered cement plants, renewable fertilizer plants. All these things are out of reach now. We will change that.
In order to reach that victory condition, we need to learn as quickly as possible how to build these high-performance systems quickly and cheaply. The Prototype team will be responsible for delivering pathfinder equipment, parts and systems at an extraordinary pace.
As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design and deployment of the mechanical portion of these systems. This includes mechanical design, analysis, tolerance stack ups, material selection, drawings and assembly/test. This is done in a context of a high-ownership culture where our target is to complete a full design cycle every 6-12 weeks, with weekly revisions on components as needed.
Role reports to the Director of Prototype Engineering in the SF Bay Area. Position will be onsite at our Lab in Natick, MA or in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Mechanical design of prototype components and systems for next generation electrolysis equipment, in a high-ownership culture. With support from the team, you will drive multiple engineering projects to completion, concept to implementation.

  • Direct experience with engineering materials like 6AL4V, 7075-T6, PTFE, 316L, C172, 440C
  • Knowledge of modern fabrication processes like 5-axis milling, turning, EDM, laser welding
  • Familiarity and experience with engineering software tools such as FEA and CFD, as well as basic spreadsheet modeling of mechanical systems
  • Knowledge of electrical and software systems required for automation and/or data acquisition
  • Experience working with academic researchers
  • Hydrogen gas experience
  • Rocket propulsion experience
  • Lots of fun hobby projects like a solar powered bike, RC planes or your own 3d printer
  • Leadership experience in volunteer organizations
  • BSME, MS in mechanical engineering
  • Passion for decarbonization highly preferred
