Fourier is working on making on-site Hydrogen universally accessible. Our breakthrough architecture enables highly modular and fully automated Electrolyzers that scale to any size and optimize efficiency at all loads. We are on a mission to transition the global energy landscape towards a purely sustainable and emission free future.
About The Role
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to aid in thermal and fluid systems design, assembly, testing, and optimization of our system. Fourier engineers work in a hands-on, collaborative environment to solve problems and push progress forward. Qualified candidates should have prior hands-on experience working in a mechanical lab or industrial company.
Roles and responsibilities
- Design and validate air and liquid cooling technologies for thermal management of electrolyzer stacks and electrical components.
- Optimize cooling solutions for all aspects of their performance, cost, and reliability
- Review process flow diagrams, and create P&IDs and mechanical design
- Perform analysis to validate fluid & thermal performance and safety of the designs
- Facilitate selection of the optimal hardware components (heat exchanger, pump, fan, sensors, pipes, valves, fittings etc.) from external suppliers
- Collaborate with power systems and product teams to aid in system integration
- Assess failure modes that involve thermal/structural/electrical/chemical/fluid interactions
- Develop test plans and lead thermal & fluid systems lab test, and validation activities
- Create and maintain Balance of Plant cost/Bill of Materials
- Oversee the assembly and setup of prototypes, and production units
Qualifications
Required:
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent with 5+ years of relevant experience
- First-principles physics understanding of engineering disciplines such as: heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics
- Experience in 2D/3D CAD piping and thermal system design
- Extensive experience taking designs from concept through production
- Experience in DFM, DFA and cost optimization
- Hands-on experience assembling mechanical components
- Familiarity with mechanical and structural design
- Skills: 3D CAD (Solidworks or similar), 2D Drawings, GD&T
Preferred:
- Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D) in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field
- Experience in the following areas:
- Hands-on work with gas and/or water piping
- FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
- Working with hydroge
