We are Hgen, and we are working to secure a sustainable energy future by reducing emissions in industries that are traditionally difficult to decarbonize. By making green hydrogen affordable and accessible, we aim to address a significant portion of global emissions, and we are looking for a Principal Mechanical Design Engineer to help us lead this mission.
Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of the design and development process for our advanced alkaline electrolyzer, covering everything from individual cells and stacks to the balance of plant.
- Serve as the lead engineer while collaborating across disciplines with our research and engineering teams to identify the most efficient and effective solutions.
- Guide our system-level architecture by balancing component capabilities against potential vulnerabilities to lower the overall cost of hydrogen production.
Must-haves
- A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as mechanical or aerospace engineering.
- At least 5 years of professional experience focused on the design and analysis of complex mechanical systems.
- A solid grasp of fundamental principles regarding solid mechanics and fluid or gas systems.
- Fluency in English.
Nice-to-haves
- Proven experience in designing, building, testing, and troubleshooting intricate mechanical systems.
- Practical industry experience working with high-pressure fluid, gas, or high-voltage systems.
- Deep knowledge of design for manufacturing, including various processes for polymers and metals.
- A background in rapid iterative prototyping and bringing products from the NPI phase through to full production.
- Experience thriving in fast-paced environments that prioritize iterative design.
- Strong project management abilities and the capacity to explain complex technical concepts to diverse teams.
- A commitment to first-principles decision making and a genuine passion for climate change solutions.
