Job Description

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
