Sr. Mechanical Engineer, Thermal And Fluid Systems

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 RoleWe 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 responsibilitiesDesign 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
QualificationsRequired: 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 hydrogen or similar gasses
Thermal FEA and fluid analysis (CFD)
Packaging design for thermal and fluids systems
What we offerFully paid Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
Competitive salary and equity compensation commensurate with experience
401k
Diverse and inclusive work environment
Paid sick days and vacation
