What You Will Do
- Lead and mentor engineers in mechanical, process, electrical and automation disciplines.
- Drive technology development and product design for scalable manufacturing of advanced industrial systems.
- Actively participate in technical problem-solving and design decisions.
- Apply systems engineering to ensure designs meet performance, safety, manufacturability, and lifecycle requirements according to product requirements.
- Work closely with manufacturing, R&D, and supply chain to ensure cost-efficient industrialization.
- Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards.
- Serve as a senior internal and external technical authority in PEM electrolyser systems supporting customer interactions.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.
What We Are Looking For
- Master’s degree in mechanical, Electrical, Process Engineering or equivalent.
- Hands-on experience with PEM electrolysers, hydrogen systems, or similar advanced industrial technologies such as fuel cells, electrochemical process equipment, high-pressure gas systems, or other complex process and energy systems.
- Proven track record in end-to-end product development for advanced industrial products.
- Experience taking technology from concept to market.
- Strong background in leading 10–15-person multidisciplinary teams in complex environments.
- Demonstrated ability to apply systems thinking to see the complete product ecosystem.
- Skilled in asking the right technical questions to uncover issues and improve designs.
