Senior Mechanical Engineer
Fourier
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 Senior Mechanical Engineer to aid in the design, assembly, testing, and optimization of our system. The Fourier hardware platform integrates complex systems, including low to medium-pressure water and gas piping, medium-voltage high-power electronics, and hydrogen gas production and processing in outdoor environments. We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in designing robust, safety-critical hardware systems. Fourier engineers work in a hands-on, collaborative environment to solve problems and advance progress. Qualified candidates should have prior hands-on experience in a mechanical lab or an industrial company.
Roles and responsibilities
- Complete lifecycle ownership (concept & detailed design, prototyping, assembly, deployment & support) of major components and assemblies within the Fourier product line
- Create and maintain supporting documentation for your systems, including engineering drawings and Bill of Materials
- Assess failure modes that involve thermal/structural/electrical/chemical/fluid interactions
- Problem-solving and risk mitigation
- Oversee the assembly and setup of benchtop test rigs, prototypes, and production units
Qualifications
Required:
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
- 4+ years of relevant experience
- Hands-on experience assembling mechanical and piping systems
- Experience designing and building structures, from 3D CAD and/or 2D drawings through fabrication and assembly
- Experience designing and developing cost-optimized solutions
- Comfortable performing hand calculations
Preferred:
- Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D) in Mechanical Engineering or relevant field
- Experience in the following areas:
- FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
- High-pressure industrial gas systems
- Designing and analyzing energy and/or thermal management systems
- Designing gas and/or liquid processing systems
- Designing enclosures, busbars, and/or wire harnesses for electromechanical systems
- Leak detection methodologies and implementation
- Industrial-scale fluid handling systems
What we offer
- Fully 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
- Free lunches
