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
