Job Information

The Principal Engineer is responsible for the direction, execution, control and completion of an electrolyzer product development project. A deep technical knowledge of electrochemical stack design and technology, along with electromechanical component selection and integration are critical to ensure product design is aligned with the technical requirements set at the component and system assembly level. The Principal Engineer will lead a complex, cross departmental project in the field of hydrogen generating electrolyzer product development, including both the cell stack assembly and the balance of plant. Technical leadership and support for overall systems design, development and integration of mechanical, structural and thermal systems is critical. A detailed knowledge of PEM electrolysis and fuel cell stack key to quality features, impacts on performance and durability, as well as manufacturability, will be critical to success. The Principal Engineer will serve as the primary person responsible for aligning project schedules and resources with overall program timeline and budgets and ensuring execution meets technical product and business case requirements. The Principal Engineer will utilize a wide spectrum of business and technical knowledge and skills to assess risks and assure the project is addressing critical aspects that may impact the project.
