Senior Mechanical Engineer

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:
