Mechanical Design Engineer – Fuel Cell Stack

EHG is developing cutting-edge fuel cell technology for heavy duty mobility and large-scale stationary power applications. Our uniquely redesigned product is a significantly more compact fuel cell with high power density and lower costs of production. Faced with the challenges of climate change and the transition to a decentralised energy system, EHG seeks to provide high performance and cost-effective fuel cell solutions to our clients and partners.

To help achieve our vision of a decarbonised future we are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to develop the cell and stack architecture at the heart of our compact, high power density fuel cell products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design/conceptualise fuel cell stack components such end plates, compression and clamping hardware
• Produce 3D models, detailed drawings and tolerancing (GD&T) with stack tolerance analysis
• Apply design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly principles to stack components
• Support prototyping, stack build, leak and performance testing
• Work coordination between R&D and production team
• Work with various suppliers for component orders
• Maintain BOMs, work with PDM and engineering changes in PLM

• BSc/MSc in mechanical engineering is mandatory
• Minimum 4-5 years of mechanical design experience in an engineering hardware business; fuel cells or electrolysers an advantage
• Proficiency with 3D CAD (ex. SolidWorks) and in-depth understanding of GD&T
• Understanding of DFM/DFA and of thin-metal forming, coating, laser welding and joining processes
• In-depth understanding of thermofluidic and aspects related to fuel cells
• Able to own a design end-to-end while working closely with team members
• Knowledge of sealing design, flow distribution, contact pressure or materials corrosion is a plus
• Team player able to work autonomously with internal and external experts
• Excellent spoken and written English is mandatory; French/German is a plus
