Job Description

H2MOF is tackling climate change by solving the greatest challenge facing the hydrogen economy: safe and efficient hydrogen storage. We are looking for a Cryogenic Mechanical Engineer to help with developing the next generation solid-state hydrogen storage systems and associated hydrogen refueling/charging equipment. The engineer is expected to contribute towards the product strategy, P&ID, component design, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of low-temperature capable products and equipment, including vacuum insulated containers, cryogenic liquid transfer systems, valves, pumps, regulators, and safety systems. The Cryogenic Mechanical Engineer is expected to procure/build prototypes, test prototypes to evaluate functionality and performance, collaborate with engineers and scientists to refine prototype designs, and document and report testing results and prototype performance. This position involves hands-on assembly of cryogenic and high pressure systems, hydrogen system prototype testing and collaborative work spanning extended hours.

• Prepare cryogenic system designs and engineering drawings, BOMs and P&IDs.
• Build prototypes and assemble cryogenic and pressure components.
• Coordinate prototype manufacturing with suppliers and subcontractors.
• Collaborate with Test Engineers on test setups and prototype testing.

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, with a minimum of 3 years of work experience in cryostats, vacuum insulation, cryogenic liquid transfer, fittings, valves, and cryogenic safety.
• Knowledge of cryogenic fluids, materials for low temperature service, cryogenic equipment, cryogenic vessels, fittings, valves, piping, hoses, components, cryogenic physical and equipment hazards.
• Proficiency in specifying and assembling cryogenic and high pressure fittings.
• Willingness to undertake tedious assembly or testing including long-duration runs, troubleshooting and iterative improvements.
• Interpersonal and communication skills to consult with scientists, engineers, and other stakeholders and to provide them with clear progress reports and suggestions for improvement.
• Cryogenic certification is a plus.
• Experience with hydrogen handling, safety and permitting is a plus.
• Expertise in PLC and/or LabView programming is a plus.
