Design Engineer Electrolyser Modules - Eindhoven, Nederland - VDL

Beschrijving

Are you an (experienced) Mechanical Engineer or Process Engineer, with a passion for sustainable energy? Are you eager to utilize your skills for developing cutting edge technologies in the hydrogen sector? As a Design engineer electrolyser modules, you play a crucial role in designing. and optimizing systems that accelerate the energy transition. From pressure control mechanisms to advanced heat exchangers, your expertise will contribute to shaping the future of clean energy.

Your Role

As a Design Engineer, you have a pivotal role in the product creation process. You work in close cooperation with other mechanical-, chemical-, electrical- and software-engineers, to make sure all modules will be realised within spec.

The role includes the ownership of several modules within the electrolyser system, such as thermal management by heat exchangers and pressure regulation through valves and back pressure regulators. The product requirements are defined together with the system architect. After which it's up to you to design and realise the modules, going through the entire product generation process. Starting with the definition of requirements, followed by conceptual and detailed designs, and finishing with the validation of your designs through testing in the commissioning phase. Your role will focus on the process lay-out and the selection and sizing of components, detailed CAD drawing will be done by/in collaboration with a CAD design engineer.

Tasks and responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of several modules within an alkaline electrolyser, through the entire V-model.
• Create conceptual and detailed designs of your modules based on system level specifications.
• Validation of your designs through testing
• Evaluate and select materials and components and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
• Conduct structural and thermal analyses to assess the performance, reliability, and safety of designs, and implement necessary improvements.
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners and resolve technical issues.
• Stay up to date with the latest developments, trends, and advancements in electrolysis, manufacturing technologies, and industry best practices.

Requirements

• A master's level degree in Mechanical Engineering (i.e. energy technology), Chemical Process Engineering or a similar field.
• Creative technical expertise, and a proven track record in mechanical or process engineering.
• Knowledge of, and experience with design principles, V-model design, and dFMEA.
• Capable of managing multiple tasks with the ability to guide, prioritize and execute these with limited supervision.
• Capable of designing, optimizing, and implementing solutions for high-performance electrolyser systems.
• Experience with Python and/or Matlab is preferred.
• Experience with process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) design is a pre.
• Proficient in the English language, both in writing and communication, preferably also Dutch.
