WD HydroTech aims toaccelerate global energy decarbonisation by advancing a financially sustainable hydrogen supply, reducing risks, and supporting the transition to a cleaner, resilient energy future.
We are looking for a Process Engineer to join our team at the AMP Technology Centre on the Advanced Manufacturing Park near Sheffield. You'll be working on our novel electrolyser and hydrogen gas compressor technologies, reporting to our Engineering Director Dr Nigel Williamson.
As a small deep tech start-up focused on R&D, we are looking for someone with an inquisitive approach but high attention to detail in following our prescribed development road map.
Core Responsibilities
* Assisting in the assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of electrolyser and compressor components and systems.
* Supporting experiments to evaluate performance, efficiency, and durability of electrolyser prototypes.
* Collecting and documenting experimental data for analysis.
* Assisting in the preparation of technical reports and documentation.
* Researching and specifying materials and assuring compliance, costs etc.
Additional Tasks
* Conducting literature reviews on electrolysis and hydrogen production and storage to support R&D activities.
* Ensuring compliance with safety and industry standards in all R&D activities.
Skills and Experience
* 2-5 years of experience in an engineering or research role, preferably within electrolysis, fuel cells, or hydrogen technology.
* Hands-on mechanical and practical engineering skills.
* Willingness to learn and analyse experimental data to support process improvements.
* Ability to conduct literature reviews and summarise findings effectively.
* Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Desirable Skills
* Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline.
* Project management.
* Familiarity with laboratory research methods and equipment.
* Basic understanding of electrochemical processes, particularly water electrolysis and catalyst interactions.
* Knowledge of materials science and corrosion resistance in electrolyser applications.
* Exposure to computational modelling or simulation of electrochemical processes.
* Experience with CAD design (SolidWorks).
* Awareness of hydrogen industry regulations and safety standards.
