ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
This company's hydrogen generation systems produce local hydrogen close to the application. This saves customers money and reduces the carbon intensity associated with the legacy challenges of liquifying and transporting hydrogen. This allows the company to serve a diverse set of end-users, including traditional consumers in the industrial gas and chemicals industries and those using hydrogen to power the fast-growing fuel cell segment.
The are currently hiring for an electrical engineer who want to help shape the energy transition to affordable hydrogen.
This position will be based remotely initially, but the candidate will be expected to eventually be based at the planned Houston, TX site.
The electrical engineer will be a critical part of the Technology team overseeing the design, commissioning, and startup of current and future hydrogen hubs. The electrical engineer will not only be heavily involved in starting up hydrogen SMR hubs as they come online but will also have early engagement in the site layout, utilities/civil requirements, and equipment design for future hubs. The electrical engineer will ensure that the hub design conforms to applicable electrical/power standards and area classifications and build a significant body of knowledge around electrical/power requirements and equipment interfaces for future facilities.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Perform process calculations around utility and power draw and oversee the specification of electrical components including controls and power equipment.
- Quantify plant-level load requirements for normal operation and equipment sizing, during hub development.
- Specify off-the-shelf electronics components (including but not limited to motors, solenoid valves, detection, and alarm devices) in accordance with code requirements and area classifications.
- Assist in startup, commissioning, and troubleshooting (on-site at current and future hub locations, travel required up to 50%).
- In concert with Operations, help create and document procedures for safe startup and isolation of power equipment, motor control centers, and "balance of plant".
- As needed, perform root cause analysis for process and safety issues, or nonconformance of an electrical or controls subsystem vs. specification.
- Collaborate with other Technology engineers on detailed designs for current or future hubs.
- Perform engineering duties at customer or hub sites as required.
- Identifies creative design solutions that optimize project capital or operating costs, equipment reliability, or project schedule.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering required, Master's degree desirable.
- 5+ years of experience.
- Professional Engineering (PE) license preferred, not required.
- Experience with supporting a chemical or materials operation on site and upgrading/optimizing operating plant processes.
- Demonstrated ability to work in a self-directed manner, with minimal day-to-day supervision.
- Practical knowledge of Six Sigma, Lean, TQM, and/or other quality programs.
- Experience working with outsourced engineering organizations.
