Hgen's mission is to achieve a clean and renewable energy future through providing foundational molecules for critical industries. By enabling cheap and abundant clean hydrogen, Hgen aims to help decarbonize the more than 10% of global emissions that are best addressed with hydrogen. Learn more about why clean hydrogen is critical for achieving zero-emissions.

As a Mechanical Technician, you will play a crucial role in building the prototypes and test stands that form the backbone of our cutting-edge hydrogen production technology. You will use your hands-on skills to fabricate and assemble electrolyzer stacks, construct mechanical structures, and install mechanical piping and tubing. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment, where your contributions will have a direct impact on the development and scaling of breakthrough clean energy technology.

Fabricate and assemble electrolyzer stacks, ensuring high standards for consistency, cleanliness, and quality

Build and integrate mechanical and fluid systems into the electrolyzer system and balance of plant

Diagnose and repair any mechanical or fluid issues, ensuring that all systems operate safely and efficiently

Work closely with engineers to understand design requirements and ensure that builds meet technical specifications and safety standards

Accurately record build processes, modifications, nonconformances, and test results to support traceability and improvements to system design and production processes
