INOCEL is a French company in the industrial energy transition, specialized in the design and commercialization of modular, free‑emission hydrogen generators. Our solutions deliver continuous and reliable power to critical industries - from data centers to construction sites and remote locations - without compromising performance.

Backed by more than 25 years of research on hydrogen fuel cells, we offer modular generators for both stationary and mobile applications: GEN‑Z 300, GEN‑Z 600, and GEN‑Z 1300. Beyond equipment, INOCEL provides turnkey solutions, including integration, maintenance, and advanced monitoring to ensure reliability, performance, and durability.

With industrial production in Belfort and R&D centers in Grenoble and Cannes, INOCEL combines innovation, technological expertise, and positive environmental impact. Our scalable and silent solutions enable partners worldwide to transition toward a zero‑carbon future, reinforcing our international vision and our role as a global leader in hydrogen energy.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Systems Engineer to support the development of advanced fuel cell systems for stationary power applications.

The successful candidate will lead systems engineering activities throughout the product development lifecycle, ensuring that customer, regulatory, performance, and safety requirements are properly defined, allocated, verified, and validated.

This role requires strong expertise in Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), requirements management, system architecture, and cross‑functional coordination. The ideal candidate will have experience working on complex electro‑mechanical, thermal, or energy systems and be comfortable interfacing with engineering teams across multiple disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead systems engineering activities for stationary fuel cell products and Balance of Plant (BoP) subsystems.
• Capture, analyze, and manage stakeholder, customer, regulatory, and product requirements.
• Develop and maintain requirements traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
• Manage requirements using tools such as Polarion, DOORS, or equivalent requirements management platforms.
• Define system architectures, interfaces, functional decompositions, and verification strategies.
• Apply Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies to support system definition, design, and validation activities.
• Develop and maintain system models, use cases, functional architectures, and interface definitions.
• Coordinate requirements allocation across hardware, software, controls, electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineering teams.
• Support hazard analysis, risk assessments, and safety engineering activities.
• Define verification and validation plans and ensure compliance with product requirements.
• Support system integration, testing, troubleshooting, and performance analysis.
• Facilitate technical reviews and ensure alignment between system requirements and product design.
