1. System Architecture & Integration

Develop overall system architecture for electrolyser products from pilot scale to large industrial systems.

Define modular system concepts, equipment interfaces, and expansion philosophy.

Integrate stack systems with BoP components, utilities, and customer interfaces.

Support standardization and productization of system designs.

2. Process Design

Prepare and review:

• Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
• Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• Mass and energy balances
• Operating philosophies
• Design systems for water handling, gas handling, cooling, venting, and auxiliary utilities.

Mechanical, Electrical & Controls Coordination

Coordinate with mechanical teams for piping, valves, manifolds, skids, and layout.

Support electrical integration including rectifiers, transformers, MCC/PCC, and power distribution.

Work with controls teams for PLC, SCADA, HMI, sensors, alarms, and interlocks.

3. Performance & Reliability

Perform system calculations for production capacity, efficiency, utility consumption, heat loads, and dynamic response.

Identify improvement opportunities for reliability, maintainability, and operational flexibility.

Participate in risk assessments such as FMEA, HAZOP, and safety reviews.

4. Documentation & Collaboration

Prepare engineering documents, datasheets, SOPs, manuals, and technical reports.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including stack design, R&D, manufacturing, service, and project execution teams.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s / Master’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related engineering discipline.

8-10 years of experience in system engineering, plant engineering, product integration, or industrial project execution.

Strong understanding of multidisciplinary engineering systems.
