Job summary

Noble Gas Systems is seeking a highly capable Application Engineer to translate customer requirements into safe, manufacturable high‑pressure gas storage solutions. You will drive design development from concept to release, coordinate validation, and oversee certification activities with customers and partners.

You will coordinate across mechanical, fluid, and electrical teams, perform analyses, and create robust design verification plans.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in application engineering, product engineering, mechanical design, or product development, preferably with pressure-containing equipment or safety-critical products.
• Strong understanding of mechanics of materials, pressure loading, fatigue, thermal effects, material behavior, and mechanical interfaces.
• Hands-on experience designing and building mechanical systems and prototypes with CAD, hardware, test equipment, data, and documentation.
• Experience using 3D CAD software for design and production drawings; knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis is preferred.
• Experience with structured product development and design-control tools including DFMEA, DVP&R, requirements traceability, design reviews, engineering change control, verification reports, and root-cause actions.
• Ability to interpret engineering analysis and test data and present findings to stakeholders.
• Familiarity with FEA/CFD methods and applying results to design decisions.
• Experience with certifications, standards, and regulated products is a plus.
• Experience with hydrogen, high-pressure components, and composite structures is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Work with customers to understand use cases and define technical requirements (gas species, pressure, storage capacity, temperature, life, interfaces).
• Translate customer needs into measurable engineering requirements, specs, acceptance criteria, and critical-to-quality characteristics.
• Develop interface definitions and coordinate mechanical, fluid, electrical, mounting, and system integration requirements.
• Create and evaluate high-pressure vessel concepts using CAD, calculations, and trade studies.
• Perform and coordinate analyses including pressure loads, fatigue, thermal effects, tolerances, and material compatibility.
• Collaborate with analysis specialists to apply FEA/CFD for margins, stress, thermal, and flow concerns.
• Lead design studies and reviews to optimize safety, durability, weight, manufacturability, and certification margins.
• Develop and maintain DFMEA, DVP&R, and verification strategies linking risks to tests and requirements.
• Plan prototype builds, instrumentation, test sequences, data acquisition, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate certification testing with internal teams, customers, labs, and third parties.
