Director, Engineering – Energy Systems

Your Impact:
Director, Engineering - New Energy Systems

• Lead engineering development of New Energy Systems with a particular focus on hydrogen‑based systems, including: electrolysis (PEM, alkaline, or SOEC); hydrogen storage (compressed gas, liquid hydrogen, or novel storage media); fuel cell (PEM, SOFC, or hybrid configurations); linear generators, nuclear, and thermal generators; balance‑of‑plant (compression, purification, thermal management, controls).
• Drive the New Energy Systems roadmap, guiding technology from concept through demonstration and commercial deployment.
• Evaluate emerging generation technologies and products for integration into the company’s solution portfolio, considering: technical performance and degradation characteristics; safety and intrinsic hazards; supply chain readiness and scalability; levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
• Develop and lead stage‑gate processes for New Energy Systems, advancing technologies and products from TRL 4–8 and MRL 4–8.
• Define technical criteria and lead system architecture design, including integration with renewable generation (solar, wind); grid interconnection and microgrids; energy management systems (EMS) and SCADA.
• Support project development and execution, including conceptual and detailed design; equipment specification and vendor selection; integration with EPC and construction teams.
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Lead development of product documentation, including design basis and system specifications; installation and commissioning procedures; operations & maintenance manuals.
• Collaborate with supply chain and manufacturing teams to industrialize hydrogen and fuel cell systems.
• Support funding and partnerships, including grants (DOE, CEC); strategic partnerships; and pilot projects.
• Provide technical support to commercial deployments to ensure performance, reliability, and continuous improvement.
• Foster a culture of technical excellence, innovation, accountability, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
