VACANCY: PRODUCT INNOVATION ENGINEER


Function:

  • You actively look for ways to innovate our products
  • You start from a concept or specifications and fully develop a design, taking into account advice, calculations, feasibility and legal rules, while keeping a qualitative design and layout in mind at all times.
  • You are looking for an optimal cost/performance ratio. You analyze results by performing tests and thus help to fine-tune the product and process, while not losing sight of things like standardization, optimization and maintenance.
  • In this role you will work closely with a group of talented engineers in various technical disciplines (electronics, software, hydraulics, fluidodynamics, …). You will also work closely with the R&D manager and liaise with key suppliers and engineering support companies with whom Solenco Power has strategic partnerships.
  • You are responsible for the project management from A to Z: quotation, order, subsequent calculation, invoicing, turnover, result & delivery
  • You contribute to the design and specifications for your own 15kW electrolyser
  • You are partly responsible for determining the strategic objectives regarding the growth of the company in the market
  • You will work on a strategy to find external partners who can be referred to abroad as “premium installers”

Profile:

  • You have a master’s degree (industrial/civil engineering) or are equivalent through experience.  5 to 10 years of relevant work experience and technical expertise are a must.
  • You have knowledge of:
    • Electrical conversion systems that make the connection between battery systems (DC), fuel cell systems (DC), electrolyser systems (DC) and the AC grid. Typical working areas of the zero-emission Powerbox system are: up to 100kW, up to 800VDC/ /400VAC electrical power.
    • Mechanical components and piping
    • Cooling and heat recovery systems
  • An interest in, or experience with, energy systems is a plus
  • You have knowledge of EMS/PLC/E-CAD systems
  • Knowledge of CFD packages (computational fluid dynamics), evacuation packages (such as Pathfinder) and zone models (such as Ozone) is a plus
  • Knowledge of rectifiers, transformers, capacitors, battery systems, grid connections, bus-bar designs, etc. is a plus
  • You take initiatives and work purposefully towards results
  • You have knowledge about mechanical analysis, heat analysis, power management (high power controls) & flow analysis
  • You have leadership qualities and a “can do” mentality
  • You are hands-on and can function both independently and in a team

 Offer:

  • A pleasant and dynamic working atmosphere in an innovative SME
  • A competitive salary according to your background and experience
  • A solid education, the necessary technical support and career opportunities
  • The opportunity to contribute to an ecological and sustainable future through hydrogen technology
