About the role

About the role

  • This internship will involve supporting the design and validation of our commercial
  • product. The intern will contribute to the design of a regenerative drying and purification
  • system to enable efficient and continuous production of high-purity hydrogen. Working
  • closely with an R&D engineer, the intern will characterize thermal/separation processes,
  • develop control systems, and optimize operating parameters to satisfy key reliability and
  • cost constraints. As the directly responsible individual overseeing an experimental test
  • station, the intern will develop a data analysis framework to provide key insights into
  • long-term physicochemical phenomena. The role may involve working with vendors to
  • design and develop custom components.
