What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Mechanical Engineer position at Amogy?
Brief Description
Amogy is an innovative cleantech startup on a mission to unlock ammonia's potential as a clean energy source. Driven by a vision of a more sustainable future, we've developed carbon-free energy solutions that leverage ammonia as an alternative fuel to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, including maritime shipping and stationary power generation. Join our dynamic team as we accelerate the commercialization of our technology and revolutionize the future of energy.
Location: This role is fully onsite at our office in Brooklyn, NY or Houston, TX.
Job Summary
We are looking for a hands-on and highly technical Principal Mechanical Engineer to lead and execute research and development and commercially deployable projects from concept to scale-up. This role entails directly contributing to efforts in the evaluation of reactors, combustors, burners, pressure vessels, frames and structures, and other high temperature and pressurized components and systems, operating in ammonia and hydrogen environments. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to design, analyze, integrate, and test reactor and separation technologies for Amogy's next-generation power solutions.
This role requires a deep technical background in the mechanical and thermal design and analysis of systems related to technologies experiencing high temperature operation. Candidates should have a proven track-record of applying engineering principles to successful and robust product designs and a track-record of project and team leadership and developing and training engineers into productive contributors, as well as establishing and driving team adherence to engineering standards, best practices, and work processes.
