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.
