AMOGY, Inc.
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.
We are looking for a Principal Mechanical FEA Enginee r who will serve as a mechanical- and thermal-analysis subject matter expert for Amogy's structural analysis group. This role entails 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.
This role requires a deep technical background in the mechanical and heat-transfer/thermal design and analysis of systems related to technologies experiencing high temperature operation, with an emphasis on heat-transfer subject matter expertise. Candidates should have a proven track-record of applying engineering principles to successful and robust product designs and a track-record of project leadership and developing and training more junior engineers into productive contributors and establish and drive team adherence to engineering standards, best practices, and work processes.
