Fall 2026 / Winter 2027 R&D Engineering Intern – Hydrogen Systems
Why This Role Stands Out
This R&D Engineering Internship offers an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on experience in designing and validating innovative hydrogen systems, with direct ownership of experimental test stations and a chance to influence commercial product development. You'll thrive here if you have a strong engineering foundation, enjoy problem-solving, and are eager to contribute to cutting-edge clean energy technology. Apply now to launch your career in a dynamic and impactful environment!
Quick Overview
Job Description
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.
