Mechanical Engineer

Hysata is on a mission to accelerate the shift from fossil fuels to green hydrogen with the world’s most efficient electrolyser. Our breakthrough capillary-fed electrolyser achieves an unprecedented 95% system efficiency (41.5 kWh / kg) – a step change from incumbent technologies, which typically sit at ~75% and already ahead of International Renewable Energy Agency’s 2050 target. This leap in performance enables a radically simpler system design, slashing both energy use (opex) and system and renewables capex.

Hysata’s innovation has captured global attention, including publication in Nature Communications and support from leading strategic and financial investors such as BP, POSCO and Vestas. With over 100 team members, we’re a high-performing, purpose-driven company, proud to be 35% women, representing 20+ nationalities, and united by a shared mission to enable the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, chemical manufacturing, shipping and aviation.

Having secured Australia’s largest ever cleantech Series B raise of US$111 million, Hysata is scaling rapidly to bring our technology to market. With strong customer demand and a clear path to manufacturing at scale, we are on track to become a global leader in green hydrogen and put a major dent in global emissions.

About the role

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our Industrialisation team to work on multiple projects with direct responsibility for tooling and equipment design as we scale our in‑house manufacturing capability. Working closely with our design team you will work to bridge the gap between lab scale, pilot and high‑volume manufacturing. The ideal candidate will be highly innovative, with experience in mechanical design, test development spanning mechanical and electrical fields and comfortable with hands on work utilizing rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, machining, laser cutting, etc.). You will thrive in the fast‑paced start‑up world where no two days are the same. You’ll be joining a team of smart, driven, collaborative and highly dedicated individuals who love solving engineering challenges and who are excited to be fighting the climate crisis.

Role responsibilities

• Design and implementation of in‑house tooling to support our efforts to scale manufacturing;
• Collaborate with Design, Assembly and Process teams to implement new cell architectures;
• Meet design requirements via an iterative process, collaborating with team members;
• Direct involvement with prototyping product designs and manufacturing processes;
• Work with Hysata partners to define, develop, and validate manufacturing processes and tools;
• Define and execute validation plans in collaboration with the rest of the Hysata team;
• Be involved in data reviews to enable data driven learning; and
• Develop SOPs and safety protocols for new tools and processes.
