Boston, Massachusetts, United States Found Energy Full time
Company Overview

Found Energy is a pioneering clean energy company that is revolutionizing the way heavy industries produce energy. Our mission is to replace fossil fuels with clean energy delivery platforms that can power industries such as aluminum production, fertilizer production, and maritime shipping.

We are building on technology developed at MIT that enables metallic aluminum to split water, generating hydrogen and industrial heat on-site at a higher energy density than liquid hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia. Our technology integrates storage, transport, and generation into a single package, solving some of the biggest pain points in renewable energy transportation and storage.

At Found Energy, we are committed to securing a livable and equitable future for our planet. We are looking for talented individuals who share our vision and are motivated by the climate crisis to join our team.

Job Overview

Found Energy has successfully demonstrated its core hydrogen generation technologies at the kW-scale, including a system capable of powering a full-sized electric vehicle. We are now scaling up the reactor system for both our minimum viable product (MVP) and commercial pilot demonstrations.

The completion of the MVP and commercial pilots requires designing and testing numerous sub-processes and sub-systems at the targeted industrial scale, as well as at various intermediate scales along the way. R&D interns/co-ops will work with Found Energy engineers to help design, fabricate, and test the various subcomponents of our MVP, as well as supporting their integration and system-level validation.

Beyond developing the MVP, R&D interns/co-ops will also engage in technology development in line with the company's strategic technical roadmap.

Responsibilities and Duties
  • Design, build, and test subsystems utilizing CAD, machine shop, and lab
  • Ensure the seamless integration of individual subsystems in the MVP and prototypes
  • Interface with external part fabrication when needed (e.g. part drawings, tolerances, etc.)
  • Develop and enhance in-house machining capabilities
  • Specify, downselect, and modify COTS components
  • Create listed BOM for mechanical as well as electrical systems
  • Create process flow diagrams, models, and simulations of the prototype and production systems
  • Validation of subsystems through CFD, thermal, and structural simulations
  • Participate in and lead design reviews of mechanical subsystems
  • Develop safety systems and protocols for the prototype and production systems
  • Design and build fixtures to support testing of prototypes and R&D lab experiments
  • Translate R&D work into production functional requirements and specifications
  • Participate in building and growing company culture and values
Preferred Qualifications
  • Deeply motivated by the climate crisis and its downstream impacts
  • Exceptional communication and documentation skills
Experience in one or multiple of the following
  • Mechanical design and fabrication (machining, sheet metal, welding etc.)
  • Tolerance stacking of large assemblies and sub assemblies
  • One or more CAD software packages (Solidworks, Autodesk, etc.)
  • CFD, thermal, and structural simulation
  • Electrical systems design (sensors, microcontrollers, relays, etc.)
  • Fluid and/or gas handling systems, including safety and compliance
  • Fuel cells and battery systems
  • Familiarity with one or more software languages (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
  • Thermodynamics theory and modeling software (e.g. EES, REFPROP)
