Job description

EIFHYTEC is looking for a mechanical engineer to strengthen its design office and production team.

The engineer’s main tasks will be:
– Carry out mechanical structure calculations (analytical calculations, calculations using finite element modelling) as well as the associated calculation notes
– Design parts and sub-systems (pressure vessels, components) using CAD software (Autodesk Inventor or equivalent)
– Carry out modelling and drawing work
– Contribute to the management of relations with EIFHYTEC’s main suppliers: definition of specifications, commercial negotiations, contract monitoring, etc.
– Participate in the certification process for machines produced by EIFHYTEC
– Project management: engineering studies and pre-commercial demonstrations
– Write technical documentation and other deliverables in French and English
– Contribute to prototyping work in the workshop
– Make occasional contributions to machine production in the workshop
– Supervise trainees or alternates on technical assignments
Type of contract: Permanent
Salary: To be defined according to the candidate’s profile.
Location: Haguenau (25 min from Strasbourg) Occasional travel in France and Europe

Profile

We are looking for a candidate with a degree in mechanical engineering. The candidate must have excellent mechanical skills (design, structural calculations, tolerancing, etc.) and master one or more CAD programs (Autodesk Inventor or equivalent). Given the importance of teamwork and the many interactions with external partners and suppliers, he/she must have strong interpersonal skills (listening, empathy, understanding of customer issues, negotiation skills), be able to commit to a longterm project and be passionate about technical and industrial issues.

The candidate must be able to work autonomously and take the initiative in a small organisation where everyone’s involvement counts.

Given the European dimension of the team, excellent knowledge of English and German is highly desirable.

EIFHYTEC is an independent French and European industrial start-up located in Strasbourg and Haguenau, in Northern Alsace (France). We are specialized in the development and industrialization of hydrogen infrastructure solutions for the energy transition. In particular, EIFHYTEC develops non-mechanical hydrogen compressors for green hydrogen transport and hydrogen filling stations. EIFHYTEC has launched an R&D programme aimed at optimising existing solutions and developing new products.

The energy performance of tanks plays a major role in the efficiency and technical-economic viability of hydrogen compression. EIFHYTEC is looking for an engineering intern to study solutions for insulating and optimizing the energy performance of tanks used for hydrogen compression. The trainee will work in close collaboration with the engineering office to carry out his/her assignments. Duties will include:

• Materials
• Performance
• Costs

• Energy performance calculations
• Numerical simulations
• Identification of regulatory constraints
• Assessment of costs and service life

• Setting up the test protocol in the workshop
• Selection and ordering of required measuring instruments
• Construction of test bench
• Carry out the test in collaboration with the production manager and his team
• Evaluation of results
• Drafting of a test report

We are looking for a student with an engineering background, specializing in energy, thermodynamics or equivalent. The student must be in his/her final year of study and looking for an internship where he/she can apply his/her technical and cross-disciplinary skills. We are looking for a student who is passionate about energy transition issues in their entirety, but who is also capable of being rigorously and consistently involved in the technical development of high-tech components. The student must have a good knowledge of energetics (energy balances, heat transfer), and ideally master numerical simulation software (Star-CCM or equivalent). Knowledge of materials processing is an asset. He/she must be able to work autonomously and take the initiative in a small structure where the involvement of each individual is essential. Given the team’s European dimension, an excellent command of English is a must, and knowledge of German is highly desirable.

In particular, EIFHYTEC develops non-mechanical hydrogen compressors for green hydrogen transport and hydrogen filling stations. EIFHYTEC has launched an R&D programme aimed at optimising existing solutions and developing new products.

The technological solutions developed by EIFHYTEC require the use of innovative metallic materials with properties adapted to hydrogen compression (mechanical strength, resistance to hydrogen, corrosion, thermal conduction, etc.). EIFHYTEC is looking for an engineering intern to contribute to the optimization of innovative materials, as well as to the creation of a test bench and a test campaign. The trainee will work in close collaboration with one of the engineers in the design office and the production manager.

The trainee’s tasks will include :

• Carrying out bibliographical studies on available innovative materials in relation to EIFHYTEC’s application constraints, as well as co-developing a materials database 
• Drawing up material optimization proposals based on the bibliographic analysis. 

• Design of a test bench: design, sizing, choice of components 
• Analysis of regulatory framework and applicable safety rules 
• Drawing up specifications, consulting suppliers and monitoring the production of samples  
• Participation in test bench construction 
• Conduct experiments on small-scale prototypes  

• Data acquisition and technical-economic analyses 

Type of contract: Internship contract

Location: Haguenau (France)  Depinding on the progress of the student, a part of the activity may take place at a partner’s location, in south-west Germany.

Salary/gratification: ~950€/month
