Green Hydrogen Lab Technician

Envision Energy is a leading green-tech company with presence in Europe, North America, and Asia. With the mission of ‘solving the challenges for a sustainable future’, Envision designs, sells, and operates smart wind turbines and strives to produce green chemicals towards global carbon footprint reduction. Envision is committed to promoting the adaptation of wind and solar power, electric batteries, and green hydrogen to create a zero-carbon world.

Green Hydrogen plays an essential role towards our net-zero mission. Hydrogen has widespread industrial and transport applications. Conventional hydrogen production from fossil fuels is accompanied by the release of large quantities of carbon dioxide. Our innovative technologies use renewable energy and water to produce green hydrogen with zero emission. We aspire to improve efficiency, reduce the cost, and scale the manufacturing to meet the booming green hydrogen market.

We are seeking an ambitious and highly motivated Lab Technician (Contractor) to join our newly launched Hydrogen Center of Excellence (COE) in Burlington, MA. As a member of the test / analysis team, you will collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and production staff to fabricate and maintain machines that operate different scales and types of water electrolyzers. Together, we will pioneer groundbreaking solutions aimed at transforming our technologies for cost-effective, carbon free hydrogen production.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Fabricate, install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electrolyzer test stations to meet product development and safety requirements.
• Assemble single cells and short stacks, operate test stations and provide high-quality, consistent results.
