Job - SENIOR FUEL CELL - ELECTROLYSER SYSTEM ENGINEER (F/M) - 93

Our client is a french startup, awards winner, which builds high-performance carbon capture and electrolysis technologies that convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into the world’s most widely used renewable feedstocks, fuels, and commodity chemicals.
These outputs not only aim to provide cost effective and scalable alternatives to fossil fuel derived chemicals, while also abating emissions from the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors like shipping, aviation, and chemical manufacturing. This technology has the potential to eliminate gigatons of CO2 emissions and be a critical component of humanity’s climate solution.
