Job Details

The Role: Senior Systems Analysis Engineer

As a Senior Systems Analysis Engineer, you will be responsible for system analysis efforts to ensure LIFTE H2 stays several steps ahead of not just the competition, but the global market. You will be the pointy tip of the spear in providing the technical and economic analysis insights for how hydrogen supply chains will mature. You will develop and timely deliver systems analysis results, including functional specifications, system and subsystem hydrogen supply chain architectures, trade-off studies, and protocols. You will also contribute to build or improve our internal techno-economic models to generate insights on cost, function, and performance of the supply chain elements. You will be part of a growing team, and work collaboratively with the team members and also across other functional teams in the company to refine key system requirements. The team’s work will form the basis of LIFTE H2’s strategy, product definitions, and technology partnerships. The rules of the hydrogen economy have not been written yet, therefore you need to discover them and point our commercial, product management, and delivery teams in the right direction.

The Senior Systems Analysis Engineer will report to the Systems Analysis Team Lead.

Your Responsibilities

Apply advanced system analysis techniques to lead concept exploration, system trade analyses, and system architecture development.
Build and/or improve model components of LIFTE H2’s set of techno-economic modeling tools of hydrogen supply chains consisting of H2 generation, compression, storage, distribution (pipeline, over road), refueling, and the interfaces thereof.
