ppAt Kerionics, we work to drive a real change in the world: accelerating industrial decarbonization through technologies that make cleaner, more efficient energy possible. /p pAs a spin-off from ITQ (UPV-CSIC), we were born from scientific knowledge, but our objective is clear: to transform research into real industrial solutions. Our SOEC technology, thanks to its high energy efficiency, allows us to produce hydrogen where it's needed most: in energy-intensive industries such as steel, petrochemicals, cement, ceramics, glass and paper. /p pWe want to prove that an ambitious energy transition is not only possible, but already underway, and you can be part of it. /p h3Who we are /h3 pWe are a multicultural team of more than 35 people, united by a shared purpose: building a more sustainable future through technological innovation. /p pScientists, engineers and business professionals, passionate about turning scientific knowledge into real technology that solves the challenges of the industries that most need to decarbonize. /p h3What you will do /h3 pYour mission will be to bdesign, develop, validate and industrialize the mechanical components of our SOEC/SOFC stacks /b (interconnects, compression systems, structural parts), ensuring they are robust, manufacturable and reliable, so we can scale a validated, production-ready electrolysis stack. /p h3Mechanical design /h3 ul liYou will design the stack's mechanical components (interconnect plates, end plates, manifolds, etc.), including CAD modelling and tolerance analysis. /li liYou will translate CFD insights (developed jointly with the specialist) into concrete design decisions. /li liYou will keep at least one design iteration moving per week (CAD update, drawing revision or design review) for components under active development. /li /ul h3Analysis and simulation /h3 ul liYou will run mechanical and thermomechanical simulations of the stack, feeding results into design decisions within the same week. /li liYou will work closely with the team's CFD specialist. /li /ul h3Validation and manufacturing /h3 ul liYou will validate the design through prototype assemblies, DFMEA and coordination with the testing team; this is where you'll spend most of your time. /li liYou will directly supervise assembly whenever a new stack design is built for the first time, making sure the build matches specifications. /li liYou will coordinate with suppliers on manufacturing processes (stamping, laser welding, sealing) and their technical follow-up, flagging any risk of delay at least two weeks in advance. /li /ul h3Collaboration and documentation /h3 ul liYou will provide technical input during post-mortem analysis of stack failures or test-bench issues, helping interpret root causes.



/li liYou will coordinate with European project partners on anything that affects the design. /li liYou will document technical specifications and prepare the corresponding reports. /li /ul h3How we work /h3 pYou will work bon-site /b at our facilities in Parque Tecnológico de Paterna (Valencia), close to the product: lab, workshop, prototypes and test benches. /p pThere are no fully defined processes here, and no single right way of doing things: you will work in an bRD environment /b where the design evolves alongside what we learn with each iteration. We're looking for someone comfortable in that context (analytical, resourceful, motivated by seeing their design become a real component) who gains autonomy progressively as they get to know the product and the team. /p pWe start early, at b7:30 am /b, which lets us benjoy /bour bafternoons /bfor sports, family or whatever you prefer. /p h3What we ask for /h3 h3Must-haves /h3 ul liDegree in Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace or related Engineering. /li liAt least 2 years of experience in mechanical design of metal components (CAD, surfaces in SolidWorks). /li liSolid understanding of thermomechanical design (thermal expansion, stress analysis, tolerance stack-up). /li liExperience with sheet-metal manufacturing processes (stamping, welding) and direct supplier coordination. /li liFamiliarity with GDT and engineering drawing standards. /li liAbility to communicate professionally in Spanish or English. /li liValid work permit for Spain. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this position. /li liResidence in Valencia, or availability to relocate within 8 weeks. /li /ul h3We're looking for someone who... /h3 ul liThinks across mechanical, thermal and materials considerations, without locking into a single discipline. /li liIs resourceful and meticulous about tolerances and manufacturability. /li liCan communicate clearly with suppliers and international partners. /li liAdapts well to a scale-up environment where priorities shift. /li libIs building their career as a design engineer and wants a role to grow into with progressive responsibility /b, not a senior-level fit from day one. /li /ul h3Not required, but you'll surprise us if you also... /h3 ul liHave experience with high-temperature systems (SOEC/SOFC, fuel cells, electrolysers or similar energy technologies). /li liAre familiar with simulation tools such as PrePoMax or OpenFOAM.



/li liHave worked with ceramic materials or fragile components. /li liKnow DFMEA methodology or design-for-automation principles. /li liHave experience in a startup or scale-up. /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 ul lib€25-30K /b, depending on experience and fit. /li liPermanent contract. /li liWorking hours from 7:30 to around 16:00, giving you your bafternoons free /b. /li li22 working days of holiday, plus the Christmas period. /li liCross-learning sessions with people from different areas. /li liAnnual training budget tailored to your needs. /li liLanguage lessons. /li liEnrichment through the cultural diversity of our team: you'll work alongside people from India, the UK, Poland, France, Pakistan, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and more. /li liEvery Friday, from 11:00 to 12:00, a proper Valencian esmorzaret to disconnect and get to know each other outside of work. /li liBeing part of a purpose-driven startup, where learning and sustainability go hand in hand. /li liContributing directly to industrial decarbonization through SOEC technology. /li /ul h3How the selection process will look /h3 ul liA video call with our People Culture team, to expand on your application and answer any questions. /li liAn in-person meeting with your future manager, Nicolás Hernández, to talk through the technical side of the role. /li liIf everything fits, you'll receive an offer. We aim to keep this under 3 to 4 weeks from first contact. /li /ul pAt Kerionics, we firmly believe in equal opportunities. All candidates will be considered regardless of gender, age, origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or any other personal characteristic. /p pIf you have a disability and need any adjustment during the selection process, write to us confidentially at /p h3And last but not least, about our culture... /h3 ul libWe make everything possible. /bIt's the spirit that drives our resilience, fuels our innovation, and pushes us to keep overcoming challenges. /li libWe speak up. /bRadical honesty is how we make ideas stronger and build trust. /li libWe get curious. /bWhether it's cracking a membrane problem or rethinking how we run a morning meeting, we explore, test and iterate. /li libWe've got each other's backs. /bWe share knowledge, celebrate wins big and small, and help when someone's stuck. /li libWe value every background. /bDiversity isn't just talk, it's how we innovate better. /li libWe own it. /bWe're proactive; we don't wait around. This is our project, and every one of us pushes it forward. /li libWe learn from our mistakes. /bWe're not afraid to try, fail, and try again. That's how we turn bold ideas into real breakthroughs. /li libWe care. /bAbout safety, about impact, about the people next to us in the blue polo. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
